In case mask was made before healing we can select the mask and update it later. The red dot under masking tool advice us about a mask update is available. So it's not necessary to follow an order, just take care if the red dot in the masking tool appears. Thanks for the videos!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Maybe now's a time to explore all the recommended workflow steps and provide a video showing how to move the tools on the right in an order that makes sense (top tools do first, bottom tools last)? Could be interesting vid, it gets hard otherwise to always remember the best order of processing especially for those computers that are falling behind a bit in specs.
The ghost outline is just the original sky before applying the 'drama' in the sky. You don't need to follow any sequence of adjustments. Just clone and heal whatever and whenever you want, and update the mask later with the update button that appears in the mask (click on the three dots in the mask panel to see it).
Dang!!! Wish I knew this a long time ago. I'm going to redo three images I'm working on right now for a show since this has been the issue for me. Thanks for this huge tip Anthony.
Thanks for another informative video. I sometimes find that it is not obvious what has to be healed until all masks and adjustments are done in LR. One workaround that I use is to do a final healing in PS on a copy of the image with all LR adjustments. A bit cumbersome, but workable.
In spite of the great advances made in LrC healing tools, I still find them frustratingly inadequate and consequently do all my healing and removal work in PS. As an example, in a recent event shoot I did where part of the job was a photo booth concept, I had placed an X on the floor with gaffer's tape to indicate to people where I wanted them to stand (for optimal light). In several of the images as a result I could see the X on the floor, sometimes with someone's shoe on it, but not covering it. Clearly I needed to remove that X, but the Lr remove options could not distinguish the edge of the shoe from the carpet or the X resulting in a messy, inadequate remove. Pop over to PS and I could use the patch tool quickly and easily. So I find I still have a hard time trusting the Lr heal and remove tools and continue to default to PS for that work - its way faster and easier. As an added bonus, it doesn't cause any of the ghost image problems you're addressing here.
I've noticed that if I forgot and did the healing before the masking, the easiest correction is to go to each layer of the mask and fill in or erase as appropriate. It's a pain, but it removes the ghosties.
I find the healing and clone brush to be very poor in Lightroom and prefer to do any spot removal etc in Photoshop. Any idea why the tool is so much better in Photoshop compared to Lightroom?
As I understand (and could be wrong), LR is only changing metadata of the pixels so that it's not destructive and that just takes more time isn't as good as actually changing the pixels as PS does.
Thanks Anthony. I would say that this is a bug. The healing brush tool is using the wrong memory location to perform its function (i.e. pre-mask instead of post-mask). Have you registered this with Adobe?
I BETT THIS "tutorial" is not going to be removed despite it be proven a (huge) time loss for countless of people - since the "red dot" explanation came in within a couple of hours of publication, and despite the obviously better video that can follow. We bett ? That at least I see over and over again.

Does this occur only when the mask overlaps the "healed" region?
You just need to click the "update the mask" button 😉

Thank you. I've seen that red dot but didn't know what it meant. Now that I know, it will definitely be very useful for me.
Great point!! I assume you just click on refresh to update the mask? 😃
@@EverythingCameFromNothing Just click on the update button that appears in the mask 😃

Thank you for solving a problem I had experienced. You're my go to resource for photo processing.

Algorithm might be different in PS than it is in LR or Raw plugin.

Thanks !
Thanks.
Anthony, does the same thing happen in On1?
Is this a bug in LR or is this just the way masking works?
I’m just courteous. If I copyright in my camera do I also have to copyright in Lrc?
Pls elaborate
You mean curious?
Do you know whether using the healing tools in Photoshop after masking in Lightroom causes the same problem?
Thanks Anthony. I would say that this is a bug. The healing brush tool is using the wrong memory location to perform its function (i.e. pre-mask instead of post-mask). Have you registered this with Adobe?
The healing and Content aware tool is obviously using the Background Before you made the dramatic changed to the sky. Must be a bug.

That's got to be a bug. Let's hope Adobe fix it soon.
I never do any healing in Lightroom because Photoshop does it so much better!
Looks like a bug that Adobe needs to fix
