Keyboard failure while using clone or healing tool

Hello there!
I've been having the annoying problem of my keyboard suddenly not working when i'm using the clone or healing tools.  The failure is accompanied by a strange "ratchet"-like noise.  Anybody know what's up?

Hmmm, I guess It could kind of sound like broken glass.
Here's my hardware specs:

  Model Identifier:    MacBookPro4,1
  Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
  Number Of Processors:    1

  Boot ROM Version:    MBP41.00C1.B03

  • I suddenly get Ghost lines appear across my while using Clone or History tool about every 4th click!

    While I'm using the Clone or History tool suddenly a straight line appears across my picture I'm working on. It's the width of the diamiter of the tip size I'm using at the time. It pops up from anywhere on the work space and connects to my curser where ever I happen to be on my next stroke when I click again. to get rid of it I need to "un do" enough to make it dalete but if working quickly I've lost some work  and thus need to redo it. VERY non-productive!! Help!

    Could you also give some information about your computer? You could post part of your system information (and REMOVE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER).
    Usually, making sure that you installed the latest updates for  Photoshop, the Operating System and Graphic card drivers fixes most issues.

But if i press alt or if i do not press it, it does not change the working of my anchor point tool or handles. When i press alt i see the little sign apearing next to my cursor and that's all. Someone an idea what could be the problem?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Clone and heal tool

    when I use the heal and clone tool I get a small image of a hand rather than a circle and the white marking doesn't seem to come out.
    what does the hand mean?
    john

    The hand cursor means you are moving the source or the destination of an existing clone area. Pressing the letter H on the keyboard will hide and show the circles, and it you still don't see it after pressing H, it's possible the radius is too high.
    Clicking "New" in the panel of the tool will start a new source and deselect the current one.
    Clone and heal locations are marked with "pins" which can also be shown and hidden via the selection in the lower toolbar "Show Pins:" which can be set to "Always," "Never," or "Auto." The Auto setting shows the pins only when your cursor is over the image.

  • Clone, spot healing tool, content aware will not work on 11 or 12

    The following tools will not work on PSE 11 or 12: clone, spot healing, content aware. Using 3 yr old iMac with latest OS. Same problem on Mac Book. I must be something wrong.

    I'm not sure what was going on. I eneded up discarding the photo I was working on and open up another one and everything worked. I guess just a little hitch in it's gitty-up!
    Thanks for your comments.

  • Yoga 2 Pro: keyboard locking while using a browser

       I have been having a very frustrating problem with my Yoga Pro 2 13. It started with keyboard and mousepad input blocking while using a browser (any browser, I tried them all), while the touch screen still worked. I would have to restart the computer to get them back to work, however, the computer would get stuck restarting (as in restart screen with the circle would circle endlessly). When I started getting BSOD, followed with the failure to boot, I sent the computer for repair. The hard disk, motherboard and keyboard were replaced, windows 8 reinstalled.,, post has to be continued belowAfter 24 hours of use, the problem reocurred (keyboard started blocking, BSOD appeared, it did not boot) and the computer was sent, yet again. This time only hard drive was replaced. I received it yesterday, updated to windows 10, and, as I feared, the same problem persists. The keyboard has blocked several times, I was not able to restart unless I was doing the power button shut off. Touch screen input is never affected during these episodes. I am extremely frustrated with the problem, and with the failure of Lenovo to fix it (even though they believe it was fixed). I can't keep sending it to the depot every 7 days, and not being able to use it in between. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to approach this problem? Thank you

  • Pause Video Keyboard Shortcut While Using Word

    I am curious if there is a way to pause a video playing on the internet while using word.
    I am watching a prerecorded lecture on Safari and taking notes in Word. It is incredibly annoying having to switch back and forth to pause the video so I can copy down what the professor says.
    It would be a huge help if I could simply hit "Command or Option Whatever" and simply pause the video without leaving Word. Perhaps modifying the F8 key (a pause button that tries to open iTunes when I hit it)?
    I really appreciate any help the community can lend. Thank you in advance.
    -Graham-

    I think the problem here is focus. The default keystroke for iTunes to play/pause will not be captured by the application unless you have the focus on iTunes.
    I have no idea how you are used to working, but if you are just taking some notes at first, can you not resize Word and place it next to the video playback window? Or perhaps if Word resizing is too difficult, use a smaller text editor to do the same, than cut and paste into your word document, post-note taking, to format, etc?
    Other than that, I don't know how to make custom shortcuts/key-assignments to create a work-around. Sorry.

  • Will upscaling or using clone stamp/healing brush to upsize give better resolution?

    I'm designing a 5.25" square CD cover using a rectangular image and the resolution needs to be min. 300ppi to print .  The artist sent me the art image (painting) from her camera as a jpeg and it goes to photoshop as a large (approx 20" X 24") file at 72 ppi.  To change the ppi to 300 without resampling (I've been told this is best), the image becomes too narrow (4 1/2") and too high (5.9"). 
    I don't want to crop because I don't want to lose content.  I want the image to completely cover the CD cover  And I want to keep the same proportions for certain parts of the image.  So I believe my two best options are as follows:
    1.  Bring the image to 300ppi with the measurements above, protect certain parts of the image on an alpha channel, content aware scale the rest of the image wider to make it square and then resize down a bit for the CD cover or
    2.  Bring the image to 300ppi and then use the clone stamp and healing brush tool or content aware fill (doesn't work so well on this image) to duplicate and extend the sides of the image to widen and square it and then resize down a bit for the CD cover. 
    Does anyone know which of these options will give the best resolution?  Is upscaling more likely to cause pixelization than the other option?  Is there a better way?  Should I do options 1 and 2 to the large 72 resolution image instead of bringing it to 300ppi first and then upscale or clone stamp--would that give better results?
    Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

    You've said that you don't want to crop, and you want to cover the entire CD cover. That leaves you with two choices. Extend the short side(s) via cloning, content aware fill, etc. or stretch the image in one direction, either with the standard free-transform or with content aware transform. See what looks best. Your resolution will be fine. You can res up if you need to. The amount you're short will not matter here. Leave room for bleed - usually 1/8".

  • Shift + command + f   very slow with cs4 clone and healing tool?

    using cs4-- i use the shift + command + f a lot to fade in or out the clone tool and healing brush.
    however in cs4 the preview is very slow-- even though i have 8gb of ram!
    the same process on the same file in cs3 is rapid-- even with only 2gb of ram-- so i assume this is a cs4 problem?
    any solutions appreciated.

    Do you mean photoshop elements 7 and not premiere elements?
    The fix posted above only applies to linux os systems, which is
    different from mac and windows.
    On windows vista Alt+left click is to set the clone source.
    Try the following steps one at a time.
    1. reset the clone stamp tool by clicking triangle on the far left of the
       tool options bar and select reset tool.
    2. Go to Edit>Preset Manager and click Done in the dialog that appears.
    3. Reset the elements 7 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys
        at the same time you start elements 7. In the dialog that appears, click yes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cannot use clone and heal brushes

    I've followed the video of how to use these brushes, but whenever I select either of them, I either get a "hand" or a small cross, neither of which allow for selecting the areas of be healed/cloned. What am I doing wrong?

    As you increase the brush size you should see a cross in the middle. That is the sampling point, e.g. the area you click on that you wish to heal or clone out. As soon as you click or drag the hand appears with the suggested area to be copied (usually a nearby sample with a similar color) You can drag the with the hand, if you prefer to copy from another part of the image and then click done.

  • Text color changes after render while using timecode generator/VF tool

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with the timecode generator/viewfinder tool. When I have both a Gaussian Blur (set on something other than Alpha + RGB) and a VF or Timecode generator effect in the filters, it seems to create a bug where the color I want for the viewfinder (REC) text shows up correctly pre-render, but changes to an arbitrary color after the render. For example, when I set the color to red, it becomes cyan after rendering. Anyone else experienced this problem or have a solution? Thanks.

  • Why does an ActiveX device cause comm failures while using Zetron 1700 and 1708?

    In lookout pocess we have installed NI's ActiveX pumps. We are using Zetron 1700 controller and Zetron 1708 RTU's. In the properties of the ActiveX item I used the Remote URL option to point it to the output of our RTU. There are times that when we click on the pump to turn it on we get a comm failure. Now if I take the same ActiveX item turn off the Remote URL and then go to the connections of the ModBus and bind that output to the ActiveX item there is will work everytime. What could the problem be???
