Using the healing brush in order to smooth a selection

The idea here is to remove pixel edges created while working on a selection.

Please note that this is the last step before printing.

Process:
► Create an empty layer on top of the 'finished image' (This prevents editing the original)
► Select the healing tool brush
► Make sure 'Sample all layers option is selected'
► Use a small feathered brush to work with, adjust the size as needed.
► Work on small areas, changing the brush source frequently, if not every time.

The screen captures show the initial difference. (1&2)
Take note the bleeding in some areas. This will be removed using the eraser tool, sharp-edged, small areas. (3) The corrections are hard to see but present.

I’ve used the blur tool to soften the edges of a selection a bit.
