Healing Brush tool.

The Healing Brush tool lets you correct imperfections, causing them to disappear

into the surrounding image. Like the cloning tools, you use the Healing Brush tool to

paint with sampled pixels from an image or pattern. However, the Healing Brush

tool also matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled

pixels to the pixels being healed. As a result, the repaired pixels blend seamlessly

into the rest of the image.
