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 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.

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.,

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.

After using the clone tool my keyboard freezes up. Why?

I am running Mac 10.6.8 and CS 5.5
Photoshop: CS5.1
After using the clone tool my keyboard freezes up. Why?
When I use the clone tool repeadedly i can no loger use my keyboard.
And that includes use for other applications.
I have to do everything manually by scrolling down the menu bars.
Also, I can't even type in any characters from the keyboard.
Thanks everyone smarter than I.

Thanks C,
(Sorry I don;t know your full name.
I followed your instructions and reset my preferences.
Crossing my fingers.
On another topic. I am running Design CS 5.5
But when I checked "about Photoshop it only reads CS5 12.1 x64.
Also, my prefs read CS5.1
Please advise.
I also seem to have prefs I may not need. I thought when I installed 5.5 my
old Photoshop version prefs would be deleted but they are still there (see
my snapshop of my pref files. Should I trash any?

Using the clone tool on a picture I have pasted in another background?

I have photoshop elements 9, and took a photo that I wanted to change the background on. I erased all the picture except for my husband and I, then used the lasso tool to outline our photo and I copied it, and pasted it on another picture with a better backround. Now I am unable to use the clone tool on my husband and I, but can on the background. Maybe there is a better way to extract a photo and post it to a new background. But everytime I try to see how to do it on google, I see all these other tools that people use that I don't have. I have only elements 9, so am limited. Any suggestions?

I'm not at all sure I understand how elements 9 is limited in terms of the clone stamp compared to whatever you're googling, but I think your problem is most likely that you are either not targeting a portion of a layer with something in it (trying to clone from the empty area of the layer surrounding the pasted in image of you and your husband, for example) or trying to clone from a layer that isn't active (trying to clone from the background layer when the pasted in layer is the active layer).
You might want to turn on the Sample all Layers checkbox and see if that helps any.

Where is the Clone Tool?

Right-click on the tool directly below the red-eye and then you can choose either the clone tool or the pattern tool.

Why does the clone tool not work? I just installed elements 9.

I bought photoshop elements through an online vendor and just trying to put it to use. The clone tool does not work at all. I have photoshop elements 5 on my computer, which I kept even after installing version 9. It works.

Try selecting the clone tool and doing a tool reset.

Need Help with the Clone Tool

I need help with the clone tool, in that when I clone (let's say grass as example), the new cloned area does NOT come out as sharp as the area selected. It comes out much softer and somewhat blurred. I have the opacity and flow both set at 100%. This is very frustrating since I can not get a true clone.

what "tip" do you have selected? where are you sampling from ( found in top option bar) ALSO make sure MODE is normal

I have Photoshop Elements 11. How do I find the clone tool?

You can select the clone stamp tool in Expert mode by pressing the letter S on the keyboard. There are two choices in the tools options bar at the bottom. Either clone stamp or pattern stamp tool.

Whe I use the Alt key with the clone tool, I get a message that I have to use the Alt key to define the area to be copied. What am I doing wrong?

I tried to check the alined box, but it would not work. I was able to check
the Sample box, but they they give you about 5 choices to check and I have
no idea what they are all about. I appreciate your help.
