Lift and Stamp tool not working so well? White images!?

Here's a strange issue.
I worked on an image yesterday. Today, I want to copy the adjustments to another image in the same project. When I use the Lift and Stamp tool to copy the adjustments, the new image turns completely white. Even though I checked the adjustments and they look the same as the original one, the new image is all white.
Now the strange thing is when I adjusted another image today then used the Lift and Stamp tool, the adjustments copied over fine.
The only thing I can see which is different from the image I adjusted yesterday is that I had Aperture send that image to CS4 and I edited a TIFF which I stacked back with the original file.
I'll try to make a screencast available so you can see what's going on.
Looks like Apple's going to need to update Aperture 3 before it really comes out.

Thanks for your effort. I am stunned. Would be edifying to know what is happening! I thought it might be okay as I sometimes turn my image black after applying some change, but the black is only a temporary display problem as the image is correct the next time I go to use it; perhaps in my situation Aperture was busy generating new previews for presentation of the changes. Your white is certainly a different issue. Glad it's only an isolated incident and not happening for you on the other images.

  • Upgrade to Aperture 3.1.3 lift and stamp tool only will lift

    I upgraded to Aperture 3.1.3 and  the lift and stamp tool will only lift adjustments.  Anyone else having this issue.  Everything else seems to work fine.

    No, that was not the link I had wanted to post.  Thanks for the heads-up.  My apology to the board and to the OP.
    This is the link to another recent thread reporting problems/changes with the Lift/Stamp shortcuts after the 3.1.3 upgrade.
    The problem is that once the Lift tool is activated ("o") and an Image has been selected, the cursor does not change to down-arrow stamp tool, and clicking Images does not stamp them.
    Try this in Split View and let us know if it works.  For some (including me) this still works in Browser View.

  • Can you be more selesctive with teh Lift and Stamp tool?

    I use the lift and stamp tool a lot. Mainly on metadata. The problem is that the metadata/adjustments come in categories. You can see all the info of the pic your lifting from, and you can choose to only lift & stamp keywords or just Iptc, Label, rating etc.
    My question is, can you select one specific field from these categories?
    For example right now I only want my pictures to share Caption, but keep the information of provider and content location which varies from image to image.
    is this possible?
    Thank you in advance
    Eleni

    I don't want to delete any of the IPTC info.
    I just want to lift Caption from IPTC and leave any other IPTC info untouched in both images (lifted and stamped)
    So the image I'm lifting has a different provider from the one I want to stamp but the should all have the same caption. How can I only lift and stamp the caption?
    thank you

  • Burn and Dodge tools not working on b/w sketch scan

    Hi, I may have somehow eliminated information in an image of a black and white sketch which prevents the dodge and burn tools from working...is there a common mistake which prevents these tools from working as they normally should on a black and white image with multiple shades? (The sketch is not pure black and pure white but has multiple gray shades...it "looks" like an image on which these tools should work.)
    When adjusting Levels for the image all of its "information" seems to be clustered around the "0" point on the far left of the Levels adjustment slider, if that helps in understanding this problem....
    Did I mistakenly somewhere along the line destroy information in this image necessary for these tools to work?
    Thanks in advance

    > it would be nice if dodge and burn worked on partially transparent images. This is impossible?
    It is working properly. With a partially transparent layered image, only **some** of the visible tone is coming from the image layer. The rest is coming from whatever is showing on the layer underneath. Burn and dodge will only affect the layer you're working on. As I said, I could get get B&D to affect it a little ... and that's is exactly what it should do in this case. Because the pixels are partially transparent, B&D is only going to **partially** affect the visible tone. It's altering the pixels on the image layer, just not very much because there aren't very many pixels available.
    Peel off white does an incredible job. However, I would use it only once. The fact that the sketch becomes a bit transparent tells you it's removing image information.

  • Can't get lift and stamp tool working

    I simply can't figure out how to get the lift & stamp tool going. I keep reading and re-reading the manual. I have a loop on one track with some effects on it, and want to apply the same effects (with the same levels) to a loop on a different track.
    I click the clip whose effects I want to lift. The sound Palette opens up, but no properties are listed in the right of the Sound Palette box.
    Any tips on what I could be doing wrong?

    Update: I figured out that it only works on processed effects and not real-time effects. I see then that you're supposed to render the real-time effects as actions, but when I try to "Render to Action" the real-time effects, this option is grayed-out in the Process menu bar, so I am still unable to copy effects from the one track to another.

  • Live Paint and other tools not working?

    Hello,
    Most of the time while using Illustrator almost all my tools except for the pen tool do not work, as in the mouse icon turns into this circle with a line through it, and doesn't allow me to do anything on my layer, and it's just one layer nothing else. Why does this happen? I have a drawing that I image traced on illustrator, and would like to paint it now, but I can't use the live paint option. Sometimes the select tool doesn't select anything and it just disappears!
    Can anyone help me with this?

    I'm a complete beginner to illustrator and I thought it was just another small thing that beginners are not familiar with and that other people can relate? Anyway, I use Illustrator CC on a Mac. Here is a capture I made trying to use the brush tool:
    The cursor of the mouse doesn't show, but it is like I said, a circle with a line across. This is where the live paint doesn't work as well:
    Maybe you can spot something on my screen that I'm doing wrong?

  • Selection and Type Tools not working in InDesign CC for Mac

    I have just recently downloaded InDesign CC (I use Mac OSX.9.2) and got the World Tools plugin to typeset in different languages.
    However, I am having trouble using the selection and type tools. In about the first half of the file, the type tool displays the pointer/dashed box/I-beam icon and doesn't put the cursor in the text when I click on it. I can't click to select text as I should be able to, and if I try to click and drag, all I do is end up creating another text frame. But in about the second half of the file, the selection and type tools work the way they should.
    When I click and hold on the type tool, the cursor changes to the crosshairs icon for creating text frames and the "W: H: " dialogue box for text frames appears.
    How can I get the tools to work properly in the entire document? Is anyone else having this problem?

    @Cindy – usually all 3rd party developers will provide some information for installing and uninstalling their products. First see if you can find some information on their web sites.
    Also there should be a dedicated Adobe Extension Manager app where you can look up the installed parts of InDesign. Since I do not have InDesign CC installed, I do not know exactly, but its name should be something like "Adobe Extension Manager CC".
    If you start this app it will show all parts installed with InDesign (or other apps that are installed).
    Usually at the bottom of the list are the 3rd party installed components. They do not state "Adobe Incoroprate System" as author. Never uninstall (remove) the Adobe ones!
    Here a screen grab from my German Adobe Extension Manager CS5:
    If you select one, a new option is available at the right. In my case here the "Entfernen" button ("Remove" in English).

Here is a screen shot if that helps. Thanks

  • PS CS5 - rounded rectangle and move tool not working..?

    CS5 Photoshop
    I have just noticed that my rounded rectangle tool is not working properly. When I click and drag nothing is visible, when I release it floods my whole image with my selected color. I have tried all of the other tools and they work properly. I have tried restarting, compared settings with other tools, and checked for updates. Nothing is working and any help would be appreciated.
    Also, I have what appears to be a common problem with my move tool. I click, drag, and drop only to have the selected image snap back to its original position. I have an intuos 5 connected, is this the culprit?
    Thanks in advance...

    I can't help with the snap to edge problem, but if you select your rounded rectangle shape tool, and click on the Cog in the Options bar, I suspect you have a fixed size set, and that it is bigger than your canvas.

  • Straightening and Crop tool not working.  What to do?

    I've been working with photos all morning, and now neither my Straightening Tool or Crop Tool are working.  What to do?

    Close and re-launch Aperture.  Let us know if that doesn't take care of it.
    I try to close Aperture once an hour.  It pushes my hardware (and, likely, OS) to several of its limits.  Re-launching the program rinses out any crud that has accumulated (that's not _exactly_ technically correct, but ... ).

  • Indesign CC - tooltip on guides and drawing tools not working

    I just updated CC this morning - but the tooltip when you pull guides down or when you draw a new shape (the dimensions etc) do no longer show.
    I know you can still see this in the toolbar - but it was really handy seeing near where your cursor was aswell.
    Do I need to tick something in prefrences or has this fallen foul of the latest update and will need to be fixed in a future patch?
    Hope some else is having the issue and just not me!

    thanks Steve - that is currently ticked already and seems to not be having an affect.
    It must be a bug in the latest update as a collegue who sits next to me who hasnt run the update still gets the tool tip.

  • Eraser Tool and Pattern Stamp Tools Not Working Properly

    I recently downloaded Photoshop CC on my Mac.  I've been using Photoshop for years and don't recall experiencing these problems.
    When using the eraser tool in brush mode, I select the appropriate preset and opacity, flow etc.
    Let's say I have the brush size set at 70px and hardness at 100%.  I erase, but the area erased is only 2/3rds of the actual size of the brush.
    The same is true for the pattern stamp.  Only 2/3rds of the pattern stamp is working.
    I've tried resetting to the tools and have search all over for similar problems in the forums but cannot find a solution.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not being a Mac user I don't recall the specifics, but there is I believe a system setting for cursor size.  You may have it set larger than it should be to work with Photoshop.
