Pattern stamp tool scaling!

Hi there!
Here is a feature I have been missing in photoshop. I noticed you are now able to scale your clone source in photoshop CS4, which is excellent. I would love to be able to do the same thing for the pattern stamp tool!
I use the pattern stamp tool a lot for texturing, since it is quite handy to have a bunch of base textures readily available like that. I work in the games/3D industry and use photoshop a lot for texturing. Currently you can only stamp the pattern at a fixed size, so I have had to create differently scaled versions of each texture I use for the stamp tool. Having the ability to to scale the pattern would be awesome.
Best regards

Yeah, its helpful. A nice tip anyways. But it would be even better with the pattern stamp tool, because then you could mix different patterns, so its more like painting freestyle. Also in some cases I like using the non aligned version, to get a more randomized result, otherwise you get ugly repeating patterns.
An additional feature I would like is rotation /angle. If you ever have tried Maxxons bodypaint 3D you will know what I'm talking about.

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.

Clone Stamp replaced by Pattern Stamp?

I am using the student version of CS4 for Mac.
My Clone Stamp is no longer there and is replaced by the pattern stamp instead. I feel like I should be able to turn it back into the clone stamp tool, but have no idea how it even happend. Please help!

Click down and hold on the pattern stamp tool to reveal the second tool, or clone stamp. Alternatively, press shift-s to switch the tool.

Elements 10 stamp tool has disappeard.

My stamp tool had stopped working and now has disappeared as an option. The only option that remains there now is the pattern stamp tool. REALLY aggravated because I used this often. Unregistering, uninstalling, re-installing and re-registering has not corrected the issue. This makes me think twice about getting a product other than Lightroom in the future and unfortunately, Lightroom does not do this process as well. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!

On the clone tool's option bar, click on the little arrow, top left, and reset the tool. If that does not fix it, suggest that you reset preferences:
Windows
Step 1. Hold down the Alt + Ctrl + Shift keys as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Step 2. Reset the preferences as above.
Step 3. Close Elements and let the file regenerate.
Macintosh
Step 1. Hold down the Opt + Cmd + Shift keys as you click on the icon to open Elements. When asked if you want to delete the settings file, say yes.
Step 2. Reset the preferences as above.
Step 3. Close Elements and let the file regenerate.

Clone and Pattern Stamps

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 10 after my old computer crashed with Photoshop Business 1.0 that worked great for many years. Now I can't get the Clone Stamp or Pattern Stamp tools to work or I don't understand how they work. I can't make heads or tails out of any of the help areas. Actually I can't figure out how to do about 90 percent of the things I used to do with the old program. This is another case of Newer is NOT better! I'm finding it's impossible to complete the photo jobs that were simple before. The "layers" issue is killing me. Can the layers be shut off? Right now I'll be a little happier if someone can help me with the Clone Stamp and Pattern Stamp. No matter how many times I try to click with the Alt, I just get a patch of light blue and I have no idea where it came from.... .

For the clone stamp tool you should be able to alt click on the area for the source and paint on another area to copy the source to that area.
In reality if your old program is anything like older versions of photoshop then the options for the clone stamp might be a little different.
You should have aligned checked and you might want to uncheck Show Overlay.
This is a pretty good video (uses pse 9, but pse 10 is the same):
http://www.alibony.com/video/video-lesson57.htm
For the pattern stamp you don't have to define a pattern each time you use the tool if you can find a suitable pattern in the presets.
If you do define a new pattern, then you can save it as a preset if you think you'll need it later.
The directions for the clone stamp in the pse 10 help manual are not very good, but the ones for the pattern stamp tool are not bad:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f71abaa0b12e28aec742- 7fdc.html
Some videos covering the pattern stamp tool:

Some layers videos:

I'd highly recommend a book such as Photoshop Elements 10: The Missing Manual.

Problem using the clone stamp tool in cs6 64 bit

I am trying to use the clone stamp tool, however each time I alt click on a PC runing system 7- 64 bit and try to clone an area, I get a window stating that I have not defined an area. Alt clicking again does not solve the problem. I work in a computer lab and this option works fine on our Macs using option click in PS CS6.

If »Show Overlay« is checked in the Clone Source Panel is the cursor showing the source imagery?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Acrobat stamp tool!

Hello Guys,
Good day!
I have a small question to know if it is possible. In acrobat 'STAMP' tool is great option. I use often this tool. I would like to know, if there is any possibility to scale the stamp to certain value. For example I want to scale 150% current stamp. How can I do this?
currently I am scaling the stamp manually. But if there is possibility to give certain value, that would be helpful to me.
For your information: i use my own stamps (not from the default adobe). OSX 10.7.2. Acrobat X.
Please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
FroQ

It's possible with JavaScript to add a custom toolbar button to Acrobat. When clicked, the button would execute the code that does what you want. What you want will involve some moderately complicated scripting, so it can't really be fully explained here. If you're not familiar with scripting for Acrobat, you might want to look for someone who can do this for you if you think the developement cost would be worth the benefit.
I can't think of another way to do what you want short of a custom plug-in, but that would be a much bigger project.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Photoshop Elements 8. "Could not use Clone Stamp Tool because of a program error." Please help.

Try this:
Open your picture file
Access the clone stamp tool
Hold down the ALT key on the keyboard and left click on the area from which you wish to clone, then release the ALT key, and click to place the pixels at the destination
TIPS:
It is a good idea to open a blank layer at the top in the layers palette, and do the cloning on this layer. Be sure that "sample all layers" at the top is checked. You can change the layer opacity if necessary
Use the bracket keys next to the letter p on the keyboard to increase & decrease the size of the cursor
Let us know how you make out with the error message now.

"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...

Photoshop CS5 Clone Stamp Tool option-click just stopped working, why?

I've been using clone stamp tool option-click (healing brush option-click also) on Photoshop CS5 on my Mac 10.6.5 and it stopped working suddenly on Monday. Had just used it on Sunday. So, I've tried to isolate the problem.
1. Went to Apple store and my keyboard and mouse work fine on their inhouse systems running Photosochop CS5. Problem still exists on home system.
2. Adobe photoshop suggested I go back to Mac 10.6.3. I did and problem still exits.
3. Reset all presets in CS5. Problem still exists.
4. Spent several hours with Adobe Photoshop tech on phone -- he couldn't make it work remotely either using his keyboard. Reloaded Photoshop from scratch. Problem still exists.
Question:
Could this be a hardware problem? Graphic board problem?
Or is this a software problem aside from Mac OS and CS5?

Hi Joan
It sounds like you are not having fun at all : )
>I talked with a for fee Mac guru today who says I need to wipe slate clean and install operating system from scratch since I did not use time machine.
.....you ever notice how easy it is for a consultant to tell you what to do when they don't have to do it?
..... I wonder why the guru thought your system was gone if your new user account was working?
If your new user account is working.... why not use it? The system seems fine but something went screwy with the settings in your original account.
hopefully someone else will chime in here with more insight before you start from scratch.

Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

PSE6 crashes when using Clone Stamp tool

Hi! I'm new to PSE and have a standard install of 6.0 - no addons. I've been using the editor for just a couple of days now, but I have experience with other graphic editors.
I've just started using the Clone Stamp tool. I've cut out a background from a photo, put it into a new file using New>From Clipboard, and am using the Clone Stamp tool to paint background over the edges of the cut.
So, start Photoshop in edit mode, open picture (.psd created above), select clone stamp tool, right-click and select 100 pixel brush from default palette, place brush some way away from the edge and Alt-click to set "From" point, then move the brush next to edge, click, and start painting over the edge. All OK. Now, move the brush to the right-edge of the picture and start painting so the edge of the brush goes outside the picture a little. This is where it crashes for me. It may be that it's actually the from area that is outside the picture that causes the problem.
Does anyone else get this problem?
Now I'm going back to try again taking great care along the right-hand edge to try and stop it crashing!
Alan

Hi Alan,
is it still crashing for you? I tried the same steps and works fine for me. Are you working on Windows/Mac?

Enable Stamp Tool in PDF Form Created in LiveCycle

I've created a form in LiveCycle to send to users for their own use in completing/saving using Acrobat Reader. Is it possible to enable the use of the stamp tool for their use within the PDF form? Or, alternately, can I embed an image field in the LiveCycle form that would allow them to click to add an image to the form?
Thank you ......

There is an image Field object that will allow you to click it and choose an image.
