CS2 clone tool problem..

I have reset tools, reset preferences, checked opacity, blending mode, made sure I am on a active layer, duplicated background layer, used a different file to see if the same result occurred, checked channels palette for rgb active. Done everything but re-install software, but do not see why I should need to do that when all else is good. Appreciate the help.

I just solved my own dilema dave. I had my mouse in hand when trying to utilize the tool, mouse- not so pressure sensitive as the pen. HELLO, wake up beaird!! using my pad and was not using the pen for pressure sensitive brush setting. Thanks .

  • Clone tool problem

    I had an image open with four layers. On the fourth layer I was using the clone tool and I was having problems with it. As I was cloning out a section, the clone tool started to make odd pixels on the image. I had to flatten the layers and create a new layer for the clone tool to work right.

    Yes this question pops up quite regularly. Its a feature that is hidden away in a panel that should probably never have been introduced. These very basic options do not appear duplicated as they should, in the Options Bar.
    The answer is - if you show your Clone Source Panel, there is a checkbox called "Show Overlay" that you need to uncheck. Experiment with "Clipped" as well.

  • CS5 64 bit Clone Tool Problem

    If I use the clone tool or the healing brush in CS5 64 bit, after selecting the source point with the alt key whenever I move the cursor a copy of the whole mage moves, it looks like I am moving a duplicate layer. I read a similar post in the Mac forum and the response was to de-select the show overlay in the Clone Source tool box, this works but takes away a very nice feature.
    The problem does not happen in the 32 bit version.

    Thank you very much that did the trick, much appreciated.

  • CS4 Clone Tool Problem

    I am using CS4, and my clone tool will act up every once in a while by cloning to an area that I have not gone over. I will be cloning and then when I start an area, nothing happens to the area cloned (the area I am trying to cover over with selected area), then suddenly another area of the photo will show the clone.
    Has anyone had this problem, and know how to fix it? I have reset my settings by doing a CTRL, Shift, ALT at startup and that doesn't fix the problem.
    Roger

    Can I ask a question in this panel? I have CS 4 which I just bought, the disk that came with it only has a few minutes of tutorial on it and wants to go online, I don't have my PC on line, nor do I have the capability on any of the 5 PC's. I don't seem to be able to find the CLONE SOURCE PANEL, so can't try the de-select "Show Overlay". Can you tell me where it is? Thanks, Larry Flagg

  • CS5 clone tool problems

    There is probably a setting I'm not seeing but when I clone the clone does not blend in like in CS3.It's very harsh. I've been to the clone menus and in the preferences settings but the clone is not working the way I like. Any help is appreciated or let me me know if I have not described the problem correctly.
    Thanks,
    Marion

    Marion, can you please describe your editing environment a little better?
    You speak as though the clone tool will normally "look harsh before blending in"...
    That's not at all how it looks, or has looked, for me back through Photoshop version 6 and beyond.  When I clone (or do anything else) with a fuzzy-edged brush it just brushes on fuzzy.
    If it is doing this for you something is clearly different between your system and others, or you're working in a way that's somehow different than others.
    Are you working on the same computer with the same video drivers as when you were using CS3 and saw this behavior?  Is it a very old computer?

  • Clone tool problems

    I recently purchased the Adobe cs5 upgrade.
    it works fine but I am encountering a huge problem with the clone tool.I am trying to clone from one image to another. I click on the source image and the familiar tool with the crosshair appears. When I move over to the target image the original crosshair on the source image disappears but the cloning occurrs. on my target image
    The + sign on the source image is now invisible so it is hard to  view the area I want to clone from
    IN cs3 the + sign remained on the source image. I reset the tool but the problem still remains.
    However when cloning  one part to another on  the same image there is no problem and  can see what area I am cloning from
    I do not know if there are any preferences  I failed to choose. I am very familiar with Photoshop so this really baffles me
    Hopefully some one will be able to solve this
    Thanks for any assistance

    Photoshop CS5 works for me just as you described too:  No source indicator when cloning between images, a + indicator when cloning in the same image.  In this case OpenGL Drawing was enabled, set to Advanced mode.
    I did some additional testing...
    With Photoshop CS5 and OpenGL DISABLED the behavior changes.  In this case the + indicator DOES move around on the source image even when cloning from another image.
    I also verified the exact same condition exists with Photoshop CS4.
    Perhaps it's just something they couldn't quite get to work with the new OpenGL drawing mode.
    Running without OpenGL is probably not a good workaround, as you lose a number of other good things without it.
    There's an official bug report form here that you may wish to use:

  • CS5 , the clone tool problem!

    I have noticed that in
    version 12 of CS5 that the clone tool no longer accepts negative values, so on cant clone a
    missing limb without having to copy, paste & filp. WHY?

    Sorry Im not certain I understand your point? Are you saying this
    oversight will not exist in the final release version, if you are then
    how can you Know? Otherwise my point is to highlight an issue which can be debated and corrected if need be

  • 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.

  • Spot heal/clone tool problem

    Hello, I thought when I upgraded to LR4 that my problems with the spot tool would be a thing of the past.  Unfortunately they are just as bad if not worse.  I run on a Windows 7, 64 bit, 2.6 GHz, 6 GB RAM.  Using the spot tool to clone or heal slows things down considerably (though I do notice a little slowing in general with version 4).  The longer I use the tool, the worse it is.  I start to get strange partial square shapes under the spot when I try to modify it in any way (e.g. move it a bit or change from heal to clone).  I then need to delete the spot and start over to get rid of it.  Results get uneven, and eventually the program freezes, with a clenched fist for the cursor, and I can't move any spots, or even click anything in the program (though the cursor does move).  Any ideas what the problem could be?  I do not want to use the tool at all now, which given how important it is, begs the question why am I even using this program to edit photos?

    Not many, maybe 8-10 or so.  But it depends on how much I've been doing two things at once, how fast I'm moving, how long I've been working (longer I'm on it, more chance of it happening).  Seems like my computer can only deal with Lightroom when I use it at a certain, measured pace.  And I thought I was comfortably over the minimum requirements regarding speed.  Plenty of room on my hard drive (catalog on a different drive than program).  My antivirus isn't doing anything at the time, no other programs working at the time, just LR.  One thing, the fan is working OT when it happens, but I have the laptop on a cooling pad.  Seems to be getting behind and/or running out of RAM when it happens.

  • HELP! Illustrator CS2 pen tool problems

    Hi, All
    new to the forum...great resource...
    I'm having a problem with my CS 2. Specifically my tools are acting weird..
    The pen tool will not allow me to place points where I want them, or adjust the handles with any finesse. When I go to place a point in a certain spot, and click the mouse, a point appears nearby but not where I want it to. Then, when I try to move it, or adjust its handles, it only will go where it wants to...not where I'm telling it to go.
    I can select objects, but cannot place them where I want them!!!! ( I can get close, but no cigar!)
    This is most frustrating!....
    I have re-installed the program.
    I have also restarted the computer.
    I have not trashed my preferences folder....not sure where that is or if that might be the problem.
    Can any of you guys (and gals) help?!?
    many thanks in advance
    JP

    DUH!
    Thanks very much JET.....that was exactly it.....though how it got turned on, I dont know....(couldnt have been anything I did!!!) lol

  • CS2 Eye dropper and clone tool not picking up correct colour from image.

    Hello everyone, Can anyone help me please. I have an iMac with 0SX 10.4.4.
    Plenty of Ram and hard drive space. In using CS2 the eyedropper and clone tools will not pick up the exact same colour from the image that I require. It is always lighter in shade and has on occasion been white. Any help in solving this problem will be much appreciated.
    Yours in anticipation, Geoff Walter.

    >The eyedropper is picking-up the color as rendered in RGB on your Monitor...
    Really? Not from the pixels in the file? So the same pixels are reported with different values depending on monitor setup? This is about how the eyedropper reports pixel values, not about how they are rendered to the screen, is that correct?
    Just to be sure here, this is so even with the eyedropper set to point sample?
    Al
    Edit: Or do you mean that this is a known problem with 0SX 10.4.4. and Photoshop, in which the values are picked up from the monitor and not from the file data?

    I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

    At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
    When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
    - If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
    - If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

  • Installed Photoshop Elements 10 on new computer and clone tool smears dark spots around photos. Spot healing brush smears dark colors around. Lighten and contrast work ok. Have deleted program and reinstalled but same problems.

    Anybody have suggestions as I am stumped?

    On the clone tool's option bar, top left, click on the little triangle. Since you are having a problem with two tools, suggest that you reset all tools. Let us know whether or not this resolves the issue.

  • Problems with Clone Tool / Content Aware Scaling in CS4 Mac

    I've been using PS for about 1 year and a half.  Sort of an Advanced beginner.  One of the things I love is the clone tool.  Since I've upgraded to CS4 I've had nothing but problems with the Clone tool.  When I go over an area it doesn't show anything and the either makes the adjustments after a long delay or it goes black and then comes back with the adjustment.  Sometimes when I'm dragging the brush the whole picture goes away replaced by a smear of color noise.  It really makes the tool unusable.  In many cases I've gone back to CS3.
    I also have similar problems with the content aware scaling.  Never been able to get it to work.  Basically some of the nicest new features of CS4 are worthless for me.  Tried looking at Adobe solution and searching the forums but I haven't seen any exactly similar problems of solutions.
    Any help appreciated.  I have a white 24' Intel Mac with a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual with 3GB RAM.

    As always the various User Forums are fantastic.  Adobe (and other) get everyone to do their Tech Service for them.  Thanks for the help.
    So, two new pieces of info.  When I disable Open GL everything works fine.  (Sorry about the TIFF, I just didn't catch it)  So in essence this solves my problem.
    Also PS CS4 works perfectly on my new Aluminum MacBook.  So clearly it is an issue with the video board on my iMac.
    This brings me to the wrap-up question.  Should PS CS4 theoretically work with Open GL on my iMac or is it a know problem with CS4 and older graphics boards?  I'm assuming my board supports Open GL.
    This is the Profiler data on the Graphics Card

      Quartz Extreme: Supported

    Some of the Open GL features are nice and wouldn't mind having them but not worth buying a new Mac for.  So the questions is: Is the some kind of upgrade / driver I can load to solve this problem.
    Again Thanks for the help

  • CS6 Clone tool opacity problem

    I am familiar with the operation of the clone tool in previous versions of Photoshop.... However after upgrading to CS6 I am having a problem with the functionality of the clone tool.
    Basically when using the clone tool when its set to 100% opacity & flow, it looks as though the clone tool is only set to 50% opacity.
    I'm not sure if there is a setting I am not aware of that can fix this... I am using the default configuration that came with the program.
    My previous version was CS3... clone tool worked perfectly there... I dont understand why the same tool doesnt perform the same way with the same apparent settings.
    If anyone has a simple solution I would love to hear it.
    Thanks,
    Marc

    You must be using a brush preset that has those settings (wet edges & build-up) enabled in the brush panel.
    Not all the brushes have those settings enabled in the the brush panel unless you were to lock those settings or just changing the tip shape.
    Also in the the brush panel there is only the option to set the tip shape, unlike cs3 that has both tip shape and brush presets in the same panel.
    Cs6 uses a separate panel called Brush Presets for changing the presets.
    In cs6 Build Up is the same as Airbrush on in cs3.
    Transfer is what Other Dynamics was in cs3
