Elements 13 - leaves black spots & lines when editing

Elements 13 Spot Healing Tool - freezes & leaves black spot on image in Photoshop Elements
Julie Law asked1 month ago
I am using Elements 13 on a Mac, doing substantial spot healing in restoring old images.
The healing tool regularly seems to have a delay in responding and then leaves a dark spot on the image.  When I 'undo' to remove it, the spot occasionally extends down to the bottom right with a smudged line.
Is this happening to anyone else?
Any tips on how to prevent this?

  • What might cause CTI to leave black vertical lines in timeline (CS4)?

    I'm relatively new with Premiere Pro CS 4.
    For some reason, whenever I click on the CTI, or move it around the timeline, it leaves a trail of black verticle lines.
    Sometimes these black lines totally prevent me from seeing anything on the timeline.
    This just started yesterday.  Up until that, everything was fine.
    Any idea what is causing this?
    I must have clicked on some tool or setting.  But I can not get rid of it.
    Even closing Premiere and turning it back on does not help.  Neither does changing projects.
    thx

    OK, I found the solution in one of the forums after searching for  ~ "timeline disapearing."
    Apparently, if you open up FireFox while using Premiere or before using Premiere, it causes the timeline to behave oddly.  Basically, the time line starts to turn black as if it is not getting refreshed.
    The work around is to reboot, and NOT use Firefox at all.  Bummer.  I could not find a real fix.
    Even if you reboot and then open and close Firefox, Premiere's timeline will have this problem.
    But if you reboot and use Premiere, it's OK, until you open Firefox.
    The thread says this also happens with ZoneAlarm and Premiere but I could not confirm that problem.

  • Black horizontal lines when printing

    The printer prints all black horizontal lines on several pages wehn starting to print or copy. totally black and unreadable.  After several pages, it gets better, but still is not a totally clean print. I have reveiwed all your suggetsions. The scanning works fine, only printing is a problem.  I have cleaned everything, replaced print cartridges, but nothing works.  Someone supggested there is a controlling cartridge that my need to be replaced.  I cannot find any information on this  anywhere.    Please help, thank you, Pam

    Can you scan a print showing the defect and post it here?  It would help to understand the nature of the lines and at what space they repeat.

  • I get unwanted duplicate lines when editing the data content of my JTable

    I have created an editable JTable (filled with data from an SQL) with a modified instance of AbstractDataModel.
    I have a phenomenon that I cannot explain nor fix: each time I edit a data field in the JTable and press ENTER or leave the field, the edited line is duplicated. The extra content is not sent to my SQL (if I recreate the table everything is fine, except that certainly the changed value is lost). The problem must come from the Java code.
    Ok, I admit, that I am not a Java pro and might have made a really stupid error, but I cannot find it.
    Has someone already seen such a behavior?
    Thanks

    Now we are drifting away a little from Java and start getting into philosophy ... :-) But one last reply I will do:
    I agree that just playing around with the fuse box is dangerous and brings no benefit. But I am not that unknowing in Java... Technically saying I work in IT, but just not as a programmer but rather as a business consultant (I write the functional concepts that later the programmers have to implement and then I have to talk to them to fix functional errors and do the testing). Besides, I hold an official Java Programmer degree. But when not programming professionally and continuously gaining experience, it is very hard to keep your skill up. Therefore I do one or another hobby project with Java that I could also do better and faster with other tools such as Excel, Access or a simple batch job.
    My concept for trying new things is to get a piece of code from the internet from which I assume I know roughly what it does. Then I use it in my programs, and while altering it to my needs, I continuously keep searching in API, documentation and tutorials or simple trial and error to get better insight into the details.
    And as a scientist you know what I mean when I say that if I try something new, I simply accept for certain details that they work without knowing how. And over time I then take the time for the "how". Many famous people made their inventions by trial and error and while then testing their new observation and changing the surrounding conditions found out why they work. Not that I would claim for myself to be anything close to a genius inventor but I found that the approach works for me to advance in my insights of a solution.

  • Lcd has black streaks/lines when idle

    My iPhone 3G sometimes has vertical black lines or streaks when it's idle (when nothing is being displayed on the screen). It's random, doesn't happen all the time, but is on there most of the time.
    Using the phone and then letting it return to idle (blank screen) will clear the issue, but after some random time, it happens again, the streaks/lines come back.
    they are very fine, and vertical. I wonder if this is reducing my battery life? as the phone is displaying black lines on it's display...
    It's not causing any issues when using the phone, and is only when sitting idle on it's blank screen... v'strange. return this unit for another?

    Hi. I recently updated to software vesion 2.0.2 and started to notice the vertical lines you describe. I had never noticed them before. I have spoken to Apple iPhone tech support and they say they have never heard of this issue. They have asked me to do a restore on the phone via iTunes to see if it is a software or hardware issue. If it still happens after restore they told me to go to Apple store to see about a possible replacement. I have tried the resore and so far I haven't noticed the lines but it is early days.
    By the way I have noticed the lines appear randomly and sometimes when I receive an email and get the audible signal I can see them.
    Let me know how you get on if you try to restore iPhone

  • IPhoto windows goes black (photo disappears) when editing

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto 11 and was editing a photo when it disappeared. Basically, the entire iPhoto window went black and I was unable to make an edits.
    When I went back to the Events page the picture was there looking normal. But I am unable to edit the photo because any time I go to make a change, the picture disappears.
    I restarted iPhoto and rebuilt the database, the thumbnails... every option available when restarting holding the Option + Command keys. Still no joy.
    Anybody have any clue what's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • MF4800 printing black horizontal lines when printing pdf. Other canon printer prints fine.

    I have a Canon MF4800, when I print pdf documents, it prints random black horizonatal bars, they appear to be every second line where the text is. This exact same document prints fine on a Canon MF4370. I have the same problem on 2 laptops and a desktop (all three print to the MF4370 fine, but not on the MF4800 so this is obviously a problem with the MF4800.  The MF4800 prints Word and Excel documents fine, only issue is with PDF documents. Thanks for any help!! Cheers,  Jeff

    Which MBA, which printer? Printer incl driver properly installed? Printed test page (yes, THE test page, not something else) and it looks okay?

  • Black out screen when editing

    Has anyone had problems where the screen blacks out and directs me to my iPads app menu? This happens whenever I try to edit a document , highlight , or even flip pages. I've tried to restore my purchases, I have all my programs updated... I am confused

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes I'm using adobe reader. I subscribed to the
    covert PDF to word doc and it was working fine then a week or so later it
    just blacks out and shuts itself off completely. It happens as soon as I
    select a word , then drag the blue dots to choose a sentence to make note
    of, it won't even let me finish selecting the sentence before it shuts off.
    Hopefully there is a way to get it back to the way it was

    Order of Troubleshooting...
    (1) Video Card Driver Problem
    Does the computer use a NVIDIA GeForcce video card/graphics card? If so, stop and read the announcement at the top of this forum.
    It describes the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card driver problem and gives the fix. For your convenience the following is a
    copy/paste of the Announcement. Very important to rule in or out the known Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing Premiere
    Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling back the video card
    driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches specific
    to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then the “user to user”
    remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has
    gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective
    action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

    We could direct you to video and audio properties readout programs, but let us see if we can get the information needed from knowing

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 Leaves a black horizontal line while copying

    HP Officejet Pro 8500  Leaves a black horizontal line while copying . It can print fine, but whenever we make copies (black, or color) we get a straight horizontal line running across the page. I'ts a perfect line, no streaks, nothing i do can fix it, any ideas?

    Are you putting the copies through the auto feeder?   If so, you might want to clean the roller and the glass that it would roller over.  I also clean the white bar that is on the bottom of the cover.
    I have the same issue but it is white line when I am scanning.

  • Black image boundry lines when placing image in Illustrator

    I am making a business card in Illustrator 6.
    I placed an image of my black signature with transparent background on the white background business card, and now it is leaving a box were that signature image canvas ends. This happens with both a .psd and .pnd files.
    Now if I could just go into photoshop and extend the canvas and leave the image the same size that would be great. When I try to do this though there is still the old canvas boundry line.
    If I was able to start all over I would have had the original canvas size way wider than the image of my signature that I drew on it. That way it's boundries would now be outside of my business cards boundries and I would not be seeing those black boundry lines.
    There must be a simple way of fixing this?

    I tried that, but where the instructions say "File > Print, and under Output, choose Composite CMYK" I don't have that option. Otherwise I did the rest and it did not help.
    I forgot to say that it only prints what is inside my signatures boundries/canvas dimensions and will not even print to the edge of the Illustrator file.
    I would attach the image, but it is too large of a file and whatever other formats I try to save it at it will only save it to the boundries of my signature and not the Illustrator image, artboard or whatever you call it.
