Recompose, content aware move tool and move don't work

recompose, content aware move tool and move don't work. It seems that the selected area keeps jumping back to its original position. What do I miss or what is going wrong?

Well, you haven't told us what version of PSE or what platform, but does this sound relevant?
Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10

Content-Aware Move Tool no longer working.

Background: I use Windows 7. I recently starting using Lightroom (downloaded 5.5 64 bit a few days ago). I edited a photo in there, exported it, opened it in Photoshop CC 64 bit. My goal was to remove a pole with the content-aware move tool and an added layer. At first, it worked like it usually does. However, I attempted to do the same with another photo and it began saying "selected area empty" even when I had my new layer selected, forcing me to perform my edits on the background layer. I have tried opening all types of files: CR2, JPEG, TIFF, PSD, including photos that I know were never edited in Lightroom and which I had previously been able to use this tool on. Photoshop is not allowing me to use the content-aware move tool on any layer besides the background in any of these formats.
Furthermore, it no longer performs an automatic fill-in based upon the surrounding area when I delete the content that I have moved. At times, it provides me with a "Fill" window (at which point I can manually select "Content Aware") or it provides me with no option and simply deletes the selected area INCLUDING the background behind it.
I have tried restarting the programs with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated as this has pretty much halted by ability to work. Thank you!

Alright, so I downloaded CC 2014. I opened it and first attempted using the content aware move tool on a photo that I had edited ONLY in Photoshop prior to this. The tool worked again.
Then I attempted opening a few photos that I had been editing in Lightroom earlier today and then had exported as a new file so I could apply some corrections in Photoshop (i.e., removing stuff with the content aware tool). These files (I attempted a file that I had exported as a CR2 (original file type) and a file that I had exported as a PSD) are exhibiting the same issue I discussed above.
I closed the program completely. Reopened the first photo (the one that had only been edited in Photoshop prior to this) and now the issue is reoccurring with that file too.
The issue seems to reside with the files that I am trying to move from Lightroom to Photoshop. Unfortunately, once this issue occurs with one photos, it seems to be ruining my ability to use the content aware tool with all my files, whether they were ever touched in Lightroom or not.
Rebooting the program and my computer has not helped.

Using the content aware move tool, I want to move an item from one image to another image but it does not seem to work. I think I need two layers on one document so how do I do this

Good day!
A simple Paste does not work for you?
It should place the clipboard content as a new Layer which you can then move around.
If there is any chance that the elements need to be scaled, rotated etc. I would prefer to place them as Smart Objects (File > Place …) and do the masking that is specific to the images themselves in those.

Feature request -- "seamless tones and colors" to content aware move tool

The Content Aware Move Tool works pretty doggone well, except that differences in brightness or tones in the selection's new position frequently fail to match. For instance, moving a bird from near the top of the frame, where the sky is lighter blue, to nearer the horizon in the middle of the frame, where the sky is deeper blue, reveals a huge difference in the sky color. In the past, I would put the selection on a new layer, clone out the bird's original location, then use the Auto Blend Layers>stack images>seamless tones and colors to match things up.
Is there any way of integrating that "seamless tones and colors" into the new move tool? Or, barring that, have some way of selecting "move to new layer" when using the Content Aware Move Tool, so that after the move, one could merge the layers using the Auto Blend function?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thanks for the feedback. We will evaluate the customer feedback and consider some of the requests for a future version of Photoshop. I agree with Pierre that posting your request to the feedback link may allow it to be heard better as this is primarily a forum for problems with the Photoshop CS6 beta.

Content Aware Move Tool Issue

Using a large, 16x20 240dpi photograph....
I created a completely non-feathered mask of a subject against a background (mask-view reveals black and white with no greys)
I moved the subject with the content aware move tool. The portion where the sudbject used to be is clean and devoid of any trace of the subject.
However,
The subject, now moved, is showing feathering in random parts of their formerly masked outline. The subject's hair is feathered to the point that the subject is missing nearly all of their hair which bleeds into the background. This is not a case of a bad mask. This was the doing of the content fill.

U
You will see the in the "moved" image, the subject's head exhibits feathering despite the clean mask displayed above.
Platform: Mac OSX Lion, 2011 Mac Pro
By the way, the content aware fill algorithm did an remarkable job at filling in the missing house details! Just plain genius!

Moving the selection in Content Aware Move tool

I have a semi low light image of a person standing on a beach .. he is on the wrong side .. I select him with the selection tool, and then try to use the Content Aware Patch tool to move him to the right .. but only half of the selection moves
It is a little strange because the person is pure black (contra jour) and I am trying to move him to a section of the image which is fairly similar

I think you want to try out the Content-Aware Move Tool, not the Patch Tool. The Patch Tool is used to remove subjects, not move them.
The Patch tool does a great job of copying selected pixels to a new location when in destination mode. The new CA Move tool is a variation on this that uses CA Fill to fix the space thos pixels were copied from. In actual fact the Patch tool is still doing a better job that CAM at seamlessly copying pixels with the distortion CAM seems to introduce.
Martin Evening introduced a really neat trick using the Patch tool in Destination mode. I have actually managed to find a pdf of the relevant chapter in and old version of Photoshop CS for Photographers on the Pixel Genius site:
http://www.pixelgenius.com/tips/evening-healing.pdf
Check out page four. The secret step is nudging the selection after using FT and moving it. That's what prompts the seamless intergration at the new location.

My Content-Aware Move tool is missing. Where is it?

Hello, thanks for reply. I tried shift j, didnt help. what is the fly out? I using
Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.0.1 (12.0.1x20100625 [20100625.r.1146 2010/06/25:17:40:00 cutoff; r branch]) x32.

Where is the content aware move tool?

I can't find the content aware move tool amongst the other icons!! Here's a screenshot of what I can see. All of my software is brand new too.

It’s the fourth tool from the top nested under the spot healing tool. Right-click on the icon or use two fingers on the trackpad. Alternatively keep pressing shift+J to tab through the tool choices.

CS6: where is Content Aware Move Tool? [was:Tools]

I cannot find my contact aware move tool. My software is brand new (CS6) It is included with the software right?

If you don't see it on the tool bar, you have to click and hold down the mouse button for the other options to show, then select the right tool.

Content Aware Move Tool Missing

The Content Aware Tool is missing from the Tools Bar. How do I make it appear

Hi!
You can also cycle the tools with an option/alt+click on their tool icon, in this case the first tool after the first divider of the toolbar.
If you right-click on a tool with an triangle on its bottom right corner, you get a drop down list with the alternate tools.

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.
