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.

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

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:

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.

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

Photoshop CS4 64 bit - Clone Tool does not work (and other tools)

Hello.
I have been using Photoshop for many years going back to v5. I had used Design Prem Suite CS4 for the past year on an XP machine. All worked fine. I recently moved to WIndows 7 (64 bit) to get the add memory usage. CS4 installs both 64 and 32 bit versions on Windows 7 64 bit. So far all good. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED. I am at a dead end and really have no confidence in getting Adobe's help.
My tools are working erratically, especially the cloning and healing tools. I can't even use Photoshop in its current state and this has been going on now for weeks, no help from Adobe on my lates support ticket post.
I canonly say that the clong tools is all over the place including but not limited to:
* When I sample and then click to stamp, lines shoot across across the image as it I clone a line not a single sample area. These stamps can be the length of the enite image.
* when I sample, then click to stamp, some the stamps occurs on some other part of the image.
* when I sample and the click to stamp, nothing happens. I have to click several times.
* when I sample and then click to stampl, the prior location I stamped has the clone applied
There are more, but this is to just give an example.
Notes:
* I have trashed preferences at least 20 times and the problem immediately reappears
* The problem happens in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of PS running in Windows 7 65 bit
* The problem occurs with OpenGL tuned on and off
* I have installed the latest PC patch 11.0.1
* I have updated my latest NVidia drives. They are current.
* I uninstalled Photoshop (kept the rest of Suite) and that did not work, and the same problem reappeared. I am not uninstalling the complete suite but the reinstall has error (that is a separate issue)
* I have triple monitors running off 2 GeForce 9800 GT cards. These worked flawlessly before upgrading to the Windows 7 64 bit configuration. When I upgrades, I replaced the processor, motherbaord and moved to 12 GB ram. The graphic cards are the same.
Other tool issues:
* I have similar problems with the healing brush
* sometomes the text tool acts strange. I will click to enter text and a large area opens to enter text instead of just the cursor positioned ready for text. Then other times it works normally.
* the move tools sometimesacts strange. For example, if I try to move some test, the text jumps and moves of the image and I have to find it to drag it back on the image.
Thanks in advance

All I can say is... Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above... Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue. Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys. If they run on too long, consider switching brands.

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.

CS5 and bandaid tool problems

With a .pdf open, I select bandaid tool, then alt click for a sourcepoint, but rather than my cursor letting me repair the image, it turns into a handtool, and my image moves around the screen! I've made sure that I've got the latest drivers for CS5, and since I'm using a Wacom tablet, I downloaded the latest drivers there also. Any ideas?

Assuming by the "bandaid" tool you mean the Healing Brush (opposed to the Spot Healing Brush, which also uses a bandaid in its icon)...
Try this:
1. Click the Window - Clone Source menu.
2. Check the [ ] Clipped box.
3. Try using the Healing Brush again.

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 .

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
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT
Type: Display
Bus: PCIe
PCIe Lane Width: x16
VRAM (Total): 256 MB
Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
Device ID: 0x0391
Revision ID: 0x00a1
ROM Revision: 3021

iMac:
Resolution: 1920 x 1200
Depth: 32-bit Color
Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
Main Display: Yes
Mirror: Off
Online: Yes
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

Has AE CS5 fixed the clone tool??

Anyone know if they have fixed the caching problem that bogged AE down when cloning the same point using previous frames with the clone tool? This has been a issue since they added the clone tool and makes painting objects out almost impossible!
Sitting here writing this while AE CS 4 draws 1 frame!! So lame! Combustion could de better on an old g4!
Thanks Mark

Just confirming AE CS5 still bogs down when cloning from previous frame when painting in the same spot for more than 5 frames!
What crap!! Wasting my time pre-rending every 10 min!
Am I the only one who sees that AE has been going down hill since version 6.5??
Its like they got lazy, just started licensing technology and the basic coding has gotten worse! Wish there was an alternative.
This is what happens when management calls the shots, making decisions for monetary gain rather than doing what is right! Evil bastards!

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.

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).
