Which tool does not require a sample spot to be painted?

• A. Healing Brush Tool
• B. Clone Stamp Tool
• C. Spot Healing Brush Tool
• D. Dodge Tool

Answer: (C)

Spot Healing Brush Tool automatically uses pixels from the surrounding area to fix a spot, so you can simply brush over the blemish without selecting a separate sample first. This automatic sampling blends texture, color, and shading to make the correction look seamless. The Healing Brush Tool and Clone Stamp Tool require you to specify a source patch or point (sample) before painting, which is why they require a sample spot. The Dodge Tool modifies brightness rather than repairing content, so it isn’t about using a sampled area to match surroundings.
