CS5 Clone Stamp Tool Vs New Mixer Brush

[ebling]

Off lately i have being switching back and forth from the Clone stamp tool to the new Mixer Brush in Photoshop CS5. There is not much difference in results, but the mixer brush seems to speed up the workflow. The only issue i have noticed is finding an optimum setting and also it seems u lose a lot more skin texture. I would appreciate any comments regarding this issue, in particular good settings for the mixer brush and also if you notice any other issues apart from texture and settings, or any improvements to the work flow.
If you testing the mix brush try these settings
Turn on - Sample All layers
Turn Off - Load brush after each stroke
Turn On - Clean brush after each stroke
Try using the default settings range from moist - wet settings

Hi Ebling,

I actually haven't been too happy with the mixer brush, so I am still using the classic Clone Stamp. If I find a setting that works in similar fashion and speeds up my workflow, I will certainly let you know.
