Clone tool problem - the tool is darkening the source pixels
Hello There,
I am clone stamping an rgb image at 2048 x 1152 pixels from an area or similar but clearly lighter texture. When I sample to source point and move to a darker area and apply the texture it comes out much darker than the source pixels. The clone is set to normal at 100% opacity and flow.
I worl with photoshop almost eceryday and I have saved the file out and given it another designer and the problem does not occur. So it must be a settings problem with my computer. I have re-booted the computer and copied the layer into a new file!
Very confusing but crippling me as I need to get a lot of retouching done.
Any help will be gratefully received
John
Before reinstalling trashing the prefs should also be attempted, though.
Anyway, I can’t identify a likely cause (apart from Mark’s suspicion), either.
But I’d like to digress a bit: The number of layers (that in the Layers Panel appear quite similar) in the file seems curious to me.
Personally I like to Clone Stamp on an otherwise empty layer with the tool set to Current and Below to avoid unnecessary file-size-bloat etc.
And in case those layers represent various sharpening- (or applications other filters) steps you might be better off using Smart Filters … note the »might«, though.

How to highlight by darkening the rest of the screen
I viewed a Captivate animation that highlighted an area of
the screen by darkening the whole screen except for the highlighted
part. I can't find anything in Captivate to do this, so I'm
thinking the developer copied the background into a graphics
program and modified it. Does anyone know any more about it?Insert a highlight box and select the "Fill outer area" check
box.
You may need to "Send to Back" on the highlight box if you
have other objects on the screen that you DON'T want
darkened. -
I'm having trouble with my clone tool. When I am cloning it appears OK (the image within the brush circles is the correct colours) however once the cloning is done, it processes leaving me with a darkened blur. Any help with what's going on would be appreciated.
Which tool in Camera Raw, exactly? The Spot Removal Tool? Adjustment Brush?

I scanned an image and want to use the image trace tool, but it doesn't pick up all the lines. Is there a way to darken the lines before using the image trace tool? Help!
If the scan is in B&W, then play with the Threshold setting here
If it's in Color, then you will have to open the scan in a Raster editing software (like Photoshop) and play with the Brightness/Contrast settings to make the lines bolder. -

My husband uses adobe cs5. The clone tool isn't working and after resetting the tools adobe bridge now goes to picasa. How can we make the clone tool work and have bridge go to cs5 not picasa?
A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

The background music I chose was a standard Apple Loop, but on playback it sounds like someone has cut the music, each time the Loop connects to the extended loops I made when I dragged the end of the initial loop out over a short distance? Did I do it wrong?
When you extend the loop by dragging the the end of the loop (you'll see a bracket as cursor), you will extend the loop by silence and hear a sharp cut. To make the loop longer, loop it. Grab it in a way, that you'll see a curved arrow as pointer and not the bracket. -
Problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool
Hello. I got a problem with InDesign CC redrawing the screen too slow while using Zoom tool. Sometimes it takes more than a secong to zoom in or out. However InDesign CS6, Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC works just fine. What could be the problem, videocard or something else? Below is my PC configuration: OS Windows 8 Pro (x64); processor Intel Core i7 2600k CPU 3,40GHz; video adapter NVIDIA GeForse GTS 450; monitor NEC PA271W (2560x1440).
Yes it’s a bug. The trick is to select the tool and then left click the photo information strip and hold for a few seconds until you see the windows bar at the top of the screen (not responding)
The lasso tool should then work normally. -

Captivate 4, interaction SWF using XML and the Reviewer tool Problem
Hello everyone!
I am an advanced AS3er and am only months old working with Captivate 4. I've found some cool ways to use Captivate and incorporating swfs that use CSS and XML for their dynamic content builder and interactivity as well. However, I've run into a problem:
The Reviewer tool will NOT display my swf interactions that use XML, however when published as a course, I can see them perfectly fine (once I move over my css and xml folders after publishing)
Has anyone found a work around for this problem?
Thanks in advance!Hi,
Not sure if you want to control the audio used in Captivate of if you want to control you own audio form files loaded externally. If you try to control the audio associated with captivate, believe me it will be a mess. I tried it once and hit so many hurdles that I gave up. The Captivate framework is not meant at all for extending and adding functionality. I had to to create proxy classes that allowed me to gain access to internal variable but even then my control over audio streams was incomplete. Captivate completely lacks an eventing framework!
On an other subject, can you tell me how you got the swf to use the CSS and XML files? Do you have to manually copy them to a folder? Which folder?
Thanks,

Problems moving an object with the selection tool
Im working on CS2 and since last week I have a problem moving objects with the selection tool: To move the object I am obligate to select the object first, and then click at the edge/stroke of the object to drag it. Before that I could move the objects just by selecting somewhere in the object and then just drag it to some other place in one step. I think I maybe changed something in the general preferences....
Ho thanks a lot Kurt!!!!! Indeed, that was the problem!!! Finally I can work normally again.... (the joker was me...but not on purpose)
Thanks again! -
Problem deploying web service with the deploy tool (J2EE)
Hello,
I am trying to deploy a sample Web Service on the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1 2005Q1.
I run into a deployment problem ("jaxrpc compilation exception") when I have one of the web methods declared (in the endpoint interface) to throw a service-specific exception. The problem disappears when I change the declaration to throw an Exception.
Here is the exception class:
public class StockNotFoundException extends Exception {
private String message;
public StockNotFoundException(String message) {
super(message);
this.message = message;
public String getMessage() {
return message;
the endpoint interface:
public interface StockServiceIF extends Remote {
// the service methods
public boolean sellStocks(String ticker, int quantity)
throws RemoteException, StockNotFoundException;
and here are the error messages I am seeing:
in the deploy tool dialog:
distribute: C:\Beginning J2EE 1.4\Ch13\StockServiceApp\StockServiceApp.ear
deployment started : 0%

I recently upgraded our iMac to Yosemite OS and now have a problem with Photoshop Elements 11: the move tool selects an image or text layer, but then I try to drag the selection somewhere else on the page and it snaps back to the original location, however the arrows will move it OK. Also I cannot drag the selection to another photo in the photo bin as before.
