Cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool

the cursor leaves when using the spot removal tool if i drag it to the right. how do i find it again?

Below the image, to the left is the <Tool Overlay> feature. Click on the double-triangle and select <Always>. If you have it set to <Auto> it disappears when you leave the image area.
See screen shot:
If you don't see the <Tool Overlay> press letter T on your keyboard to make the toolbar visible.

    Is this just a setting?

    Thank you!  I feel so stupid -- I did search the internet--maybe not hard enough.

  • Lightroom 5.2 freezes when using the spot edit tool with Wacom Intuos 5

    Hi,
       I've been using Photoshop 6.x with my Intuos 5 for almost a year and it's been great.  I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 only to discover that when I use the spot edit tool that it freezes when i use this tool as a brush.  It starts off smooth, but after brushing across my area i want to clone/heal, Lightroom seems to freeze up, and the spot edit tool is unusable.  I can lift my pen off the tablet and a few seconds later Lightroom comes back, but the tablet is basically unusable to me.  The mouse works perfectly fine.
      I've read other posts at the end of last year '12, that walks through some regedits and disabling some other tablet functions, but none of those work for me.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks Ed

    I solved my own issue.  I saw an article @ http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?19694-Spot-removal-tool-doesn-t-work-with-Wa com-Intuos-5-in-LR-5 that solved my issue.
    Step 1:
    Walcom Tablet Properties
    Step 2:
    Click on Customize and change the default line graph from this:
    Step 3:
    To this
    Step 4:
    Click OK.
    After that, my spot edit tool stopped freezing in LR 5.2 while i was using my intuos 5 pen.
    Prior to doing this, I also did the procedure listed here:  http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8036
    So it's possible that both need to be done in order for the freezing to stop.  I hope this can help others.

  • Only circles for the spot removal tool

    Hey all!
    I'm running into what seems a simple issue but there's no information about this on line, or at least not something that can help me.
    When I choose the spot removal tool and click and drag in order to get a linear edit (not a circle) instead of the desired effect, the circle gets bigger. I can't seem to be able to just correct a non-circular smudge.
    I've checked on line, even some tutorials, but everybody seems to just click and drag and it works.
    Any ideas?

    Which camera raw version are you using.  Spot removal was only circles ("spots") in CS6 and earlier.  CC added an enhanced spot removal tool that works like photoshop's healing brush tool.

  • When using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key layer just moves

    when using the clone stamp tool and press the alt key to set a point it seem to create a new layer and just moves the layer arround. I can not get the clone to now work. what did I do?

    Open the Clone Source panel. I think you'll find the Clipped option is disabled. If so, enable it.

  • The spot removal tool in Lightroom 5 has suddenly started running REALLY slowly, to the point of being unusable.  What should I do?!

    My spot removal tool was working absolutely fine and then suddenly started running really slowly.  I now can't adjust easily as there's a lag of about 5 seconds between moving the mouse and the icon moving on screen. I've tried splitting my catalog (which is not actually that big - less than 3000 photos) but that doesn't work.  Help!  I really need to do some photo editing and I'm running really far behind work-wise!

    This has nothing to do with catalog size. Splitting the catalog won't help.
    This is a common issue with the spot removal tool, if you remove LOTS of spots in a single photo, it will begin to run slowly; the more spots you remove, the slower it will get. If you have a photo which requires huge amounts of spot removal, it would be better to do this in a "desctructive editor" like Photoshop or Photoshop Elements.

  • Return key not creating a new line when using the horizontal text tool

    Going through the adobe after effects 'classroom in a book' examples - when writing a line of single line using the horizontal text tool pressing return does not create the next line underneath, the cursor stays on the same line?
    Anybody out there had this problem?

    Hi Bill
    Thanks for replying!
    My OS is windows 7. I think it is the first time I have needed to put more than one line of text in an after effects layer. I am new to CS5.5 - after effects and I'm going through an adobe tutorial  'classroom in a book' series book.
    I thought about using a paragraph text box as you suggest but could not find the function in the tools menu.
    I have since tried clearing the cache out and restoring default layout but with no joy.
    I have used the return key for multiple line text in premier pro and it works perfectly ok.
    Cheers,
    Alan

  • Photoshops elements 9 shuts down when using the Spot healing brush

    Hello all, I just downloaded and installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. Of course I wanted to use that supposedly great "heal" tool. The program seems to work fine, but as soon as I use the Spot Healing Brush, I get the message that something occured and the program has to shut down. It's installed on a Windows XP, SP3 PC. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? I appreciate you help. Best regards,

  • When using the refine edge tool, my image is opposite....rather than the background being transparent...the "subject" is gone...do I have a  something set incorrectly?

    I used the quick selection tool to outline, then refine edge....
    my image does not shoe up in the refine edge window....it is a "mask"..
    then when I output to "new layer  with layer mask"....my "subject" t is gone...back ground remains...

    Thanks for your prompt reply!
    this is how the "finished" product looks...this is the image after I select "output to mask"..
    It seems "reversed"?

  • 5.5 Crashes when using the pin puppet tool

    Hopefully somebody can help me. Every time I try to use the pin puppet tool, I get the same error message:
    After Effects error: Crash in progress. Last logged message was <7320> <DynamicLink> <5> 000000001B5098D0
    Folloed by a message apologizing for the error and a last chance to save the project (which sometimes saves a blank project).
    I wasn't using any large images or doing anything to overload it. Help, please?

    Thanks for replying Todd. I do submit every crash report. I have been trying to re-enact my crashing problems and I have only slightly narrowed it down.
    I have noticed that the puppet pin tool only crashes my large projects (Illustrator file @ 3840x2160res fit into an AE comp of 1920x1080res with 30+ layers). My projects here at work deal with short animations, but I have made my comp size large so that I can pan around my scenes. I'm only using the puppet pin tool on 1 or 2 layers, but I feel that the program just freaks out because I have so many layers in my shots.
    After AE crashes and I reopen it, I don't have a problem with the puppet tool again.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

    Hello! I recently downloaded and
    installed the PSE 9 on my PC. Obviously I wanted to check out it's possibil
    ities and especially the Spot Healing Brush. The program seems to work fine until I want to use the Spot Healing Brush
    As soon as I try to apply something to a picture, I get the message something is wrong with "photoshopeditor.exe" and needs to shut down the program.
    That's really annoying and hopefully someone may have the answer and solution why it does this. I run the program on Windows XP (SP3).
    I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

  • Turn off Snaps in Motion 5 when using the Edit Points tool and Beziers

    I drew a bunch of Bezier lines and am now going through my animation and fine tuning thier locations using the "Edit Points" tool. Is there a way to turn off the snapping function within the edit points tool?
    Matt

    With snapping on and dragging around points or control points in Edit points, you can temporarily disable the snapping action by holding down the command key.

  • I cannot click on all spots in the spot removal tool

    Some spots I can click on (circle cursor in top right):
    Some I cannot (can't click on the one the arrow points to near the center):
    The circle cursor simply doesnt appear if I am near the center of the photo.
    I can drag a path from the perimeter to the spot and get it that way but it seems odd to me. LR5 for Mac. Opacity is 100%,this is not an issue of the effect not correcting the issue, I cannot cause the effect.
    I presume I am missing something but cannot determine what it is.

    So after some more investigatiion, none of the tools worked outside the center of the image editing window. There was an invisible rectangle in the middle of the window inside which I could not apply tools such as spot removal, red eye removal, graduated filter, etc. Restarting lightroom got rid of it.

  • The spot remover tool does not remove the selected item

    When I use spot remover and click on the item I want to remove it hightlights it but does not remove the item

    Is your Opacity set to 100%?
    If you press the "H" key does it show where it is getting the replacement from?
