Problem cloning dark spots in PSE8

I am not very well versed in Photoshop so pardon the horrible explanation! I am trying to remove a rope from a wrestling room wall. I can clone it out just fine while working on the white part of the wall, but as soon as I reach the black part of the wall it's like the clone stamp stops working. The same thing happened last week while trying to clone in some hair on another photo- worked fine on the white backdrop, stopped working on the black. Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this problem? I know I have done this before, but I'm guessing now it was just dumb luck that it worked.

THANK YOU!!! I don't know how it got set to lighten but that was the problem!!

  • Anyone ever had black spots or dark spots?

    anyone ever had black spots or dark spots on their ipods screen. Any gen.

    I have the same problem theres dark spots under the screen and it no longer works. Ipod will not fix it even though i took very good care of my ipod and it dosent even have the slightest scratch on the exterior. I think ipod should fix this because it is obviously a defect and not caused by abuse.

  • Impressive iMac 24" Dark Spots

    Sorry to repeat. But I don't understand why what I posted yesterday disappeared.
    My story is long to write down. I hope any of you who got experience with dark spots/patterns on iMac screens can help me to look into the problem I appreciate your help.
    The associated pictures of this post can be found here in my google album:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/zhangchao/IMacDarkSpots?feat=directlink
    I purchased my iMac 24 inch in July 2008. After using it for 2 months, I noticed some dark patterns started to appear on the machine’s 24 inch screen. I should have taken it to Apple back then if I wasn’t using it all the time.
    These patterns become clearer if you set the background to white. A lot of iMac users have reported similar problems. Actually, if you google "iMac dark spot", you can find a lot of such posts. The patterns I got are very similar to what’s reported here in the very first picture here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1915086&tstart=15
    I contacted Apple two weeks ago when I finally got some time free. I was asked to go to the Apple Store here in Milwaukee’s Bayshore mall and left my machine there for 3 days for them to investigate. When I went to the store to pick up my Mac, I talked to the gentleman who did the repair and investigation work and a manager. They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine. The substance was circulated between the layers of glass cover and the LCD etc appearing to us as the dark spots. However, it’s easy to remove the stuff between the LCD and the glass cover but impossible to remove the stuff which got into the LCD.
    They strongly suspect the white substance came from where I placed my machine (my living room indeed). They don’t think the “white substance” is hair or fiber. It’s like pure dust and very subtle. Since they believe the cause of the problem is environmental, they will not fix it for me under my warranty.
    But I disagree and I think the white substance indeed comes from inside of the machine.
    Overall, I think my apartment is pretty clean. The machine is always placed on a wooden table which I clean every week. There aren’t a lot of things around my iMac so it gets good air circulation.
    My apartment is located in an apartment community. Hundreds of people live here. The community is not new (20+ years old) and is professionally maintained. I talked to the manager of the community and some of my neighbors, none of them have ever heard of anything similar.
    In my apartment, I have never been able to observe the "white substance" anywhere aside from the iMac. I did some investigation into the case, placing some blue tape under the hole of the back of the iMac where air comes out. After doing that for over one week, the only place that I can observe any "white substance" is on the piece of blue tape. The pictures in the album will make everything clear. This makes it really hard for me to believe the problem is environmental. In addition to that, if the "white substance" is so subtle and so weird (as if the only purpose of its very existence is to get iMac into trouble. Other computers and electronic devices in my apartment are completely fine), how can so many people got similar dark patterns on their screens?
    However, Apple doesn't take this as evidences that the problem is not environmental. Right now, I am gonna buy air purifiers and hire professional indoor air inspectors to help me to find where the trouble is.
    I read several posts re "iMac dark spots" problems. Some lucky guys simply got their screens replaced by Apple and others were just left with no help.None of them actually gives detailed explanation of the cause of their problems. I notice most of reported problems happen to iMac 24 inch machines shipped in early and mid 2008.
    If you have any insights, please let me know. I greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

    Since you purchased your iMac in July of 2008, you are right on the edge of your one year limited warranty.
    Go here https://selfsolve.apple.com/GetWarranty.do and see if you iMac is still within the one year limited warranty. You will need the serial number which is located... click the Apple Menu then click About This Mac. Where you see the Version number 10.5 click there twice. The serial number will be displayed there. If you can't see it there, open the System Profiler. (Applications/Utilities) Select Hardware on the left. The serial number is on the right.
    If it were me, I'd take the iMac back to that Apple store and *ask to speak to a manager*. Tell them you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your first visit and want your iMac repaired.
    Make sure and take in your original purchase receipt from when you purchased the iMac and any other pertinent paperwork.
    *"They basically told me that I got the patterns because there was some weird “white substance” everywhere in my machine."*
    I don't believe that.
    This problem started within 2 months of using your iMac. It would take the force of an F1 tornado to get that much dust inside the monitor that fast.
    If you still can't get that Apple store to repair your iMac, if you can, go to another Apple store OR find an Apple certified repair provider. Perhaps you know of a friend with a Mac that might be able to give you some recommendations for a place to take it. But make sure they are Apple certified.

  • Dark spot on screen when using rear camera and phone shutting down randomly at 20% power

    I probably already know the answer to my question but my nearest apple store is 2hrs drive away so just want to know has anyone experienced the same issues and if so what was their resolution?
    I noticed last week when i went to use the camera that the phone randomly shut off even though I had near 20% batter power, it then would not switch on again without me plugging it in to charge. I am always careful with charging and discharging the battery, ive done resets and a restore but the issue is still there snd today i noticed the dark spot on the screen and subsequently on the photo when using the rear camera - its definitely not there when using the front facing camera.
    If i go to the apple store will they swap it out (still plenty of warranty)? I cant do it by post as I need my phone at all times and dont have a cc to do the express service return!!!
    Thanks in advance

    I've had this same problem. I called apple about it and they said that it seems to be a current problem with a lot of peoples phone. The only question that I have, if anyone can answer, is that Apple is supposed to send me a new phone to replace mine but I am wondering if it will be the 3G or the old model, which is what I already have. If anyone knows then let me know, but Chennie, just call apple and they will help you out.

  • Dark spot behind pixels

    So my T61p has a bizarre dark spot behind the pixels, as it shifts depending on one's point of view- it is darker than it should be, though not totally black (i.e. on white it shows as sort of greyish, and on black it shows up darker, as well)
    A few months ago in another location it developed two light spots, but it wasn't bad enough to warrant going without a laptop until repaired, but this new development is a little more noticeable.  Are there any fixes for this that can be done without sending it for repairs? Also, if the screen is to be replaced, is there an estimate of cost and time?  As a graduate student, it would be quite difficult to go for any time without my laptop, as it is my primary computer, and is used for my research and data collection.
     Currently I am running JScreenFix, although that is to be used primarily for dead or stuck pixels, and I don't think this is the case here.
    Cheers

    Contact Apple in the UK. They will resolve the problem.

  • Dead Pixels/Dark spot?

    I was just working on some homework on my macbook pro and all the sudden I noticed this dark spot/dead pixel in the right center of my screen. At first I thought my screen just got dirty, but that was not the case. Can anyone tell me what this is... and if apple will cover this?

    http://home.comcast.net/~eddie8t/DSC00534.JPG

    ****... well here is the weird thing... there hasn't been any sort of blunt force or anything even close to that, that happened to my laptop. I make sure that if I ever take it out that it is gentally set down. I have the laptop sleeve as well as a laptop bag.
    The only thing I can think of is that maybe when I sent my Macbook Pro into Apple to get the logic board replaced that somehow some sort of pressure was applied to the screen to cause this. Would the problem that I'm having appear several days/weeks/months after the actual day when some sort of pressure is applied to the screen? I think this whole dead pixel or whatever it is happened sometime within the past 3-4 days in which my laptop has been sitting here on my desk with nothing stacked on top of it.

  • Dark spot (not sure if it is a dead pixel).

    I have a dark spot in my menu bar. I'm not sure if it is a dead pixel... it almost look like if there is dust inside my screen. Do you have something to recommend to take it away?

    If you have not already solved your monitors problem, you can try PiXel Check, to see if you have any dead or stuck pixels.

  • Mysterious dark spots

    A few months ago, I took my macbook pro into the apple store because it had a series of grayish spots on the monitor. They were kind of like dirty spots on the screen I could never wipe off, which of course, annoyed the **** out of me. They told me dust got lodged behind the LCD screen, or something similar-- I have no clue how that could happen, because I don't use it in a particularly dusty environment, and there isn't a crack or large opening anywhere on the upper case. They replaced it and I was happy. Now... a week ago, I noticed the mysterious dark spots on my display. This is after I decided to wrap my computer in a nice plastic speck cocoon and take as much care as possible with the monitor. I don't clean it with anything other than deionized water. I don't put heavy things on top of my closed notebook. They're back... and growing in size. I'm thinking of taking my computer back to the apple store and getting the monitor replaced AGAIN. Now, if I do this... I want to know: how do I avoid this? What am I doing to my poor computer that causes it to collect dust inside the monitor? I don't want to keep doing this.

    Well, you know the saying, sh...er...poop happens... ? Back when the PowerBook G4 came out there was a similar problem, where the screen would get either white splotches or dark, unlit, areas. My PBG4 had to go thru not one, not two, but FOUR screen replacements, till they figured that the motherboard was causing the failures. And that was within the first year warranty. Needless to say, I was more than eager to purchase AppleCare before that first year ran out!
    After the last screen & motherboard replacement, it is still perfectly pretty and that's been almost 4 years, although since I bought the MBP last March, it doesn't get as much use. So, the moral of the story is that you may have had bad luck in getting a pair of bad parts, or the problem may lie elsewhere and the splotches are just a symptom. But you did pay for a good working computer, so don't be shy of using the warranty service. And do consider the benefits of the two additional years of coverage under AppleCare, if you plan on keeping the Mac past the first year; remember it is transferable, so it can also be a good selling point.

  • Dark spot

    So my new MacBook arrived today and I was so excited. I have been without one for a few days now because I sold mine to buy a step up and it has been killing me. I don't know how I lived without.
    I booted up and there is a small dark spot at about mid screen, a thumbs width from the inner edge of the display. It is between the size of a period and a bullet point.
    Am I really going to have to return the whole computer for a little spot or can it be repaired by someone locally?
    I have been going round and round with myself, debating whether I should send it in and be out a computer for that much longer or just live with it. It is obnoxious to be sure, but tolerable so I guess it is more the principal of the thing.
    Also, has anyone ever noticed that sometimes when you click in a box or a window to type that the first keystroke doesn't register? I noticed that on my old as well as the new laptop (worse on the new,) especially with the delete key. I have to press it one extra time to get it to delete. It isn't every time, but most often when it's sat a minute without being pressed, or what I would describe as the keys being "cold."
    Thanks

    I have the same problem on a curve 3G 9300 any help...

  • Why is there a slightly dark spot on the bottom left hand corner on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen after I cleaned it?

    I was cleaning it and when I turn it on again there's this dark spot in the bottom left hand corner and I was like what? So I rebooted my device and it was still there. It still works but I'm afraid it might break. I've cleaned this many times before and this never happened! Please Help! *sobs*

    Weird things happen at factories. After onboxing my new phone I took the plastic off and it had a small fingerprint on the side. I didn't even touch the phone.

  • Do I have to live with dark/dead pixels with my new 15" MBP? Yesterday I bought one and have one dark spot in the middle of the screen.

    Hello
    Yesterday I bought a 15" MBP and found a dark spot in the middle of its screen right away while in the 1st-time-welcome-boot. What a welcome. Do I have to live with it? It is exactly one pixel missing its yellow subpixel. It would be ok if it would be in some corner - but its right in the middle of the screen. Suggestions/experiences in this matter anyone?

    Thanks for your suggestions - took it back - got a new, mint, shiny one

  • IPhone 4: display has dark spot, brightness is not uniform

    Hi!
    I'm Hector from Italy.
    My new iPhone 4 just arrived from the Apple Online Store. It works fine but the top left of the screen has a darker spot; such non-uniform brightness becomes very evident when opening, for instance, Safari (that has a white background).
    Should I send it back to Apple?
    Or is this a known software issue?
    If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it? I would rather not stay without iPhone since all the phones I have at home have a standard SIM and not the microsim.
    (without considering that after spending 800€ I really hoped to get a quality product)
    Thank you!

    Hi and welcome to Apple Discussions....
    If I go to Milan's Apple Store will they swap it?
    This being a user to user forum we can't say what the policy would be at a particular store but if it were me, I'd take the iPhone and ask for an exchange. Make sure and take proof of purchase with you.
