Lightroom 5 brought a number of important improvements over the last version and some of you that recently started to use this new build might not be aware of the latest features added.

In this new video tutorial, Julieanne Kost, principal evangelist Photoshop and Lightroom, explains the new features added to the Spot Healing Brush in Lightroom 5.

The tool has received two new enhancements in the latest Adobe Lightroom build, one of them being the way this tool calculates the best options for the selected spot. The second further improves the way Spot Healing Brush works by giving you the possibility to paint an area you want to fix and Lightroom will automatically find the best area to clone/heal from.

Moreover, if you don't like the spot selected by Lightroom, you can tap the “/” (forward slash) key and the application will automatically choose another area of the image that will be used to fix your spot. Check out the video above to learn more on this matter.
