Photoshop CS3 Spot Healer Problems

Hi guys,
I'm trying to remove eyebags using the spot healing tool. I'm a big time newbie so been watching a youtube tutorial but i just get this strange appearance. Take a look! I did the correction over where the white bit is! Can anyone help?

Can anyone help? I really have no idea how to fix this!

  • Photoshop CS5 Spot Healing Brush only blurs

    Here's a before and after shot.  I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great. 
    Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove. 
    As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
    I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem.  Left side is before and right side is after. 
    I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket.  You can see that it's not working.  I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5
    Any assitance anyone is able to afford me is greatly appreciated.

    In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with your choice of Spot Healing Brush for this image. I cropped your screenshot to the "BEFORE" image, removed the "BEFORE" type (with the SHB) and scaled to 600% to match your original document.
    A dab of a 0% hardness 500 pixel Spot Healing Brush in Ps CS5.1 on OS X 10.6.8 worked perfectly. However, I would have made a vertical stroke with the brush at about 80% hardness and about 200 pixels, which also works for me.
    Maybe your SHB is working in "Create Texture" mode despite specifying "Proximity Match" in Options bar. Try resetting the SHB by right-clicking its icon at left of Options bar and picking "Reset Tool" from the menu that appears.

  • Another photoshop CS3 and Yosemite problem

    Upgraded iMac to OS x 10.10.1 and now find that Photoshop CS3 (606) crashes after launch. It seems to make progress to the point where the menu bar is presented and then crashes. I've searched for others with this problem and tried various recommended fixes such as re-installing Java SE6, Java for OS X 2014-001, running the 'Reinstall Photoshop' utility . . . no change. Crash report includes;
    Crashed Thread:        15
    Exception Type:        EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes:       KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
    Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    This is a user-to-user forum, so no one here works for Apple. None of us have any idea what they have running behind the scenes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see like the rest of us. It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to speculate about unannounced or unreleased products, but the Macworld Expo starts in San Francisco in a little more than two weeks. In the past, Apple has released software updates at the same time as the expo to support new software and hardware. No one here can speculate if this will include the update you're looking for, however.

  • Photoshop CS3 and Mavericks problem?

    Using photoshop CS3 in Mavericks and I get a ‘can't save file because it is already in use or was left open’ message when I try and save a photoshop file.
    Found a fix online which is to turn off ‘Show preview column’ in show view options, but this is a pain because I like to have the preview with image and file info.
    Is there a way around this, seems a strange way to get around this problem.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended Activation Problem

    Hi all, hoping someone can help me.
    I have a legitimate hard copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended which was only recently taken out of its sealed package.
    On installing and trying to activate I get an error. Now i am left with a window telling me "Registration Unsuccessful"
    Any ideas how i can go about solving this? I legally own this copy and I need to use it and can't do with it deactivating.
    Thanks in advance for any help given. It's very much appreciated!

  • Photoshop CS3 Color Range Problem

    I am having an issue with the color range selection tool in Photoshop CS3 on an iMac G5 running Snow Leopard.
    I've been using this tool for years and it's always worked properly until now. It no longer selects the color I've picked with the eyedropper. The only time it works properly is when I set the image to grayscale mode. In any other mode, it selects erratically, like the image below. Those are clean rectangles I created with the paint bucket, so I'm not sure where the lines selected in the Color Range view are coming from. Adjusting
    "Fuzziness" doesn't help. The image is set to 8bits. Any ideas?
    I've tried using the color range on another computer with the same settings and it works fine.

    Is the Eyedropper Tool set to Current Layer in the Options Bar?
    If nothing else helps you can always try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed).

    When I go to "file information", enter info and click "OK" or "Cancel" nothing happens.  The screen remains.  Only by Quit Photoshop does the screen disappear.  Any thoughts, please?  This did not occur before the download of the new OS.
    Thanks for any help.

    I tried the link and clicked on photoshop cs3. I got the download dialog.  Maybe the server was down or you could try a different browser. I had the idea your CS3 install was working on your previous OSX and the upgrade to Yosemite broke it. I'm skeptical that a repeat would get different results, but if you're willing to chance it, why not?
    roaringapps.com is the place to go when checking if some Mac app will run on Yosemite and they passed it.

  • Photoshop CS3 memory release problem

    Hi,
    I have been working on a large group of DNG's and I'm noticing that as I proceed through the edits my computer memory seems to be 'not releasing'. Example: Select photo, process it in RAW, open it in Photoshop CS3, edit, save and CLOSE the image. My computer memory does not seem to be refreshed when I close the image and eventually, after several images, I have to close the application to retrieve the memory. I am running on a PC Vista with 3 gig of memory (max my operating system will work with).
    If anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate them.
    Thanks,
    J.

    It won't use only 75%, either. It
    i allocates (i.e. reserves)
    75% at opening if prefs are set that way, but will use all the RAM that the system has available if necessary. That's the reason you don't set ridiculous memory allocations of 90-100% in prefs (unless you have more than 2GB of RAM, which is PS current maximum) - there's no free RAM for the system to use after Ps launches in that case, so only virtual memory remains for the system and everything will slow or crash.
    Once PS has used all available RAM (not only its allocated RAM), then it will start writing scratch - which is also set up and waiting at opening. I'm assuming PS was set up this way for initial speed - if it has RAM already allocated at opening it will not have to waste processor time calling for RAM.
    It took me a while to get around the concept of all this, but I think I understand it now - it is in fact very well thought out for maximum speed and stability.

  • Photoshop CS6 spot channel problems

    When I save a file created in Photoshop CS6 that has SPOT color channels it is converting the SPOT color channels to ALPHA channels when my customers are opening them into an older version of Photoshop.  This has never been a problem with earlier versions of Photoshop.
    Has anyone else had this problem and is there a solution?
    I don't know if it is a bug in CS6 or it is a setting or something I am not finding. I have never had to set anything before this version and I have been through anything I could think of to try & discover something, but no luck.
    Any help would be really appreciated as this can't keep happening.  I have had to be on the phone walking them through the steps to convert the ALPHA channels back to SPOT channels but do not have the time nor should I expect my customer to have to do it.
    Running Windows 7
    Help please!- Thank you

    I'm having the same issues and it seems this just started happening after the most recent update because this wasn't happening for the last couple months I've had CS6. Not only that I actually lost 4 hours of work after it didn't save the spot channels at all and just saved the original image (it's technically supposed to be impossible to do this without making a copy). On top of that now when my clients try to open my PSD files in previous versions it says they do not have the correct color books even though I'm not using spot colors (this did not happen before the update. I've sent several files in the past couple weeks). I'm not sure what they did recently but it really screwed things up.
    I'd like to know if anyone has a work around for the color book problem short of asking my clients to buy and install the new color books. I'm having to send the spots as EPS DCS files, so they can open it. It's always a headache when you upgrade and none of your clients do. Why can't they make this stuff work backwards?

  • Photoshop CS3 beta + Aperture problem

    Is anyone having any trouble with photos in Aperture that were altered in the new PS CS3 beta?
    I sent a photo to CS3 and added a few adjustment layers and when I saved, the thumbnail in Aperture appears as if it's inverted... like a negative. And the full screen version is much higher contrast than the PS version. Exporting a jpg shows the same problem. However, when I open that same image in PS again (using the open in external editor command), everything shows as fine.
    Possibly just a bug since CS3 is still in beta?

    Matthew,
    You can get this type of effect if you're using Alpha Channels in CS, CS2 etc. Did you by any chance save the image with an additional alpha channel?

  • Photoshop CS3 & Mac Leapard Problem.. Type Tool question mark

    I am having a problem that I cannot figure out. I just bought this software and was able to use it a couple of times before it started doing this.
    The problem is when I use the Type Tool and choose a color it will show a question mark (?). When I type you cannot see anything. Its like it can use any color.
    The Masked Type Tool works fine, but whenever I use the regular type tool I cannot change the color or even see what i'm typing!

    On my old iMac G5, with Leopard and CS3, sometimes the color picker would freeze my whole machine.
    When I bumped the RAM up to 2Gb, that went away.
    Unfortunately, the G5 processor cooked about two weeks later, but PS ran fine for those two weeks.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Leopard problem changing number values in the tools

    I know that Adobe has mentioned on their site that this is a known problem and that the fix is going to come from a Leopard update. I have not seen anything on this problem from the Mac side so I am wondering when a fix can likely be expected. The Adobe link is http://www.adobe.com/support/pdfs/PhotoshopCS3_LeopardIssue.pdf
    Any clue?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    This is a user-to-user forum, so no one here works for Apple. None of us have any idea what they have running behind the scenes. I'm afraid you're just going to have to wait and see like the rest of us. It's against the Terms of Use of the Apple Discussions to speculate about unannounced or unreleased products, but the Macworld Expo starts in San Francisco in a little more than two weeks. In the past, Apple has released software updates at the same time as the expo to support new software and hardware. No one here can speculate if this will include the update you're looking for, however.

  • Photoshop CS3 Installation Problems

    A customer has purchased Photoshop CS3 & is having problems installing on Vista Business
    If I logon to the Users PC as Administrator & install it there, what steps will I need to take to access it from the Users account
    Thanks

    Well, who told you it was for a Mac? If you bought it at a retail store, you should be able to take it back there and exchange it for a Mac copy. If you bought it used, you should demand a refund from whoever you bought it from.
    Of course, that is all assuming it's actually a Windows copy, and there's not something else going on... What does it say on the CD? My Photoshop Elements CD is very clearly labeled "Macintosh."

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 Bridge

    I finally succeeded installing photoshop CS3. My problem now is Bridge is buggy the only mode that I can use is light table,when I change modes the interface breaks up and I have small broken up ikons every time I try to get a thumb nail to open. Photoshop seems to be ok. Lightroom works great and I never had any problems with PS CS2. CS3 beta worked great.

    Adobe forums have some tips on installation and upgrade, as does MacFixit. Sometimes just a matter of cleaning the cache folders is all.

  • Photoshop CS3 crashing when opening or saving files

    I wonder if anybody here know why this problem won't disappear even after reinstalling my Photoshop CS3? Whenever I try to open a file (any image format) or save by using Cmd+O, Cmd+S or the File menu in Photoshop, Photoshop is crashing. Brutal crash, goes down. This means I can't save anything I create. Exporting via "export to web" is working, but I can't save (or save as) PS documents.
    I have deleted all prefs files etc, and reinstalled Photoshop CS3, but that did nothing.

    Hi. To read about application crashes, you can look at http://www.tekserve.com/service/mac-faq/crashes-freezes/application-unexpectedly -quit.php and follow the suggestions in http://www.tekserve.com/service/mac-faq/crashes-freezes/application-troubleshoot ing.php. In particular, I would check for updates to your Photoshop application. The disk installed version of Photoshop CS3 had various problems with Leopard. As I remember, one of the problems was crashing when using the Open and Save dialog boxes. If for some reason you can't update to the latest version of CS3, or you're already at the latest version, you could try going into the Photoshop preferences and seeing if there is a toggle for Adobe dialog boxes vs Apple dialog boxes. I recall CS3 having such a setting but I can't find it in CS4 right now. I also recall having a similar problem with CS3 and Leopard until I ticked that checkbox one way or the other. Good luck!
