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 trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush.  This just started tonight.  What's causing this weird behaviour?

  • 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?

  • "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...

  • 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 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

    Hello experts, today I wanted to examine some logs using the Log Viewer on Visual Administrator.

    Hello, thanks for your answers. I checked the JVM Heap size, we are using a 64 bit HW, and it was already set to 2048M, as well as both parameters Xms and Xmx. I also checked our virtual memory and directory space, the virtual memory looks fine, and the <SID> directory uses 5 GB of space.
    If you wish, I can write the configuration found on the Config Tool, where you set the JVM Heap size and other parameters.
