Patch tool, healing tool

My patch tool will not preview when I click and move it over to another area and when I release nothing changes. I do not know what is going wrong. The healing tool will not pull images from any other area to correct blemishes. PLEASE HELP

I'll give you a little trick as you can see the preview of the are you are patching it is possible to do a patch clone sort to speak.
it works like this.

if the angle of the clothes do not match you can copy a section and paste and then rotate the section to match and use it as the source for
the patch tool.
BTW the idea is that you have to include the contrasting areas so the do not cause a blending. even if the darker area needs no repair.

Why won't the Clone/Heal Tool remove a white spot?

After being embarrassed by failing to check the Clone/heal tool to make sure the opacity was set correctly, I am encouraged to ask another question that was not affected by the appropriate correction that made the tool work fine under most circumstances. However, using LR4 (and previously LR 3) )iMac 27 quad) at odd intervals, certain images show up with a single white spot, usually on a blue background, that cannot be removed or cloned with the LR Clone/heal tool. It can be removed with the clone tool in PS but not in LR. I don't know where the spots come from. They sometimes show up in a sequence of 3-4 or just singly. A copy of one is attached here. I don't know if this spot is an aberation in LR or from my cameras. Since it's happened with different cameras, I presume this is some problem with LR. Any comments?

OK. Now I'm doubly embarrassed! You were right again! It was a random adjustment brush stroke that I easily deleted. Now all I have to do is figure out how it got there and avoid doing it again. The same exact spot has been showing up on various images over the last few years in approximately the same place. There are no other adjustment brush strokes on the image. I guess it could have gotten there when I used the brush on other images nearby and forgot to close it before going to the Basic Development section on the new image. I'll probably never figure it out but thanks to your help I can certainly fix it now in LR. FYI, a moment ago I intentionally put a white spot in the blue with the Adjustment Brush and then tried to remove it with the Spot/Heal Tool. I discovered that without a lot of playing around I couldn't even circle the spot with the tool. I only got the hand symbol. There must be some relationship between the two that I haven't seen documented.

Why is the cloning and healing tool in lightroom 5 no longer showing the stamp where it is replacing from?

When I use the cloning and healing tool it used to show a stamp indicating where it was replacing from. It suddenly stopped working. I can still remove spots but cannot move it around to see where I could use alternate space to clone or heal.

The source should show on both Heal and Clone. Hit the H key to turn them off and on or pick one of the options in the Toolbar.

My spot healing tool gets stuck and freezes and won't keep up with the curser. I'm using LR4.

Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

Iphoto 08 image corruption- Spot heal tool

I have retouched a batch of tiff photos using the Spot healing tool. I was perfectly happy with the quality of the edit as i saved them. On reopening the images later i noticed that there are blurred/distorted marks all over the images. I can revert to the original images and undo all corruptions, including retouch edits. Again i have retouched the images and again the same problem occurs.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version. Also run Disk Utility and verify your HD. If repairs are indicated you'll need to boot into the system install disk and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Spot Healing tool in Elements 9 causes program crash

I have installed Photoshop Elements 9 on a computer running Windows 7 Professional. Installation was unevenful, and the program runs without problem until the spot healing tool is selected. Clicking over an image imperfection causes a dark circle to appear, then the whole screen goes pale, the 'busy' circle appears and everything stops. Machine operation can only be recovered by closing the application.
I have re-installed twice and the same thing happens each time.
I cannot find any other problems.
I'm reluctant to pay for this product until it works!

" it really looks as if the spot healing tool is defective."
Same problem here, Windows XP.
Paid application online, downloaded and installed program, started up and everything is working properly UNTIL
content aware function is accessed.
Program terminates by itself and reports and error to Microsoft.
Anyone knows a solution to this problem?
In search of a solution I found this thread.....

Content aware has gone from the healing tool option bar

Help the content aware box has gone from the healing tool option bar, so has proximity match & create texture. I have tried resetting tool, which didn't work, but don't know what else to try. I am new to photoshop

I think you want the Spot Healing Brush for those options.
What version of photoshop?
from photoshop cs5:

Computer crashing when using Spot Healing Tool ~ PSE9

Why does my computer "Crash" when I use the "Spot Healing" tool. While using the "Guided" edit for "Perfect Portait" every other tool works just fine, but when I go to do the "Spot Healing" it crashes. Weather I am in the "Guided" edit or to use it on it's own. This is my 1st attempt using PSE 9 and this feature. HELP!!

Try clicking on the drop down icon under the word file - then choose reset all tools.

I am running Elements 11 on Windows 8. When I use the healing tool, the entire image moves with the cursor. How do I fix??? Thanks!

With the Healing Brush Tool selected, in the Tool Options, click on Clone Overlay and check Clipped.

Oracle EBS Customization Patch Impact Analysis Tool

Hi All
There are times when you need to modify Oracle source code to achieve custom functionality. This will ideally happen once you receive a SCR approval from oracle(source code request approval).
The pitfall in this approach is that you will need to monitor the modified files very carefully for impacts. I have built a tool that is integrated with adpatch to monitor and warn of any potential impacts.
Some of you may be interested. If you have any suggestions for improvement please let me know.
http://applikast.blogspot.com/2011/08/oracle-ebs-customization-patch-impact.html
kind Regards,
Arun.

hi Hussein,
This is not certified by Oracle. This is a tool that I built on the current project when we had a situation where we got an SCR from oracle. We made modifications and they got overridden by a patch. This tool was built to prevent any such situations post go-live given that the customization was extremely crticial and it has kept us safe so far.
On a side note I had posted a couple of links to other tools that I had built but those posts seem to have been removed. Do you know why this might have happened? I am only trying to share my knowledge and tools in a broader community to help them. One of the links that has been taken off is also posted on the OAUG Configsyg site but the moderators over here seem to be a bit reluctant to let it remain. I don't quite know why.
Thanks,
Arun.

Spot Healing Tool???

I hope someone can answer my question.....
I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 to use the Spot Healing Tool but that is all I need it for so paying $160 for this product is not an option.
Is there a tool in Iphoto or some other free software for mac I can use for this same purpose, to remove blemishes or scrapes or whatever from faces in pictures?
Thanks
Patrick

I wish there were a way to delete your own posts.....
Once I played around with Iphoto I found the spot healing tool and it worked just as well as photoshop.
Awesome!!!!!!

Healing tool/brush

Hi
I have been watching some Adobe tutorials on the healing tool (both Lightroom 5) and on one there is an "feather" option yet on the other tutorial there is no such option available. The feather option looking good.
Please clarify whether the difference for me? Do you have to do something extra to bring it up.
thanks a lot
john

When you select the spot removal tool or press the letter Q there are two choices of clone or heal. Under the brush size slider is a slider to set the amount of feather. If you are using a small feather of say 15 you may need to increase the brush size above 80 in order to see the inner and outer circle when you hover your cursor on the photo. But you can safely reduce to the brush size, to what you want for the job, in the knowledge that the feather will be working. However when using a feather you generally need a larger size brush.

Elements 13 Spot Healing Tool - freezes & leaves black spot on image

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?

Hi Charles - youre a star, thats what it was, I think with the slight delay with working remotely and with a wacom tablet , the tool icon had been pressed twice. I was one down, must have been the only drop down menu I didnt try !! I wont forget that one.
Many thanks.
