Clone Stamp replaced by Pattern Stamp?

I am using the student version of CS4 for Mac.
My Clone Stamp is no longer there and is replaced by the pattern stamp instead. I feel like I should be able to turn it back into the clone stamp tool, but have no idea how it even happend. Please help!

Click down and hold on the pattern stamp tool to reveal the second tool, or clone stamp. Alternatively, press shift-s to switch the tool.

PS CC Clone Stamp moving whole image?

I have a problem that I hope someone may be able to help me with. When I use the clone stamp I 'Alt-Click' to select a point to clone from. When I try to actually do the cloning the whole image moves on top of the original image. I knew it would be hard to explain so a make a screen capture video of it to explain   Photoshop Problem - YouTube
If anyone knows a cure for this I would greatly appreciate the help. This seemed to start after the last update of CC.
Here is some info about my system. Sorry if I'm not brief.

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?

Clone Stamp & Healing Brush and alignment

I have PSE9. I am having excellent success in removing collars from the dog pictures I am working on when using the Clone Stamp and Healing Brush tools in combination. The book I am learning from says if I want to select pixels from a single source to deselect the align option. However whether I have the align option selected or not, I am getting the corresponding crosshair sampling pixels as the tools are brushed on the image. I know I can do even better if I can maintain a single sampling source. How do I select and maintain a single sampling source for these two tools? Thanks, Jim.

Thank you for your response, but forgive me for asking for clarity. I will be removing alot of dog collars. The collar is red and is surrounded by white and black fur. Just to make sure I understand, as I use the two tools, even with the Aligned option deselected, I will need to keep identifying source pixels multiple times as I brush out the collar. There is absolutely no way ((I tried the single click) to select one source and brush wherever I like on the photo and remove the replace the pixels with the one source. Thank you for your patience, Jim.

A problem using clone stamp tool

Hi guys,
I use After Effects CC last version on a pc under windows 7 ultimate..
This problem must be simple to solve but I just don't see how.
I have an aerial view of the Vesuvio. The volcano makes a 10 to 15° circular motion due to the helicopter moving.
I need to eliminate the actual houses and other trails on the border of the crater to have my volcano as it was 2000 years ago when it erupted and destroyed Pompeii.
I succeeded to do that with the clone stamp tool without a problem and it takes of course into account all the different shades of earth on the cliffs of the volcano.
But when I preview the shot, while the volcano moves, I can see the stamped touches of paint moving as if floating above the volcano. The older surface is not visible as I wanted but the new one does't follow the movement. I'm sure I forgot to do something but what? Should I do the clone stamp in conjunction with motion tracker, if so how? I tried once but got the same problem.
Thanks in advance
Claude

OK, I see a bunch of painting on the nearest slope of the volcano that does not track with the shot. Your biggest problem is workflow using the clone stamp. You are just not using it properly. If it were me, the first think I would do is to use the After Effects tracker to stabilize this part of the volcano so that it didn't move in the frame.
Now you only have perspective issues to deal with.
Next I would duplicate the stabilized layer, pre-compose the duplicate moving all attributes to the new composition, name the preComp - clone or paint pre-comp, then open the pre-comp in the layer panel and use the clone stamp to repair the parts of the image you want to repair. You can then add other trackers for the parts of the image you want to clone or use a time offset to make your painted layer match the mountain.
I probably would do something completely different. I'd export the middle frame of this move as a Photoshop file, then go in and paint the mountain the way I wanted it to look. I'd mask the background in photoshop so I only see the sides and face of the volcano. Then I'd bring my painted mountain back into AE and animate distortion, scale and rotation so the painted layer matches the original perspective on the shot as close as possible. When that is done I'd go back to my main comp, add a null, tie the null's position to the anchor point of the stabilized footage, then parent the original copy of the footage and the painted copy to the null to put the camera movement back in the scene.
Here's a tutorial on how to apply tracking data to a clone stamp in AE:
Removing an Object with Clone Stamp - After Effects Tutorial
I am pretty convinced that you added the smoke... Use the same procedure to get the smoke to look right. It's also floating in an unnatural manner. You could also replace the far background with a matte painting of the city using the same mask, duplicate, paint in Photoshop, then distort and remove the stabilization.

When using the eraser tool, it will work if the mode is set to "block" but if mode is set to "brush" or "pencil" it will not work.
Also, clone stamp doesn't work at all. I have tried myriad mode settings, brush settings sample settings. After alt/clicking to obtain the sample, I move the tool over the area I wish to "replace" with the cloned selection. Before I click, I can see a small sample of the cloned area where the bush is positioned. However, once I click it goes away and nothing happens! It is recorded as a step in the history panel, but no changes are made to the image.
I must admit that I am stumped. Thanks in advance for anyone's insight.

Susan,
Have you checked for an updated driver from Wacom? Around the release of new versions of PS, they usually have some new ones, that better utilize the features (the REAL ones) in PS.
Also, you should have complete access to your Wacom controls (Control Panel>Wacom) and I'd check to see that nothing has been changed, or reconfigured.
I do not have CS4, but there also might be tablet controls in Preferences?
Last, though you have checked your Brush settings, you might want to look at everything there very closely. I had a similar sounding issue when one aspect of Brush Dynamics was reset. Unfortunately, that was so very long ago, and I do not recall the exact setting that messed things up.
Good luck,
Hunt

Object removal in moving video (use Clone Stamp or Roto Brush?)

Hello,
I've been having a really difficult time trying to remove objects from moving clips. I'm attempting to remove the head off of the right most statue, but cannot find an effective way to do this... When I use the clone stamp, it tracks, but I cannot get it to blend in realistically, seeing as the color of the sky changes as the clip pans right. I also tried using a cut out image of the sky and tracked that, but that failed to blend as well...
If anyone has any suggestions for this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I have this same issue with a couple other clips as well.
Thanks,
G

So I downloaded your video and took a look. To replace the head on the second figure from the left I simply moved to frame 250, duplicated the footage layer, used the clone stamp to replace the head with sky giving plenty of padding, set Paint to paint on all frames and then extended the paint strokes to the entire timeline. I also applied Layer>Time>Freeze Frame to the clip. Then I pre-composed the top copy so that I could use a mask to precisely cut out around the collar. I then added a Motion Track null to the comp and gave a quick motion track to the footage picking a couple of points on the second figure from the left that were below the collar. I ran a motion track, applied the motion track to the null, then parented the pre-comp to the null so that it would follow the camera move.
Took about 10 minutes. Here's a CS6 project file that uses your footage. You'll have to replace the footage in your comp and then it should work.
You could use the PSD that you created instead of all the painting and pre-comping. IOW, if you replace the pre-comp with the PSD you made at the proper frame then drew your mask and parented the PSD to the Null everything should work just fine.

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.

Clone stamp disappeared from Ps CC. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Hi Everyone, I have PS CC on an iMac and when I started with CC, the clone stamp and pattern stamp shared a spot and they both worked. However, now the clone stamp has disappeared and I only have the pattern stamp. The other day it showed back up but now it is gone again. Does anyone know what to do about this?

Don't just click on the Tool location, CLICK AND HOLD.

Clone stamp "preview" does not work

Dear Community, I have a problem with clone stamp on my Pshop.
I read the forum to find some help, found some threads but without good results.
I use PShop CS5 + Bridge on a Mac “All in one”, all options works fine.
Some time ago I changed some option (don’t remember which) to try new way of using the clone stamp.
That is ok, but after that the “preview” of the clone stamp does not appear, as I was moved the the previous version of PS.
Some details:
I activate the clone stamp
set dimension, etc.
I see the pointer, ok
Move the pointer to the source and click
Then simply move the pointer to the target area
Before the problem without pressing any key I saw the “preview” of the effect. Now, I see the correct effect but only AFTER having clicked the mouse
Reading previous thread, I reset the tool options, then reset all tools option, then checked the dimension of the pointer (in the general option section).
Nothing changed.
I read that reinstall PShop is useless, since reinstall does not remove corrupted files if any (but which file?).
Since every other feature is working properly, it looks like a strange setting I set without being aware of that …
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (like Options Bar, Layers and Clone Source Panel) 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.)?

Clone stamp error in Photoshop CS 4

Just happened. Error: "can't use clone stamp because of program error" The pattern stamp still works out ouf that tool slot. Tried rebooting with no luck.
Any suggestions? Many thanks

Try resetting your complete 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.

Is it possible to perform Clone Stamping on two layers simultaneously?

Hi,
I have two layers, one is a colour stone texture, another is a black and white heightmap of the same image.
I want to repair a few areas, but it's essential that the two layers stay in sync, i.e. whatever cloning is done to the colour layer must be the same on the heightmap layer.
Neither layer contains any transparency.
If not is there any other way I can achieve the same end result?
Thanks
Steve

I don’t think this is easily achieved as Clone Stamping does not record as an Action.
One rather clumsy work-around would be to work with Smart Objects –
• convert one Layer to a SO
• copy, move and mask that to cover a blemish
• repeat as necessary
Then
• duplicate the file and
• replace the SO’s content with the other Layer and update
This would be reasonable only with a very small number of corrections and/or smallish files, though.

Faulty clone stamp

using CS5 12.0.4 x32, the clone stamp function has slowly failed. At first only the central third of the pixels were replace. now maybe 5% of the pixels are replaced. Painting with a grey bursh barely lays down any pixels. I thought a reinstall of app might help. Do I delete CS5 or install over the present installation?

Please post in the Photoshop forum. This forum is for suite specific issues only.

Clone stamp problems

For some reason I can no longer use the Clone stamp option correctly. The Mode option allows me to choose only from Dissolve or Behind, but I cannot set "Normal" mode, it does not even appear on the list. If I try to clone, the stamp pixelates and destroys the part of the image I am trying to clone. If I select the Pattern stamp, then "Normal" does appear.
Elements 10, Windows XP
I would appreciate your help.

Sounds like the scroll bar is missing.
Do you see the other blend modes below Behind such as Darken, Multiply etc?
Three ways you can get Normal mode:
1. use the arrow keys on the numeric keypad to sroll thriough the blend modes
2. press an hold were it says dissolve and move the mouse up. That should reveal the Normal mode.
3. press Shift+Alt+N to get the normal mode.
I had that problem on xp with photoshop elements 7 and here's what fixed it, bringing back the scroll bar:
(it says for the type tool, but it should work for the brush mode list as well)

Clone stamp tool disables keyboard

I'm working on an iMac, OSX (10.7.4) with CS5.1. Ever since I uploaded my new Photoshop program months ago, it disables the alphanumeric keys on my key pad when I use the clone stamp tool. I have to restart my computer in order for my keyboard to work again.
I have talked to Adobe service multiple times, had the software replaced, had a service agent work with my machine from a distance, discussed the problem with Apple (they say it's an Adobe issue), paid a professional to resolve it, reinstalled the software multiple times and ways, worked in safe mode, worked as another user, but the problem persists.
I am a full-time graphic designer with my own business and usually have Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop all open at the same time, so when I have to restart it is a major problem that I encounter multiple times during my work day.
Is there anyone that can help? I wish I had never purchased the upgrade and now fear CS6. What can I do?

The application can't disable the keyboard for other apps, or after the app has exited.
That can only happen at an OS level.
Also, I just tried using the clone stamp too, and my number key pad is still working just fine.
You probably need to talk to Apple again and ask what inside the OS could do that, even if it is triggered by an application (but it sounds like an OS or driver level bug).

Clone Stamp replaced by Pattern Stamp?
