Erratic Cursor Movements in Photoshop (Vista 64) with Clone Stamp

Hellom first post here! I've looked everywhere but either noone else has this problem or I'm not using the correctly vocabularly in my searches. You can see a screen recording of the problem @ onmQ&feature=player_profilepage I am just trying to fix some seems for a texture in Photoshop. I'm using a pretty simple method of a half opacity Clone Stamp brush and just tapping the obvious seams with other parts of the image. All goes well till about 38 seconds into it the Clone Stamp makes a huge streak in the lower left half of the video. You'll even notice that my cursor didn't go over there.... its similar to drawing lines while holding shift (giving you straight lines) but it happens randomly and not on purpose... any ideas? Its reallllllllllly annoying.
Thanks in advance.

Tell us the following:
Photoshop version number
Amount of RAM installed
Hard drive(s) capacity
Make and model number of video card
Make sure PS is version 11.0.1 and update your video card drivers anyway.

Is there anyone having problem with Clone Stamp in CS4?

Good Morning, I am using Photoshop CS4 Extended with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. My computer is a Dell XPS 430, WITH 8GB of ram, 1.5TB of disk space, ATI Radean HD 4800 Series adapter with 512MB memory. When I bring up an image in Photoshop and click on Clone stamp I get the error message "could not use the clone stamp because of a program error." I can still use Clone Stamp, but with some wied reults. Sometime the middle of the brush turns bright white and do nothing. Again it will clone the item clicked on, but would move the spot being cloned. Other times when the brush is move from the spot being cloned it will clone other area without cliking on them.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 4 times. I have created a new account with administrative rights, which I unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Two of the times that I uninstalled Photoshop I also used the Photoshop script to make sure all of Photoshop were uninstalled. I have also cleaned the register of Photoshop before reinstalling Photoshop. Another item used to make sure there was no error with Vista was Windows cleanup installed tool.
Yesterday I checked my laptop and I am getting the same results as my PC. The most recent thing that has been updated on both the PC and Laptop was Windows updates and Camera Ram 5.4. Attached is a copy of a wierd result using clone tool. I just clicked on the image and the orange spot appeared. Is there anyone else who is having similar problems with Clone Stamp?

Have you applied the Photoshop 11.0.1 Patch?
Have you updated the video drivers?
If that doesn't help, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

So frustrated....have CS5 and whenever i try to use clone stamp, it just moves picture around. I click clone stamp, move to picture to press option, and the minute i move stamp to picture, it starts moving picture around as if there are two pictures the

Frustrated with clone stamp in CS5. Everytime I go to use it, it just moves the picture around as if I have multiple layers. Can anyone out there help with this?

Check the Clone Source palette for the options you forgot about enabling...

Problem with clone stamp in Photoshop 8 and 9

Whenever I use the clone stamp it may work alright for a while,but then it starts doing odd things like shooting off lines or dots but not the spot I had cloned. Then I have to undo the marks it has made and hope it will work right the next time. It has done this on Photoshop 8 and 9. Is this a known bug? Can anyone shed light on this problem?

George I tried your suggestion and the same thing occured. Funny thing is my original script would work ok in 9 Pro but not 9 Reader. Through trial and error I found that if I commented out 'oDoc.closeDoc();' the script worked perfect in both 9 Pro and Reader- all attachements printed.
I have tested in 7, 8, and 9 Reader and only tested in 7 and 9 Pro. Eveything works fine.
Very odd.
Does anyone know if I will run into issues not closing the documents , or are they closed automatically after printing? I don't want to run into memorty isssus down the road.
Thanks in advance for all the advice,
-Bill

Problem with Clone Stamp & Healing Brush

Once set the sample point by option clicking with either the clone stamp tool or the healing brush, I suddenly see a duplicate layer that moves with the cursor as I try to position it oveer the spot I want to fix.
I have tried resetting both tools. I am running CS6 and have experienced no other problems.
Any ideas what's wrong?

Hi RedMo53,
Your seeing the clone source overlay and you can adjust the preferences for the clone overlay by going to Window>Clone Source.
You might try clipped and see how that works.

After Effects problem with clone stamp tool

Hi,
I've been using clone stamp tool in Photoshop for years and has no problem with it. But somehow I could never get it work on After Effects. After alt+click to select source I can then click (and hold left mouse button), rub and change the target area as expected but as soon as I let go the mouse button the target area reverts back to original.
What did I do wrong?
thanks.

First question that I have for you is did you look in the help files?. Simply type clone stamp in the search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the application frame it you will find all kinds of information. There are a few good tutorials linked directly from the help file. After Effects Help | Paint tools: Brush, Clone Stamp, and Eraser
Because After Effects works with video you have to make sure you have the correct options for your clone stamp or your paint tool selected and you are working in the correct window. It is not so much that the clone stamp is not working, it is just that you probably do not have it set up correctly.

Problem with Clone Stamp Tool Transparency

Hi there, I am working in CS5 and lately when I have been drawing with the Clone stamp tool, the cloned content seems to be transparent instead of being a 100% opaque clone of the source. The tool is in normal mode but the result looks almost identical multiply mode. I am coming from CS3 and I have not run into this problem in the past. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

…and the align sample to current layer is checked on.
This implies that you need to understand what the settings actually do. You have a choice "current layer", "current and below" or "all layers". These have nothing to with Align, they are all about which layers are sampled.
"Aligned" is about where multiple clicks of the Clone Stamp sample from. How they relate to the source area that you sampled.
Opportunity to air a major complaint of mine - "Aligned" automatically keeps checking itself. Because some Grandpa (photoshop 6 or 7 can't remember) decided that Option double click should be a 'shortcut' to keep Aligned checked all the time. Because they always work with Aligned on I guess, they think everyone should. Unfortunately it means that if you are a fast and experienced user, you have to waste a fair amount of time each day locating a tiny checkbox, to turn the damn thing off again. And again. And again.

Problem with clone stamp

Hi
Problem with Photoshop CC on PC
When I try to use clone stamp near the border of the picture it copies wrong area. It always take the border when I choose near the border. I try to do the same in my old copy of CS6 and there it worked properly on the same picture.
Is this new version of Photoshop a crap???

Photos fail to print after editing with clone stamp tool and layers

After editing using the clone stamp tool and using layers the photos fail to print. I even tried a simple crop edit and the photo failed to print.
Photos print without editing.

Im working on a Mac OX 10.9.4 and Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac
I tried printing from Organizer and editor and I have the image saved on my desktop
I don't receive an error when I try to print. The message usually reads: Printing, 2% complete or 13% complete.
I have left it sit overnight but it never produced a photo.
The printer is new: HP Envy 5400 and I have no problem printing photos from I Photo.

Having Trouble With Clone Stamp

Hello!
I used the Magic extractor to take something out of a picture. It left that checkered background so I thought I would use the clone stamp to clone the rest of the background. I hit alt and then clicked what I wanted to be cloned. Then I let go of alt and started draging around on the checkered background. Nothing happened. Any ideas about what I might have done wrong?
Thanks!

Nisha,
there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to clone over transparencies (checkered areas).
If you are cloning on a new layer, make sure "Use all Layers" is checked in the Options Bar.
Also make sure the little crosshair that indicates the cloning source doesn't slip into the transparent area as well, which happens easily when you move fast. Use short strokes and unless it has to be aligned, remove the checkmark for that.

Need Help with Clone stamp

My clone stamp used to show me what I picked up before I would stamp it. Now it won't. Stopped working about a week ago. It is hard to stamp down in the exact spot you want when you cannot see what is in the stamp.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a button I need to click to get it back?
Any help is appreciated.

Make the Clone Source panel visible via the Window menu and check the [ ] Show Overlay setting.
If that's not available to you, it may be that Photoshop has decided your OpenGL implementation in your display driver isn't up to the task. You can check that by looking in Edit - Preferences - Performance and seeing if [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing is set. You may need to visit the web page of the maker of your video card and download/install an updated display driver to get your OpenGL working properly.

Problems with clone stamp

I need help? I was workimg with the clone stamp and it just stop working. I do the Alt + Click and it turn grey but nothing happen. I use the Square Marquee as much as poosible then I went to use the clone stamp and it want work. Please advise.
Thanks

Do you have an image layer selected?
A common problem is that you might add an adjustment layer or some other non-image layer, then forget to select the image layer before returning to work with the clone tool.
If this does not help, please capture your screen at the time when you find the clone tool does not work. Perhaps one of us can see what's wrong. It would be good to be able to see the Layers panel and the Clone source panel. Post the image here by using the little camera icon just above where you type.

Porblem with clone stamp tool

When I try to use the Clone Stamp Tool, I select the sample area by Alt/click but when I try to apply what is selected, all I get is a white spot. What am I doing wrong. This has worked before, I must have something set incorrectly but I can't figure out what.

On the clone tool's option bar, top left, there is a little triangle. Click on that and reset the tool.
Does that fix it?

How to stabilize tracking with Clone Stamping?

So on the set, I was unable to get a green screen for the interior car shoot to sell that the car is moving, so as far our "poor man's" process (crew shaking the van and HMI lights) and post production, how can I stablize Clone Stamp footage layer on top of another video. And yes my PC is limited to AE CS4 which is why I feel Clone Stamping is my last resort vs Rotoscoping.
The first photo is what we shot on set obviously, the second is some street footage I shot separately and the third is the idea I am trying to sell that the car is actually moving (it's not the final cropping, lol). Basically a video within a video. Thanks for reading this, would appreciate some serious technical tips or videos!

Nothing stops you from using masks and animating them to cut out the windows and then place your street footage below. You're going about this the wrong way. Stabilize both shots, do the masking, then un-stabilize again by applying the inverse motion data. There's enough tutorials on this out there.

Jumping mouse cursor movement with secondary monitor

Mouse cursor movement is interrrupted or jumps as soon as a secondary monitor is connected to my iMac. Either mouse movement direction is affected. Typically cursor movement stops for about a second while moving mouse further. Then suddenly cusor jumps either forward or backward.
As soon as secondary monitor is dicsonnected, cursor movement is perfeclty in synch with actual mouse movement.
I would very much appreciate any hints to solve this issue.
Thanks
Ole
