  • "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...

  • PSE* onVista- after install clone stamp tool fails

    A couple of uses after installing, the clone stamp tool bring up a message box COULD NOT USE THE CLONE STAMP TOOL BECAUSE OF A PROGRAM ERROR. Exactly the same error as occured with Version 6!    I uninstalled V6, cleared directory entries etc and did fresh install, still the same problem. Now I go to use latest version  in Version 8 and the same old. Any helpful suggestions? Thanks

    Hi, Can you please tell which file and format you are working upon, Because as per my knowledge goes, this does not happen and it works very well for all my images.

  • I am currently using iplanet 4.1 on a solaris box.  This is my first time using Iplant so this question my sound trivial but I am not sure how to figure it out.

    Hi,
    U did not mention in which version of Solaris u r installing IWS 4.1
    Try these steps:
    (1)Have u chosen the option to install jdk with IWS setup or u manually added the classpath after installation?
    (2)Make sure you have the latest operating system patches installed. You can download them from Sun's web site.
    (3)It may also be that the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't set. It should probably be set to "/usr/lib:/usr/ucblib". Make sure it is set correctly, and try the installation again.
    then try to start the server again

  • This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

    I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
    NOTE:  If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

  • Is a Premiere CS5.5 download available? I seem to always get redirected to the newest version, which is not supported by my OS. This is for first-time use, not replacement download of an already-purchased product.

    OS is Windows Vista Home Premium. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    CS5 is not for sale any longer if you are looking to purchase it, at least not thru Adobe.
    CS6 is still being sold.  I run CS6 on a Vista system without any issues.  You might try downloading the trial version and see if it works for you.
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Photoshop Elements 8.  "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error."  Please help.

    Try this:
    Open your picture file
    Access the clone stamp tool
    Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
    TIPS:
    It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
    Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
    Let us know  how you make out with the error message now.

  • After Effects problem with clone stamp tool

    Hi,
    I've been using clone stamp tool in Photoshop for years and has no problem with it. But somehow I could never get it work on After Effects. After alt+click to select source I can then click (and hold left mouse button), rub and change the target area as expected but as soon as I let go the mouse button the target area reverts back to original.
    What did I do wrong?
    thanks.

    First question that I have for you is did you look in the help files?. Simply type clone stamp in the search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the application frame it you will find all kinds of information. There are a few good tutorials linked directly from the help file. After Effects Help | Paint tools: Brush, Clone Stamp, and Eraser
    Because After Effects works with video you have to make sure you have the correct options for your clone stamp or your paint tool selected and you are working in the correct window. It is not so much that the clone stamp is not working, it is just that you probably do not have it set up correctly.

  • Clone Stamp Tool does not work

    This is a re-post of an old problem. Using PS CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 in Win XP SP3.
    The clone stamp tool does not alter my image. After selecting source region, cursor hovers over the target region and the preview looks like what one would expect. After clicking, however, the desired change does not occur.
    Uninstalled PS and reinstalled. Clone stamp worked for a while, then quit working again.
    Image seems to be OK, in that I can open it on my Laptop with CS3 on Win Vista, do my cloning, save and all works fine.
    Any ideas appreciated. I may uninstall and reinstall again, but if I do, would like some ideas of what I should monitor as I go through my work process.

    The second method worked. Many thanks.
    To avoid this happening again, would appreciate any idea on what to look for in my Preferences.
    Glad it fixed it.
    When the preferences get corrupted it is not due to a wrong setting. One of the files has been damagrd. This is a known problem with computers not just Photoshop.
    It can be caused by incorrect shut-downs, hard drive faults, or a dozen other reasons. Deleting the preferences just lets Photoshop generate a fresh set at factory default.
    Make sure you check through to get your personal settings back and then save a copy.

  • Clone Stamp Tool not cloning transparency correctly

    My clone stamp tool is not cloning transparency correctly.
    I have looked at all opacity, flow, and blending setings.
    Basically, what I remember from before this problem started,  is that cloning a transparent edge, or an area with some degree of transparency, and the transparency information would transfer pixel for pixel.
    Now it appears that the color cloning is working correctly but the transparency information is cloning as additive.
    For example, if I have a solid color square with no transparency, surrounded by tranparent area and I clone from the square into the tranparent area, it clones corectly. If I try to clone FROM the tranparent area, into the square, nothing happens. The zero opacity (transparent) information is added to the 100% opacity square and the result is no change. I would expect to create a brush shaped line of 100% transparency since my cloning stamp is set to 100% opacity.
    If there is an area that is50% transparent. (Like if it had been erased at 50% opacity), then when I clone one part of the 50% transparent area onto another, instead of staying the same the tranparency goes to 100%.
    I am trying to use the cloning stamp tool to modify a .png logo that contains many areas of varying transparency, and so this problem is making the editing slow going if not impossible.
    I do not know how to fix this or if I inadvertantly checked/engaged some sort of setting.
    Any help is appreciated.

    You may be correct. I tried it on an older version of Photoshop with the same effect.
    I am not sure why I thought transparency would clone rather than add the transparency.
    I think it would be more effective if you could clone the transparency though, or at least choose. For example, what if I I want to clone an area with less than 100% opacity on to another area with 100% opacity, or if I want to clone an uneven edge that is opaque on one side and transparent on the other, and I want to move it into the opaque area a little further.
    It seems I have done this many times, but I may just be tired and not remembering correctly.
    At any rate, thanks for the quick reply.

  • Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

    adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle  to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

    I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
    1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
    2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
    3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
    4. Click ok.
    Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
    P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

  • Clone Stamp & Paintbrush cursor not displaying on image

    Hey there,
    When attempting to edit a photo (on PS CS3), the cursor for the paintbrush and clone stamp tools does not display on the image - it'll come up when the mouse isn't directly over it (ie around the borders, & workspace etc, but not on the image itself).
    All other tools the cursor will display (eg marque and crop etc).
    Is anyone able to offer any help on the subject?
    Thanks very much.

    If you are using a Wacom, keep the pen well away from the tablet when using the mouse and vice versa.
    Try unplugging the Wacom – if the problem disappears, update the drivers.
    Or
    Try resetting the tools from the little drop-down menu in the Options Bar.
    If all else fails, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Clone Stamp Tool and Healing Brush not working - why?

    As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.
    When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined".   Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
    Background:
    Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).
    I have run out of ideas as to what the problem could be, so I am requesting assistance from the forum community. Thank you very kindly in advance for replies.

    Do you mean photoshop elements 7 and not premiere elements?
    The fix posted above only applies to linux os systems, which is
    different from mac and windows.
    On windows vista Alt+left click is to set the clone source.
    Try the following steps one at a time.
    1. reset the clone stamp tool by clicking triangle on the far left of the
       tool options bar and select reset tool.
    2. Go to Edit>Preset Manager and click Done in the dialog that appears.
    3. Reset the elements 7 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys
        at the same time you start elements 7. In the dialog that appears, click yes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Clone Stamp Tool in CS6 Will Not Work on Tiff Files

    All of a sudden the Clone Stamp Tool does not work when working on a tif file. Yes I get the Circle with + sign when I press the ALT Key but tool will not clone.

    Hi Trevor!
    I found out that it affects all file extensions.  Files were created after adjustments in Bridge. Layer is not locked. Opacity is at 46. Now as I reviewed your answer, I was looking at a FAQ about the same thing. Truthfully I did not know that you could reset tools.
    I found out how to reset the CSTool and voila!!! Now works fine.
    Thanks for the advice...

  • Photos fail to print after editing with clone stamp tool and layers

    After editing using the clone stamp tool and using layers the photos fail to print.  I even tried a simple crop edit and the photo failed to print.
    Photos print without editing.

    Im working on a Mac OX 10.9.4 and Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac
    I tried printing from Organizer and editor and I have the image saved on my desktop
    I don't receive an error when I try to print. The message usually reads: Printing, 2% complete or 13% complete.
    I have left it sit overnight but it never produced a photo.
    The printer is new: HP Envy 5400 and I have no problem printing photos from I Photo.
