How do I use the cookie cutter tool?

I have a lot of questions to ask on how to use this program. I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8, and I can't seem to get the tools to work. I click things on and nothing happens or I get a buzz indicating that whatever it is I want to do, I can't. I went to the cookie cutter tool and clicked that on. I figured out how to pick a shape, but then what? No matter what I clicked, nothing happened. How do I get it to work? I have a book called 'Teach Yourself Visually Adobe Photoshop Elements 8' and the pages are very clear, but whatever options are given in the book, I can't find in my program. I am sure part of the problem is that i have this program on a Mac. Maybe the Mac version doesn't work like the PC version. I can't seem to find any directions for this. I clicked on help and it brought me to a web page for Mac Photoshop Elements 8, and I did a search for 'cookie cutter' and nothing came up. I also looked at all the options available for help and didn't see any 'cookie cutter' tool instructions. How can I learn how to use this software? Thanks for any help.

I don't remember what the directions were yesterday, when I was experimenting with Photoshop, but I believe that the directions told me to use the custom shape tool, but I couldn't find it. It said to click on the rectangle, and a menu would come up, but no menu came up. So I thought I would just experiment and click on 'cookie cutter' and see what would happen when I clicked on it. I tried using some keyboard shortcuts to see what would happen (just trying to figure out how to get something to work) and at the web site for Photoshop for Mac, it said to click 'Q' (I can remember what was supposed to happen), but I clicked 'Command' and 'Q' at the same time and it closed the program! The web site didn't say which other key to use with the Q, and nothing happened when I just clicked the Q. Another thing I was trying to do was to make something in Photoshop (this was on another web site) and I had to go to 'window' then the next step was to go to 'channel' and click it on. I went to window and there was no 'channel' in the drop down menu. There were other options, but no 'channel'.

Using the cookie cutter tool

I am having trouble cropping a photo with the cookie cutter tool. When I drag a shape over my photo, my photo disappears, leaving the gray/white checkerboard. Any advice?

From the nature of your question I think that you have posted in the wrong forum. Somehow your thread was posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If your thread question is as I believe a Photoshop Elements question, then please re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to move your thread from here to there.

PSE 6 for Mac: Only have one shape in the Cookie Cutter tool

I just installed PSE 6 for Mac and am getting familiar with it. When I tried to use the Cookie Cutter tool, I have no choices (no black arrow next to the star in the toolbar) and it always is a 'heart' (cute, but was hoping for more choices). Any suggestions on why this is, and how to repair? Thanks in advance for any help...

Actually, I found the answer...disregard my question. Newbie error. Thanks for understanding!

In Photoshop 2014 how do you use the clone stamp tool and keep the image panel from moving

I don't quite know how to use the clone stamp tool in the Photoshop 2014 version. When I click on the clone stamp it creates a duplicate of the image and it moves around and I can not apply the clone stamp to the area I want to correct. How do you lock it down to keep it from moving?

Hi Smoothery4501,
The Photoshop clone stamp tool allows you to copy one area of an image and copy it onto another area.
Click on the clone stamp tool then press the alt key on the keyboard and click on the image to define a source point.

How can I use the burn/dodge tool in pencil mode?

help please?

I don't believe you can the pencil tool per se with the actual dodge/burn tools, but you could make a
new layer (Layer>New>Layer), fill with neutral color and set the blend mode to overlay or softlight (depending on how strong you want the effect)
Then use the pencil tool to paint with black for Burn and white for Dodge on the new layer.

Cookie Cutter Tool in Photoshop Elements 11

I am unable to make a shape from a photo using the Cookie Cutter Tool. I duplicated the photo. Clicked on cookie cutter icon. Created shape. Clicked on green check mark. The new layer is transparent. I cannot make the shape appear. Thanks. Helen

Hi Joe,
Thanks so much for your response.
The shape does not appear on the duplicate layer once I click the green check mark.
I clicked the eye symbol on the original layer per your suggestion. The second layer is a checker board, which I understand indicates transparency.
The shape does not show at all in this second (duplicate) layer.
I know this will be a V-8 moment once I realize what I have done. Thanks again.

How do you change radius with rounded square cookie cutter tool?

The radius on the cookie cutter tool is a bit too much for me. I need rounded corners, but smaller radius. 10px if possible.
Any help would be great, as I am very new and using Photoshop Elements 10

There's not an easy way to do that, so you may have to use the Rounded Rectangle Tool instead.
Grouped with the other shape tools in the toolbox.

How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

Thanks for the tip, but like I said, I dont want to always have to use the arrow keys. Is it not possible to actually DRAG one pixel at a time? I recently upgraded to CC from CS3 and I keep running into things that feel like a downgrade. Super disappointed.
Our posts overlapped there. Are you saying you could reliably drag one pixel with CS3?
What other issues are you having? Things like the Crop tool can feel strange at first, but I promise you you'll never want to use Classic mode once you get used to it.

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to use the quick selection tool in Photoshop Elements 12 but it keeps getting stuck on minus. I've reinstalled twice and it will work for a little while and then get stuck again. When I select something, I have one shot at it and as soon as I let go of the mouse it switches to minus and I can't add anything else. How do I fix this?

When a tool misbehaves, go over to the far upper right corner of the tool options area and click the four-lined square. Choose Reset Tool from the popout menu.

Q: I don't understand how to use the teeth whitening tool in PSE 9.

I've been going through the tutorials and following along pretty good but i got to the Perfect Portrait guided edit and didnt' get how to use the Teeth Whitening tool...it seems to select the teeth but then I'm lost....what am I supposed to do at that point after the marching ants are marching around the teeth?

I’m not sure what’s going on, but obviously something is not happening.
You could also try the dodge tool (keep pressing the letter O on your keyboard) until you see the blue dodge tool. No selection necessary.
Enlarge your image to about 200% and use the square bracket keys to increase or decrease the cursor size to fit the area to be whitened. Set exposure in the options bar to about 50%. Gently brush over the teeth area until you get them as you like.

"Could not use the clone stamp tool because of a program error". How to fix this fault?

When I try to use the Clone Stamp Tool I am met with the message shown above. I have tried in all the ways I could find to beat this: different photos, switched the computer off and on again, run a de-bugging program through it (Advanced System Care 5 Pro) and Microsoft's own stuff. The problem exists solidly and, without one of its most important picture repair tools Photoshop is pretty much useless.
I have just set this new Photoshop Elements 10 program up on my Windows 7 (64) laptop. I have plenty of memory and a large enough hard drive; the machine is fairly new, stable and does not usually suffer from programming problems. I have found nothing on any of the Adobe Forums, or in other sites, to give me a hint as to what has caused the problem other than a bad program disk. My first conclusion was that I should reinstall the program, but it appears that I will then lose one of my two registration rights, that strikes me as being ridiculous as reinstallation is surely the most logical thing to do with a potentially faulty program disk! But I would have to uninstall to reinstall, and that's when the the second registration cuts in I am advised. I have tried every way I can think of to beat this to no avail. I'll be truly grateful if someone can help me out on this. Thank you!

Thanks guys! I'm afraid that I'm still not sure: I've been told that uninstalling - after of course deactivating - amounts to a life gone... Yet according to the set of licence rules Adobe has, you're allowed to copy programs in a mirror image which, of course, would be used for a clean wipe - and surely that contradicts their set of rules? The rules seem to imply that that would be okay: no life lost. My concern is that through no fault of my own I have what appears to be a duff program; it's out of warranty now (my fault - I didn't install it until I could buy a more heavy-duty laptop). If the rule is "two-strikes-and-your-out, then I lose my last reactivation after THIS installation. I will get in touch with Adobe - but I live in the UK, and therein lies the problem: the equivalent of $39 dollars for the chat and whatever else it might cost is off-putting to me I'm afraid. If I could find out whether or not Adobe has a patch or something I would be a lot more happy about it all - the reinstallation after all may NOT cure the problem and I'd be stuck with a bunch of coffee cup coasters! Hey, ho...

How do I join two letters using the shape builder tool?

I am making a sign for my logo. The 'i' in my script face is long and overlaps the following letter which the sign maker's router will not read. So I would like to be able to use the shape builder tool to join the 3 instances where the letter 'i' appears each to the following letter. No luck so far. I have turned the type into points. I have highlighted the first instance, 'i' and 'c'. but the shape builder tool shows a circle with a line through it... not working.
Anyone have an idea?

It may take a combination of some of the Pathfinder tools, such as: Intersect, Merge, and Unite. And, it may be a matter of manually going in and deleting some anchor points in the outlines. Do some experimenting on copies of the instances. Might be a process of elimination.

HANA XS - How to fix Inactive Testing issue of items not loading (when using the cookie)

Is anyone else having issues with the inactive testing using the cookie (sapXsDevWorkspace)? My team has abandoned using it because it is causing us a lot of trouble. It initially worked well for a few hours, but eventually it stopped loading resources. We got errors loading the SAP js libs or even the newly commited ( but not activated) code changes.
I have seen the feedback on SCN post http://scn.sap.com/thread/3517042 but we cannot seem to fix the issue of the system not loading things. I am on version SPS7 (1.00.70.00.386119) on AWS and I have seen it work for a short period then it seems to get flaky and stop working. I don't understand what is causing the error to occur as I cannot make it do the same thing twice.
Here are some screenshots:
Cookie defined in Chrome
Repository Name with my user:
This is the result:
Sometimes it loads more of the files and fails later:
I verified that I logged in under the same user and the cookie name. The system has developer_mode set to true. Is there something we're missing?
Jim Giffin.

Hi Jim, Hi Matthias
we are facing the exact same problem with our project.
Jim, we had the same phenomenon that it worked for 1-2 reloads and then stopped at all.
After looking into it, I figured out, that the browser was using cached files from all resources except from the "inactive" new files, which we could access with the cookie. This made it work, however, when we refreshed again, the browser eventually removed its cache and tried to load inactive versions from files that didn't had any.
We ended up in empty responses (no content, no headers)
We are really looking forward to find some answers here, as it constantly causes trouble to work with multiple developers on the same activated code base.
Any input or suggestions are appreciated.
Best Regards,
Axel
