  • Can I add a name/address to a group and exclude that entry from the Address Book itself?

    I would like to creat a group in Contacts with names/address, yet not have them listed in my Address Book.
    I would rather not co-mingle the contacts in this new group with my regular contacts. I would like to keep them seperate.
    How can I do this?

    I don't know for sure but a work around may be put the contacts you don't want to see in a separate grow and call it "Hidden"or whatever you want. Then have a another group (maybe call it "Common") for all the other contacts that you want to see.
    If you don't use the "all contacts" view and just choose the "Common" group I don't think you will see the "hidden".
    This may solve the problem as long as you don't really want to HIDE them, you just don't want to see them.

  • Program error when trying to use the clone stamp tool - PSE 8

    When trying to use the CLONE STAMP TOOL, getting the following:  "Could not use the clone stamp tool because of a program error".
    Runnng PSE 8 on Windows XP/SP3.  I purchased the key to have a full version, versus the 'trial version'.  I also have Photo Essentials 3 installed and have used it without any problems.
    Any suggestions?

    I figured it out - it was ID 10 T error...ugh.
    Was following along in a book and blindly did what it said....was forgetting to hit the 'alt' key when first defining the area to clone....
    However, it was kind of a confusing error message - something like "clone area not defined" would be more of a help.
    thanks.

  • When using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key layer just moves

    when using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key to set a point it seem to create a new layer and just moves the layer arround. I can not get the clone to now work. what did I do?

    Open the Clone Source panel. I think you'll find the Clipped option is disabled. If so, enable it.

  • "Could not use the clone stamp tool because of a program error". How to fix this fault?

    When I try to use the Clone Stamp Tool I am met with the message shown above. I have tried in all the ways I could find to beat this: different photos, switched the computer off and on again, run a de-bugging program through it (Advanced System Care 5 Pro) and Microsoft's own stuff. The problem exists solidly and, without one of its most important picture repair tools Photoshop is pretty much useless.
    I have just set this new Photoshop Elements 10 program up on my Windows 7 (64) laptop. I have plenty of memory and a large enough hard drive; the machine is fairly new, stable and does not usually suffer from programming problems. I have found nothing on any of the Adobe Forums, or in other sites, to give me a hint as to what has caused the problem other than a bad program disk. My first conclusion was that I should reinstall the program, but it appears that I will then lose one of my two registration rights, that strikes me as being ridiculous as reinstallation is surely the most logical thing to do with a potentially faulty program disk! But I would have to uninstall to reinstall, and that's when the the second registration cuts in I am advised. I have tried every way I can think of to beat this to no avail. I'll be truly grateful if someone can help me out on this. Thank you!

    Thanks guys! I'm afraid that I'm still not sure: I've been told that uninstalling - after of course deactivating - amounts to a life gone... Yet according to the set of licence rules Adobe has, you're allowed to copy programs in a mirror image which, of course, would be used for a clean wipe - and surely that contradicts their set of rules? The rules seem to imply that that would be okay: no life lost. My concern is that through no fault of my own I have what appears to be a duff program; it's out of warranty now (my fault - I didn't install it until I could buy a more heavy-duty laptop). If the rule is "two-strikes-and-your-out, then I lose my last reactivation after THIS installation. I will get in touch with Adobe - but I live in the UK, and therein lies the problem: the equivalent of $39 dollars for the chat and whatever else it might cost is off-putting to me I'm afraid. If I could find out whether or not Adobe has a patch or something I would be a lot more happy about it all - the reinstallation after all may NOT cure the problem and I'd be stuck with a bunch of coffee cup coasters! Hey, ho...

  • Problem using the clone stamp tool in cs6 64 bit

    I am trying to use the clone stamp tool, however each time I alt click  on a PC runing system 7- 64 bit and try to clone an area, I get a window stating that I have not defined an area. Alt clicking again does not solve the problem. I work in a computer lab and this option works fine on our Macs using option click in PS CS6.

    If »Show Overlay« is checked in the Clone Source Panel is the cursor showing the source imagery?
    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

    Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
    And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
    I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
    It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
    Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
    Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
    Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
    Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
    It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
    You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
    Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • In Photoshop 2014 how do you use the clone stamp tool and keep the image panel from moving

    I don't quite know how to use the clone stamp tool in the Photoshop 2014 version.  When I click on the clone stamp it creates a duplicate of the image and it moves around and I can not apply the clone stamp to the area I want to correct.  How do you lock it down to keep it from moving?

    Hi Smoothery4501,
    The Photoshop clone stamp tool allows you to copy one area of an image and copy it onto another area.
    Click on the clone stamp tool then press the alt key on the keyboard and click on the image to define a source point.
    Please refer to below blog for further info

  • Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined

    Freshly installed Elements 10.  Can not use the option-mouse click to define an area for the clone stamp.  The error I get is:
    Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point).
    New Mac Mini.  Had the same problems in Elements 9 so I installed the 10 trial.  Is this a key binding error?  Did not have this issue with Elements 9 on my Mac Air or my Windows 7 system. 
    I'm not a newbie and know how to use the clone tool.  I won't say I'm an expert so if it's something related to layers please throw out some ideas.

    This problem came back up.  I hadn't used PSE since last November and was frustrated to run into it again.  I don't think it's a layers issue afterall.
    I use a wireless keyboard and mouse on Mini and mouse on Air, although keyboard for Air is upstairs at a desk with monitor for occasional use.  Regardless blue tooth is on for these devices.  Problem exists.  Turn bluetooth off on Air and the problem is gone.  It must be related to option key when bluetooth is on, I guess some different mapping.  Even when I have bluetooth on and try to use Option key on the Air keyboard it does not work.
    So now where do I look for configs to check?

    Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point). this is what shows up in the command box when ever I click to start to pick the spot i want to use as the clone. makes my cloning tool useless. can any one help? I have reset the tools restrted my computer. i am at a loss...

    Are you working with more than one layer?  If you are working with multiple layers it makes a difference when selecting source spot and then trying to clone to a different layer.  I find that I have to be sure I am selecting the corresponding layers for source and then for application when working within multiple layers.
    At least for me this is the case when getting that type of message.  I am very new to this program though, so maybe someone else has a more concise answer for you.
    Good luck and write again if this doesn't help.

  • Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp - Acrobat X

    My issue is pretty much what the title says. Clicking the Stamp tool doesn't select the most recently used stamp. According to the Help screens and training videos, it should. I've checked Edit > Prefernces and could not find a setting that adjusted this behavior of the Stamp tool. Does anyone know what can be done to fix this? BTW - It's not just my installation of Acrobat X. Other users at my firm are having the same issue. The OS is Windows 7. Users have administrator rights. Thanks in advance.

    Hello Abhilasha,
    So, what your saying is that this function, the ability to select the most recently used stamp by clicking the stamp tool, has been removed, in spite of the fact that Acrobat's Help pages says it can be done (Using Acrobat X Standard > Collaboration > Commenting > Apply a Stamp > Step 1 > Second bullet). I wish they would put it back. It was quite handy.
    Perhaps I should adjust my request. Do you (or anyone else) know of a way to use the same stamp several times in a row without having to choose the stamp from the stamps list? For example, if you needed to put a check-mark stamp in several places in a document, it would be a pain to have to go back to the list each time. Is there perhaps an undocumented feature (maybe holding down a particular key while using the stamp) that would allow for multiple stamping?
    Thank you,
    Phillip

  • Pattern stamp tool scaling!

    Hi there!
    Here is a feature I have been missing in photoshop. I noticed you are now able to scale your clone source in photoshop CS4, which is excellent. I would love to be able to do the same thing for the pattern stamp tool!
    I use the pattern stamp tool a lot for texturing, since it is quite handy to have a bunch of base textures readily available like that. I work in the games/3D industry and use photoshop a lot for texturing. Currently you can only stamp the pattern at a fixed size, so I have had to create differently scaled versions of each texture I use for the stamp tool. Having the ability to to scale the pattern would be awesome.
    Best regards
    Markus Schille

    Yeah, its helpful. A nice tip anyways. But it would be even better with the pattern stamp tool, because then you could mix different patterns, so its more like painting freestyle. Also in some cases I like using the non aligned version, to get a more randomized result, otherwise you get ugly repeating patterns.
    An additional feature I would like is rotation /angle. If you ever have tried Maxxons bodypaint 3D you will know what I'm talking about.

    I can tell you that this is some of the absolutely worst customer service I have ever dealt with. I found out from a store employee that when they are really busy with calls, they have third party companies taking overflow calls. One of those companies is Xerox. What can a Xerox call center rep possibly be able to authorize on a Verizon account?  I'm Sure there is a ton of misinformation out there due to this. They don't note the accounts properly or so everyone can see them. I have been transferred before and have asked if they work for Verizon or a third party also and was refused an answer so, apparently they aren't required to disclose that information. I spent a long time in the store on my last visit and it's not just customers that get the runaround. It happens to the store employees as well and it's beyond frustrating.
