Clone/Heal not working in LR 4.2 RC

I downloaded the Release Candidate, Lightroom 4.2 and found that the Spot remover is not working either in the Heal or Clone mode.

It works for me and others. What tool-settings are you using for opacity and size and have you pressed H to make sure you can see the circle?

Clone Stamp not working in Elements 5

I have tried the trouble shooting sugestions on page 245 of Photoshop Elements 5, The Missing Manual by Barbara Brundage. However, I have been unable to get my clone stamp to work. Previously the clone stamp was working o.k. Do you have any other suggestions that I might try?
Also, are there some good editing advantages/improvements by upgrading to Elements 7 ?

I held the keys down while starting the editor from the welcome screen and
got the box to delete the preferences. However I have not been able to get
the clone stamp to work. The delete preferences must have worked because my
brushes were changed back to the original setting. I normally use a
different setting to show the brushes as circles. I have been trying to
clone with the Size: 21 ps; Mode: Normal; Opacity: 100% and Aligned checked.
I have tried both checking and unchecking Aligned and Sample All Layers. I
tried a different photo but with the same results. When I Alt click to clone
I get a small circle with something similar to a plus sign in the circle.
The Edit shows an "Undo clone stamp" each time I Alt Click and try to clone
but nothing was cloned.
This is the first time that I've encountered this problem.

Clone stamp not working in CS6

Each time i try to use my actions is says"could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point)" or "unable to do ____". Any advice on how to fix this? Thanks!

Thank you for responding so quickly. I am aware that the actions do not store brush tips. This is occuring after i select my tips and try to use the action. it was working perfectly all day and then when I tried editing a new photo and the message errors started popping up with multiple actions. I am very new to PS and I'm used to working in lightroom, but I know that to improve myself as a photographer I need to start learning more about ps. I'll try to post a screenshot now...my computer started acting funny when ps and lr were running earlier.

Why does the clone tool not work? I just installed elements 9.

I bought photoshop elements through an online vendor and just trying to put it to use. The clone tool does not work at all. I have photoshop elements 5 on my computer, which I kept even after installing version 9. It works.

Try selecting the clone tool and doing a tool reset.

Stamp/clone tool not working

The "align/not aligned" check box disappeared (it was there when first installed) and I cannot find/get it back. When using the stamp tool, it does not clone exactly what I sampled--it clones it lighter and not exactly what I selected.
HOW DO I FIX THIS? I have reinstalled PSCC, but the stamp/clone tool is still not working right. HELP!!!!!!

It looks like you have the Narrow Options bar enabled in the Photoshop>Preferences>Interface,
so the icons are different from what your probably used to.
You actually do have Aligned enabled, but you have the Flow set for 74% and have the Override Opacity
button enabled, which would make a difference if your using a pressure tablet.

Photoshop CC Clone Stamp not working for me

There was another thread about this, several people reported this problem, but so far no response from Adobe. Let's try this again.
The Clone Stamp no longer works right. It's slow and sampling results are all over the place. It will sample from areas I never even ALT clicked on. And it can't keep up with rapid sampling and stamping. As is, Photoshop CC is totally unusable for photo retouching work.
I switched back to CS6, which still works fine, so the problem is NOT on my end.
Running Windows 7 64bit. Photoshop CC 64bit.
Can we get some response from Adobe please ??

I hope I have not missed something and am reinventing the wheel here, but I had a think about how Windows uses the Alt key. People are quite right, that even with the Clone tool selected, using the Alt key initially brings up the Menus (waiting for their 'mostly' first letter short cuts) but Windows releases the Alt key as soon as you left click on the source.
But what other ways does Windows use the Alt key? I think this is something Noel would be the best to answer, but THIS LINK mentions using Alt left mouse to move a window in Ubuntu, for instance. But Ubuntu is not Windows I guess. I am way out of my comfort zone with this stuff!
There is somebody HERE talking about that same Alt click drag facility to resize windows, but this time with Linux, and he is given a link to a tool that impliments the same feature in Windows. What I am saying/asking here, is do any of the people with problems have anything else on their systems that traps an Alt click?
As a little aside, I installed Lazy Nezumi while using my laptop, because it is cheap as chips, and I need all the help I can get when it comes to drawing nice lines in Photoshop. It works great, and does everything it claims, but it also messes up some Photoshop shortcuts. It allows you to reprogram those shortcuts to other keys though, so I shall be doing that when I put it on my main system. You see my point though?

Clone Stamp Not Working Properly

Using Maverick & PS CC..... When I choose the Clone Stamp Tool I place it over the (in this case) color I want to copy, click and paint with it over another color. However, the original source color is not being selected. I also see two cross-hairsafter I cloick on the source color, release the mouse then click and hold over the color I want replaced over with the source color. Hope this makes sense.

Why does clone stamp not work?

When I use Photoshop Elements 9, I get the following error: Could not use clone stamp tool because of a program error. I uninstalled Photoshop Elements and reinstalled it with the same results. This error shows up on both my XP computer and my Windows 7 computer.

Try selecting the clone stamp tool and then do a re-set.

Photoshop CS6 clone tool not working

My son banged on my keyboard while I was in the middle of editing a photo using the clone tool. Now the tool is looks as though it's working when I'm sampling an area but when I go to change the designated area it isn't doing anything. And it's got a bright white spot in the circle. Help please!

The clone tool suddenly stopped working today. I read all the posts and did everything mentioned. I went back to CS5 and it works fine. I did notice in PS CC the clone tool sets the brush in TRANSFER to pen pressure. I can turn that off and lock it, but it will immediately turn it back on when I use the clone tool. It was working fine one second then stopped. It is working VERY lightly even though set to 100%. I discovered this by creating a new document with black and white and cloning there.
What happened?
I did have a CC update just before this happened. I did reset everything, turn everything on and off, turn off the Graphics Processor, turn off every other application, updated the driver for the waccom tablet... all to no avail.
Any solutions? I shall have to go back to CS5. Don't want to. HELP!

CLONE STAMP NOT WORKING ON ELEMENTS 10

I AM GETTING AN ON SCREEN MESSAGE WHEN TRYING TO USE THE CLONE STAMP.
It reads......
'COULD NOT USE THE CLONE STAMP BECAUSE A PROGRAMME ERROR.'
I contacted ADOBE via a live chat. Very nicely thay told me that the DVD was OK but they really had no idea why I had the problem and suggested I contact the forum.
Any ideas please?

First thing to do is to reset the tool. On the clone stamp options bar, click on the little triangle icon, top left. Reset the tool.
If that does not fix it, suggest that you reset preferences to default.

Vector.clone() does not work!

My prog. makes a use of this method several times and hands it in to other methods as an argument but it always returns a refrence to the same Vector instance:
foo1((Vector)processes.clone());
foo2((Vector)processes.clone());
foo3((Vector)processes.clone());
All these methods operate on the same original Vector. What can I do in order to fix it?
Thank You,
Gail,
Israel.

Hi, it's not the returned Vector's instance that is the same, but the references contained in those cloned Vectors that are.
If you have a Vector V1, then add two objects to it, say A and B,
and then you clone the Vector (V1), you'll get an new Vector V2. However, Vector V2 will have references to A and B, since A and B are not cloned by the Vector's clone() method.
One calls that way of cloning shallow copy.
What you probably want is a deep copy, where not only the Vector, but also it's content is cloned.
That's called a deep copy.
Search this forum for "deep copy" to read more about it.

Option key is not working on PS4, mac OS 10.6.8

Hi I'm having a problem with PhotoShop 4, the keyboard shortcut for a couple of tools is not working at all.
1) The Zoom in and out function that uses the Option Key + Shift or Option to change the Zoom in or out is not working.
I'm not sure if it's a conflict with the OS or an operator error of some kind.
2) The Lasso Tool that uses the Option Key for doing a straight line is not working.
3) The Clone Stamp Tool that uses the Option Key for selecting the area you want to clone is not working.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
Thanks - Just Plain Bill -

It only works on 64-bit Macs.

Clone, spot healing tool, content aware will not work on 11 or 12

The following tools will not work on PSE 11 or 12: clone, spot healing, content aware. Using 3 yr old iMac with latest OS. Same problem on Mac Book. I must be something wrong.

I'm not sure what was going on. I eneded up discarding the photo I was working on and open up another one and everything worked. I guess just a little hitch in it's gitty-up!
Thanks for your comments.
