For this lesson we used the following tools
Spot Healing Brush Tool (J)
Healing Brush Tool (J hold down
left mouse button)
Patch Tool (J hold down left mouse
button)
The Spot Healing tool works like an eraser. Once an area has been highlighted the tool finds another point of the photograph nearby and it to covers up the part you want erased with this nearby part.
The Patch tool is more manual. first you circle the part you want erased (like the lasso tool) the you find the part you want it covered up once selected the system do the rest.
The healing brush tool is a little more complicated to deal with. First you hold ALT then click on a part you want to cover up the parts you doesn’t want then you paste that part up where ever you want it.
My feelings on these tools are below.

Comments:
The spot healing tool is not perfect but it is useful if you want something
quickly erased. I suggest using it on portraits like it was designed for.
The patch tool works better with this photo because it has a lot of
backgrounds further comments on the patch tool are on my next photo.

The Patch tool is a little harder to work with on more detailed pictures like this. It takes a little more work but with patience you can still use this tool effectively.
The Healing Brush tool is quite frustrating. To get it to work effectively it needs to be reset with a different patch every time you use it and it also needs work after to eliminate the shadows you might encounter. More work goes into setting it up and fixing its damages to the photo then it does fixing the photo so I do not like this tool.
