Lightroom and Camera Raw: More Photoshop like clone/healing/content aware brushes
More Photoshop like clone/healing brushes in Lightroom!
I love retouching in Photoshop, especially with the content aware fill with the healing tool, but Lightrooms tools are clunky. I don't know if there are technical limitations to implementing tools like Photoshop's in Lightroom but it would be GREAT!
I would rather be able to get a baseline retouched image in Lightroom than having to edit in Photoshop and then come back to Lightroom. I would rather just use Photoshop for image alterations.

Adobe you can't really say you listen to feedback and then ignore the #1 requested item. I want the feature so badly I wouldn't even mind if it only worked in LR if Photoshop was installed on my system.

* Different shaped brushes
* Ability to change aspect ratios of brushes
* Ability to rotate brushes/source
* Ability to stack/layer multiple clones/healing spots
* Better control over edge softness/dither
This is by FAR the most important thing to add to LR4 - Not just in my opinion, but in the fact that this is easily the most requested feature here.
Come on Adobe - Make LR4 great!

I personally don't use and don't need content-aware fill, so I'd be satisfied with the conventional cloning brush.

Has Adobe actually officially commented on this subject?
Question : Dear Adobe... are you going to inprove / add this feature yes or NO.
If yes then when.
Quite a simple question but one that leaves me thinking that the only strategy that adobe have here (As with other manufacturers naming no names apple) just drip feed enough features in order to drag out revenue lines over many years....
I am new to LR and find the endless requests for this feature quite frustrating as the demand surely demonstrates the need for this apparantly (depending on which comments you read) easy /difficult - absoloutely desperate to have/ not that bothered about it debate.

Question: Dear commenters... are you going to stop being overly dramatic or passive aggressive with respect to a feature request that has ballooned to epic proportions, yes or NO?
A follow up: Dear "software programmers by day", are you going to keep telling Adobe what is easy and not easy to implement, without any knowledge of the actual source code?
A good reason (in my book) why this feature hasn't received "acknowledgement" is how absurdly broad it has become (no thanks to some merging with other topics, what's up with that?). Some want content aware cloning, some want layers and stacking, some want different brush shapes, others want healing mask rotation and mirroring, others free-hand selection, or even healing history. A new sub-request pops up every week, flagged as "the most important thing to add to LR since sliced bread", one that certainly would require "very little development resource".
Just re-split the topic already! At least with soft-proofing or geotagging it's not unreasonable (though not guaranteed) to expect "yes/no/here is our plan" from the developers, but why are you guys expecting an acknowledgement on something that *large*? Maybe (I say maybe) if we had different topics, all with the same "healing brush" *tag* and prefix (say Lightroom: Healing Brush: Rotation and Mirroring") to keep it tidy, Adobe could get a chance to chime-in on what is specific enough. In the "Lightroom: Healing Brush: Content Aware" topic we could eventually see something more official like "huhhh, did you notice how CPU intensive content-aware fill is in PS? how do you expect that to work in a non-destructive, real-time app like LR, especially with lens correction on?!" (not what you would want to hear but helpful nonetheless).

If you were also to add facial recognition too i'd be able to move my personal photo's from apple software to adobe, Which i'd love.
These 2 updates would reduce my photo editing software requirements from 4 programs (LR, PS, Aperture & iPhoto) to just LR and that would be a god send.

I found your response to be a bit over the top to be honest mate. Just wanted to have my 2c. I really have no interest in reading the entire thread. It's super long and I have a business to run. Hope you can understand.
