Healing brush or eraser in CS4 smears or erases a part of the photo not being worked

While healing or erasing in Photoshop CS4, often it doesn't affect the area being worked, but smears or erases a different part of the photo.  If I am zoomed in and don't notice the problem, it can ruin the photo and cause me to have to start over.  Anyone know a fix for this?

The typical (and usually correct) advice is to update your drivers for your video card and tablet (if any).
Also make sure you have the latest Photoshop update (11.0.2).

  • How to erase a background and make it transparent so only part of the photo is left

    Hi all
    I need to erase (mask, clip??) a background completely so the subject is just sitting on a transparent background. I keep ending up with white being substituted when i save the document. I need it just to have the person or object with blank canvas behind so I use it like that in inDesign.
    Is there an idiots guide to how to do this.
    Many thanks for any help
    James

    best bet is to follow something like this: Quick Mask Mode | Understanding Adobe Photoshop CS6 | Adobe TV
    When you have finished cutting/masking you image hide all other layers other than one with the image on and then save as a .psd. then when in InDesign import the .psd and it will come in with no background.

  • DW CS4 - OS X 10.5.7 - Login and Passwords not being remembered

    Initially i had all my site definitions deleted  from DW CS4 and Contribute CS4 for no apparent reason (no crash or anything of note). Since then I cannot get my site login and password to remain after the application restarts.
    I did my inital research and found posts with similar problems but nothing seems to have worked for me.
    I have cleared all my old keychains from previous version (to no avail)
    I have also resorted to removing CS4 completely and running the CS4 Cleanup Utility  before re-installing as well, but the problem still exists.
    This is becoming a real problem as I have a lot of site definitions.
    Any ideas, suggestions.

  • I have an Apple16 GB with BT Yahoo home pad that had a small box to let me go to mail and another for  weather and below them I had my local weather in box,somehow I have erased them and don't know how to get the back ,not very good with computers.

    I have an Apple16GB with BT Yahoo home page which had a box for mail and weather and further down I had my local weather, I have touched something and lost these boxes and my home page has changed  and I would like to get it back as it was. I have to admit to being useless at computers although I love my I Pad. 

    Is this the website that you are looking for? According to the very little bit of research that I did on this before responding to you, there have been changes made to the website and to the way that works ...if I read everything correctly.
    http://home.bt.com/
    Did you have a shortcut to the website on your iPad home screen? If that is what you want to create again, navigate to that website in Safari and then tap the arrow icon next to the address/URL field at the top of the Safari toolbar. Form the window that will pop up, select - Add to Home Screen. That will put an icon on your home screen that will allow you to open directly to that page in Safari when you tap on it.

  • CS4 Burn/Dodge tools losing parts of the circle?

    Hi guys,
    I'm sure this is here somewhere, but I cannot find it. (I managed to find discussions in other forums via google, but thought I'd try here since those don't resolve my issue)
    Problem:
    Burn / Dodge tools losing 3/4 of the circle, leaving only the top-left portion
    The tools still work, but it makes it difficult to know where I'm burning or dodging because I cannot see all of the circle of the tool. I've noticed this only happens once I fill a layer or add any sort of texture. I can open a new file and the tool is there in full (tested from 10px up to 100px) but as soon as I do anything, poof.
    I'm using Win XP Home SP3, NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GT with the latest drivers (updated this morning). Every solution I've found thus far has been "update your drivers," but that isn't working in my case. Thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it.

    There is that... I have Version 11.0 installed. I am currently a college student, and have access to my college's Photoshop Learning/Tutoring Center (online discussions). Posted the same issue to a professor and they said to reset my preference settings back to default (hold ctrl+alt+shift while starting up PS) and so far it's worked. I'm going to get the update for v. 11.0.1 regardless. Thanks!

  • CS4 - crash with healing brush

    Again, today, I have the spinning beach ball after using the healing brush on a 489 MB image.
    I have to restart the MacPro (OS 10.5.6) and - of course -I will lose the last 15 minutes of work. I can't afford to save every 60 seconds, and this is a repeated crash event for me.
    How do I get a Photoshop crash report to see what is wrong?
    I can look at the Mac's console report after I restart - is that the only way?
    Dick

    Richard,
    Still not sure what you did. Did you buy the complete CS 4 Suite, but just wish to install Photoshop and Dreamweaver from that Suite?
    If so, maybe the solution is to completely uninstall all previous versions of Adobe software, run system maintenance, and do a fresh install Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 alone. No need to install CS2 or CS3 again -- just use their serial numbers when prompted.
    >I seem to recall reading that Adobe designed it so that you can only upgrade from a suite to the next ENTIRE suite package - and not upgrade individual programs. That's just what I tried to do - CS3 creative suite to Photoshop CS4 - and the result is a big mess.
    But, if you just bought the two individual apps, and not the Suite, you did not upgrade Suite to Suite. A single application is not an upgrade path from a previous Creative Suite -- only a Suite to Suite upgrade is, although you don't have to install all CS4 components. If this is what you did, then you need to call Adobe and see if they'll work something out. A friend of mine was able to install a Photoshop CS4 upgrade (he has the complete CS3 Suite) -- but only after an exasperating three hours on the phone with Adobe somewhere in downtown India.
    >Can we just bundle Photoshop and Dreamweaver - for the countless photographers who have websites
    But Dreamweaver is probably far more overkill here than Photoshop is.

  • Photo moves while using spot healing brush

    I've been using the spot healing brush basically on every photo but recently when I go to use it and press Option to get a clone source and then click my mouse the photo will move everywhere the mouse moves and not allow for a touch up.
    It doesn't matter if I'm clicking the mouse the whole time or not, it just happens when i click once while using the healing brush.
    I've tried reseting work space reseting my computer everything and I'm just desperate right now to figure out how to fix it.
    because my latest photo shoot is of a young girl covered in acne and the spot healing brush is the best when it comes to making it blend.
    i've asked everyone i know who uses photoshop and they have no idea. I can't be the only person this has happened to.

    I guess you meant the healing brush? (the clone overlay is not supposed to be active with the
    spot healing brush)
    If your using cs4/cs5, check Clipped or Auto Hide in the clone source panel (Window>Clone Source) and see if that's better.

  • Using the healing brush tool

    Anybody able to give me a simple explanation of how to use the healing brush tool to retouch  photograph?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium...  And I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 with a Wacom Intous 4 tablet and pen.    I noticed this behavior right after a forced reboot from a Microsoft update yesterday.  I was editing a pic when it rebooted.  
    Now, the behavior only manifests itself within Photoshop Elements when I use tools that use reference points such as the clone tool or healing brush.  It's a trailing dot that seems to echo the reference point; which eventually catches up to place itself right under the tip as I make a stroke.   I can't really see what I'm doing, so I end up making a big mess of things on my pics.  This also occurs using my logitech mouse...   Check the mouse settings as well, and it not using any trail options.
    Called Wacom and they had me uncheck "use microsoft ink" from within the Wacom properties.  They identified the problem as the "ripple effect."     I've disabled the "press and hold" feature the "pen and touch" options in windows,  disable the Tablet PC Input service, and made edits to "TurnOffPenFeedback"  in, both, the local machine and local user in order to disable it.  So far, nothing has worked.   If it makes a difference, I noticed that every time I edit the local user registry entry, it enables itself after each reboot.   Haven't fingered the cause of this yet.     Please let me know if you have any other ideas.  Thanks!

  • Spot healing brush tool luminosity not working as expected?

    I have a question about the content aware spot healing brush tool:
    The normal and replace mode work just fine as expected... the color mode does indeed a fine job fixing the color cast of i.e. small green or purple lens flares, by picking up the surrounding color.
    The next mode after color, called luminosity, should work in the same fashion: it should pick up the surrounding brightness (luminosity), and adjust the relative brightness of the area to be patched (i.e. reduce the brightness of a small lens flare, and preserve the texture underneath).
    Instead, luminosity doesn't work much different than the normal mode, it creates a new texture (based on content aware or surrounding area), and thereby destroying the original texture, instead of just fixing the local brightness.
    My question for Adobe: is this behavior intentional? or was the luminosity mode "overlooked" by accident?

    Here are some examples of how the brush is working in a real world example:
    As I have mentioned, normal, replace, and color work exactly as expected. color in LAB mode works even better than in RBG mode.
    what is not working as (at least by me expected) is luminosity mode (even if the color mode brush is used first). I thought/had hoped for that the luminosity mode would work some magic without creating new textures (the color mode is only very very lightly adding a new texture).
    I just wanted to hear what the logic behind this mode is... (and possibly find a 1-2 click tool to fix those lens flares.)

  • Clone or Healing Brush Tool Creates Ghost Layer or Image - Unusable

    I am using the latest version of Photoshop CS5.5 on a fully updated MacBook Pro.
    I am having issues with the following tools:
    Clone Stamp Tool,
    Healing Brush Tool,
    More details:
    Essentially it "appears" that Photoshop is duplicating the layer and the layers appears to be dragged whenever the cursor is moved. I do not need to be holding down the mouse button for the layer to follow the cursor.
    If I click outside of these tools then photoshop functions as normal, and this extra layer-effect disappears. Clicking back to those tools however causes it to reoccur.
    From testing, when first selecting these tools (on program startup) nothing occurs. It's only when I select the target area (option+click) to use the tools does this problem begin.
    I have checked, and no layer is duplicated. It is also a single image (so not a copy on top of the original).
    I have been using Photoshop for a few years now and familiar with it's interface and functioning. Initially it was working fine on this laptop, however in the last few months this problem has begun and persisted. On other computers it is functioning fine. A complete uninstall and reinstall of Adobe on the laptop has made no change either.
    Please can someone help? Thanks in advance for any assistance or guidance you can provide.

    I am not saying that this will absolutely sort your problem but it is a good place to start.
    Try resetting your Photoshop Preferences. Check out this post for instructions.

  • Help! Photoshop CS6 hangs when using brush, clone, healing brush tools etc on Mac

    I am having a big problem when using the new CS6 on my Mac (os x 10.7.4). When switching to a new tool, like a brush, or clone stamp, or healing brush etc, Photoshop hangs for about 20 seconds before resuming. It's not 3rd party plug-ins, because I get the same behaviour when I run using the shift key and third party plug-ins are disabled. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens frequently. I've heard that others have had similar problems... are there any solutions - is it a known bug?

  • Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing

    Healing brush/Clone stamp tool and others very slow processing. System resources monitor shows only 700MB (of 5GB allocated to Photoshop) RAM and 30% CPU is used to perform such tasks as healing brush. Process bar comes up and is painfully slow to complete the task. I don’t understand why does Photoshop not use all the resources available/allocated? No other programs are running at the time, I have tried all the suggestions on this forum and all over the Google. My brand new system is: Intel I7 4770K overclocked to 4.3GHz, 8GB 1600 RAM, Samsung PRO 120GB SSD system drive, 100GB scratch disk. The photos I usually work on don’t exceed 20MB in size. Any suggestion would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Thanks for the answer.
    I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
    I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
    Thanks again.

  • Could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error!

    Hi All. I have been trying out the Photoshop CC trial and all is well but all of a sudden I have been getting the "could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error" message when I'm using the healing brush rapidly! I'm sending the tiff file from Capture One Pro 8 as a Tiff file so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
    Many Thanks

    Hi it does not crash but I looked in the Photoshop Crashes folder anyway and it was empty! The message flags up and then press OK to remove it.

  • Spot Healing Brush Help

    Has someone begun a list of how to get the most out of the Spot Healing Brush? I'm using it in Photoshop CC to repair old photos. It tends to work about half the time the way I would want it to. Frequently, I have to back out "fixes" and either try again from a different direction or switch to the clone stamp tool.
    So, how does one get the most out of the Spot Healing Brush?
    Thanks,
    Drew

    The spot healing brush is a great to remove dust, spots, hairs and all sorts fo small artifacts form a background. You want to read the help to becoem familair with the options. Dpending on your image adn brush size either content aware or proximaity mathc you watn to switch between.
    If you have a burlap texture, or a striped dress shirt, that can be hard for a tool like this, as each strand needs to match up.
