Cloning Tool in Elements 9 ?

Hi,
I’m having a problem using the cloning tool in PE9. I select the Clone Stamp Tool, place the cursor over the area I want to copy from and press the Alt key and left click the mouse.
Now my problem starts once I let go the Alt key and try to move the cursor over to the area I want to clone out the whole picture moves with the cursor, it looks like a top layer moving but I’m not working with layers. The cursor remains in the same relative position as where I Alt clicked it.
Obviously I’ve messed up a setting somewhere but for the life of me I do not know where to look.
Could anyone assist.
Thanks,
Greg

Your probably seeing the clone source overlay. With the clone tool selected you can set the
options for the clone source overlay. You might try checking show overlay and checking clipped.
Resetting the clone tool doesn't effect those settings.

Cloning tool haywire

Hello,
I am having a problem with my clone stamp tool on Elements 11. When I Alt/Click to isolate an area to be cloned, the ENTIRE frame is cut out and moves around the screen. This has never happened previously. How do I fix?
Thanks!

Try resetting the tool.

Depth of Field tool in Elements 11

I have a problem with the depth os field tool in Elements 11. When I add focus, the focus area becomes a black smudge, is there a fault? Your help is appreciated.

Hi,
OK, in case it makes any difference, what operating system are you using?
To me, it looks as though you are trying the simple method.
Are you clicking on the Add Blur button first? - Does the image go out of focus after you click on the button?
After that, then you select the area to be in focus as mentioned above.
It is important to do things in the order top to bottom.
The guided mode really uses layers, one of which is the black mask you are seeing. For interest sake, if you manage to get it to work properly, if you switch to Expert mode, you will see the layers it has created.
Good luck

Text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer

Any attempt to use text tool in elements 10 has taken to locking up computer. I do not want to pay for an upgrade until I know that one of two things will happen: 1) the upgrade will fix this situation, OR 2) there is a way to repair the problem so that the upgrade will install properly

Select the T tool and try a reset - see image below:

Basis work for SAP system copy using DB2 cloning tool

My company is using the DB2 cloning tool, formerly from MainStar. Our DBAs have used this tool to create a clone of a technical sandbox (ST1) to another DB2 instance (SZ1).
I am reading through the System Copy for SAP Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 2004s SR2 ABAP+Java guide and trying to follow the steps.
As information, our application servers are currently running on zLinux and I am trying to do a system copy of an HA ABAP+Java SID.
Since we have used the cloning tool, which I would equate to a homogeneous system copy using database specific tools, the guide looks like it says I can skip the Export Preparation and Table Splitting Preparation steps. The only other step for the source system is the Database and Central Instance Export.
When I execute this step, it creates a dump of the database. This seems useless as we already have a cloned copy of the database.
Does anyone have the list of Basis tasks for a system copy when the DB2 cloning tool is used?
Brian

Nevermind. If someone sets:
rdisp/j2ee_start = 0
in an ABAP+Java system, sapinst behaves strangely during the system export and does not give the option to only dump the filesystem. Bug?

Where do I find Quick Selection tool in Elements 12

Where do I find Quick Selection tool in Elements 12

You need to be in Expert mode, so if you aren't, click the word Expert at the top of the editor to go there. Then it will be to the right of the lasso tool. It shares a slot with the magic wand and the selection brush, so just click whichever is visible and then you can change tools in the tool options area at the bottom of the screen.

Cloning tool

Help! My cloning tool doesn't work. I select it, and then I put my circle on the picture. Immediately a box pops up saying I can't use the cloning tool until I hit alt/click to choose a spot to work on. But if I hit alt the box appears again. It won't let me do anything.

Barbara,
I see that you meant go to "edit", not editor! So I did what you told me to do - reset preference.
I brought the picture back. The clone was already highlighted. I went to the picture and hit alt/click on the grey part (the part I wanted to use to cover something up). It created another picture that could slide around over the picture that was there. Is that a good thing?!

Problem with Stamp Cloning Tool in CS5?

Hello,
I am having the darndest problem that I've never encountered before. I am using the cloning tool in CS5 and I am trying to stamp clone one part of the photo and clone it to another part of the photo. The problem is that after I option click and then drag it to the part I need, dark spots show up instead? What is wrong here? Below is an example. Thanks.
I am running Photoshop CS5 for Mac with the latest updates.

We can't quite see it in your image, but have you got the Blend mode for the clone tool set for Difference perhaps? Otherwise go to the dropdown top let of Options bar, and see if you have any presets for that tool, and reset it. If none of that helps, time to reset the Preference file (Shift Cmd Opt as you open Photoshop)

Please try it with version 3.7. You can find it at
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3591
To install with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0:
1. Exit Photoshop Elements and Adobe Bridge
2. Open the Finder
3. Navigate to the root of the local disk (not the user's home folder).
4. Navigate to:
(Please read directory carefully)
Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
5. Move the existing plug-in to another location (for example, a new folder on your desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in,
Camera Raw, from the download into the same folder as in Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop Elements or Adobe Bridge.
Also make sure that you don't have the Nikon raw/nef plug in installed and over riding the Adobe one. Sorry, I don't have a Nikon to be able to tell you the name of their plugin.

i cannot find trhe shape tool in elements 12

Just to the right of the eyedropper, above the pencil tool. It will show the icon for whatever shape you last used, but click whatever's there and go to the tool options at the bottom of the window to select the shape tool you want.

Transform tool in Elements 4 not working

I'm trying to use the transform tool in Elements 4. All seems to be well until I hit the return key to activate the changes and then nothing happens. The image remains on screen with the transform perspective change visible but it doesn't actually make the change. I use an iMac with OSX.10.5.5
Can anyone offer advice?

No, what I did is still there visible on screen but not applied to the image. I'm finding it quite hard to explain using the correct terminology but if you visualise pulling the top triangles in so that two triangular sections appear on the edges (giving me, if the change would be applied, sides that are parallel to the sloping verticals in the image - which is the distortion I'm trying to correct), then committing this change, the marching ants disappear, the two triangular sections on the edges remain visible but no correction is applied to the image.
Does this help to describe my problem? Even more relevant, perhaps, is that I tried loading PSE3 into a PC and exactly the same problem emerged with transform perspective commands.
I'm sure you are right about my workflow. There is some fundamental issue that I haven't addressed properly. I don't need Photoshop much for the sort of work I do. Almost everything is well handled by Lightroom. So I haven't actually used this part of Photoshop since giving up CS2 in my old PC.
Thank you again for your patience in trying to resolve this.

Where is the line tool in Elements 12? I used this a lot in Elements 7.

I cannot find the line tool in Elements 12. I cannot draw lines with arrows at all. Does anyone know what happened?

craig
Are you using Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is the program running?
If you are talking about Premiere Elements 12/12.1, there is a line tool in the Shape section of the program's Titler. No arrows however unless
you try to draw them in with additional maneuvers of the line tool there.
If you are referring to the line tool in Photoshop Elements 12. The line tool is in with a group of tools.
In the screenshot, look to where I have the red arrow pointing in the toolbox. If it is not displaying there as the line tool, then click on it, which brings up the Options Bar for that tools group. Then select line tool in that Options Bar. The line tool options will be displayed in the Option Bar.
In the above screenshot, the custom shape tool was showing originally in the toolbox, with its options in the Options Bar. And, I next clicked on the line tool in the Options
Bar to use change the choice to use it and its options..
Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum.
Photoshop Elements
Please let us know if the above worked for you.
Thanks.

Where is the patch tool in Elements 13?

Have they removed the patch tool in Elements 13?

Elements had never had the patch tool, only full photoshop. PSE has the healing brush, the spot healing brush, content-aware move, and content-aware fill and you should be able to use one of those instead.
