Problem with my Clone Stamp

Hi,  All of a sudden my clone stamp is acting strange.
I now have TWO " problems.
1st problem is that as i enlarge the clone stamp, enlarge the circle, less of it is visible ?
2nd problem, when i open a .jpg and position my mouse over an area i want to clone and click "ALT" and then move the mouse to the point i want to clone over, the "layer" moves with the mouse so i can never get to clone the area in question
The image in the bottom corner is moving around with my mouse ??? Help

Open the Clone source panel, and uncheck Show overlay

  • Trouble with the Clone Stamp/ Brush Sampling Layer

    Hey guys! I've been having trouble with my clone stamp tool. Just installed the new PS CC and when I try to sample the layer that I want to clone, I hit "alt-click" and it gives the the error message telling me to do the very thing I just did? alt-click.  Doesn't work.  Same problem with the brush tool, except no error message, it just doesn't sample it. Can you help me figure out what the problem is? Thank you!

    Update your graphics driver and/ or turn off OpenGL in the prefs and check for flakey color profiles.

  • How fix problem of the Alt Key, when used with with the Clone stamp, generating an overlay image?

    I am using CS5.   When I try to  use  the Clone Stamp  or Healing Brush Tools, pressing the Alt key generates an extraneous image which overlays the
    the image  which is being worked on  prevents these tools from functioning by sliding at around  when  the ALT tool is pressed. Does any one elso have this odd problem? How can it be fixed?
    Thanks,

    . Yes this was the problem.  As a novice, I would have spent hours and hours figuring this out.  Many thanks.

  • 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?

    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.)?

  • Problem with stop( ) clone  (again!!!)

    Hi,
    after asking & searching in the forum, i know that in order to stop a ds (or a clone) the ds(or the cloneable) must be transmitted, played, processed etc. Now, i try to stop a clone , right after the cloneable starts being processed, but the clone does not stop. I think i did it at the right point, because when i tried stopping the cloneable at this same point, the video stopped. But when i do it for a clone, the clone doesn't seem to stop. I' am stuck in this thing for quite a long time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanksss

    It's not a P2P application but however there many similarities with a P2P. This is what i want to do. 1st client request the video from the server, the server sends it to him. After ,lets say 10secs, a 2nd client request the video also from the server. So the 1st one is already receiving the video and the server informs him that he has to send it to the 2nd client (from the beggining). Unlike a P2P the clients don't save the video in a file but they only play it while receiving it. This is why i want to: clone the ds, pause the clone and then send it. I've partially already tried what you propose (save the ds to file and then send it) using DataSink.But as i want to transmit the video while is being received, saving using DataSink doesn't really help because the temporary file that works as a buffer is not streamable. So i can only send the video after it is finished/ received. If u still think that the way i do it is not going to work please tell me because the deadline approaches and i don't want to lose time trying sth that it won't work :) .
    Sth else that i want to try is this: put the received stream in a buffer, clone or copy the buffer and use this buffer for creating a ds for transmission.
    What do u think?
    Thanks really a lot!!!

  • Problem with OracleParameter.Clone()

    I've found a strange behaviour in ODP.
    I've created a parameter collection where i've added all the parameters.
    then i simply create a copy of the collection in the command object:
    //adds all parameters that existed in collection of parameters
    foreach (OracleParameter oParam in oParamCol)
    oCmd.Parameters.Add(oParam.Clone());
    }//foreach
    Everything worked ok until I create a parameter with:
    CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
    When i clone the object it looses this property value!!!
    And i think it looses some more AssociativeArray properties that i've added to the parameter.
    Is this a BUG in ODP.Net?
    Can someone give me an explanation to this strage behaviour?

    For best chances of getting a reply, you may want to post it to ODP.NET forum (ODP.NET

  • Retouch with the Clone Stamp tool

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-760aa.h tml

    The clone tool instructions did not work and there is nothing to indicate where else to look for troubleshooting hints.  I ensured I was not in an adjustment layer, but I have no idea what else could be wrong.  Lack of troubleshooting hints is a deficiency in all of CS5 help pages.  Why not have links covering "Why this did not work?"

  • CS6 Clone stamp problem

    I'm trying to cover up some blown out flash reflections using the clone stamp (100% opacity) on a JPG image. However, I'm only getting an ugly brown spot where the reflection is, instead of covered up pixels. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi!  Often when users have problems with the Clone Stamp tool, it has to do with layer arrangement and layer options.  Are you painting with the clone stamp on the same image layer, or on a transparent layer on top of the original image?  You might try checking the Clone Stamp sampling options (see screenshot) to make sure the selected sampling option matches your workflow. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Clone stamp tool

    I have just upgraded from a trial version.And I am having a problem with the clone stamp tool it shows an error message,I have tried download the softwear again but still no luck.Also the boxes in the right hand corner are grey rather than coloured are they supposed to be.

    Hi,
    It seems you are using PSE9. Then the colors of the Edit, Create and Share tabs are removed. They are now in shades of Gray. But that should not be related to your facing problems with the Clone stamping tool
    Did you try : reset tool option from the arrow in the extreme left of the options bar.
    else you can also try the following steps:
    1) Close PSE editor if open
    2) Go to Welcome screen
    3) Press and Hold Ctrl+ Alt + Shift, and click on Editor.
    4) Hold the keys till you get a dialog asking you to delete the prefrences.
    5) Click yes.
    6) try again.
    Please share the results after the steps.

  • Clone stamp tool - can't turn 'aligned sample' option off

    HI, I am experiencing a problem with the clone stamp tool and healing brush tool where I uncheck the 'aligned sample' optiom, 'alt' click where I want the sampling to come from, then brush over the area I want to be affected.  I have noticed that the results are the same as when the 'algned sample' option is on; the sampling is clearly following the brush just as when 'aligned sample' is checked.  I have reset the tool with no effect.  Anyone have a solution?
    Thanks

    Just to clarify, the Aligned option will cause multiple brush strokes to copy from the sampled area as though you had duplicated the sampled layer, hidden it with a mask, and now revealing it. With Aligned off, each brush stroke returns to the sampled area. For example, if you have cloned from a layer with the image of a face, sampling in one of the eyes, multiple brush strokes with Aligned on will result in the face filling in stroke by stroke. With Aligned off, a new eye will be cloned with each brush stroke. And by brush stroke I mean clicking and releasing mouse button.
    If this is the behavior you are expecting by not getting and resetting the tool did not fix things, then it is time to reset the application preferences:

  • Problem with Clone Stamp Tool Transparency

    Hi there, I am working in CS5 and lately when I have been drawing with the Clone stamp tool, the cloned content seems to be transparent instead of being a 100% opaque clone of the source. The tool is in normal mode but the result looks almost identical multiply mode. I am coming from CS3 and I have not run into this problem in the past. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    …and the align sample to current layer is checked on.
    This implies that you need to understand what the settings actually do. You have a choice "current layer", "current and below" or "all layers". These have nothing to with Align, they are all about which layers are sampled.
    "Aligned" is about where multiple clicks of the Clone Stamp sample from. How they relate to the source area that you sampled.
    Opportunity to air a major complaint of mine - "Aligned" automatically keeps checking itself. Because some Grandpa (photoshop 6 or 7 can't remember) decided that Option double click should be a 'shortcut' to keep Aligned checked all the time. Because they always work with Aligned on I guess, they think everyone should. Unfortunately it means that if you are a fast and experienced user, you have to waste a fair amount of time each day locating a tiny checkbox, to turn the damn thing off again. And again. And again.

  • Problems with clone stamp

    I need help?  I was workimg with the clone stamp and it just stop working.  I do the Alt + Click and it turn grey but nothing happen.  I use the Square Marquee as much as poosible then I went to use the clone stamp and it want work.  Please advise.
    Thanks

    Do you have an image layer selected?
    A common problem is that you might add an adjustment layer or some other non-image layer, then forget to select the image layer before returning to work with the clone tool.
    If this does not help, please capture your screen at the time when you find the clone tool does not work.  Perhaps one of us can see what's wrong.  It would be good to be able to see the Layers panel and the Clone source panel.  Post the image here by using the little camera icon just above where you type.

  • A problem using clone stamp tool

    Hi guys,
    I use After Effects CC last version on a pc under windows 7 ultimate..
    This problem must be simple to solve but I just don't see how.
    I have an aerial view of the Vesuvio. The volcano makes a 10 to 15° circular motion due to the helicopter moving.
    I need to eliminate the actual houses and other trails on the border of the crater to have my volcano as it was 2000 years ago when it erupted and destroyed Pompeii.
    I succeeded to do that with the clone stamp tool without a problem and it takes of course into account all the different shades of earth on the cliffs of the volcano.
    But when I preview the shot, while the volcano moves, I can see the stamped touches of paint moving as if floating above the volcano. The older surface is not visible as I wanted but the new one does't follow the movement. I'm sure I forgot to do something but what? Should I do the clone stamp in conjunction with motion tracker, if so how? I tried once but got the same problem.
    Thanks in advance
    Claude

    OK, I see a bunch of painting on the nearest slope of the volcano that does not track with the shot. Your biggest problem is workflow using the clone stamp. You are just not using it properly. If it were me, the first think I would do is to use the After Effects tracker to stabilize this part of the volcano so that it didn't move in the frame.
    Now you only have perspective issues to deal with.
    Next I would duplicate the stabilized layer, pre-compose the duplicate moving all attributes to the new composition, name the preComp - clone or paint pre-comp, then open the pre-comp in the layer panel and use the clone stamp to repair the parts of the image you want to repair. You can then add other trackers for the parts of the image you want to clone or use a time offset to make your painted layer match the mountain.
    I probably would do something completely different. I'd export the middle frame of this move as a Photoshop file, then go in and paint  the mountain the way I wanted it to look. I'd mask the background in photoshop so I only see the sides and face of the volcano. Then I'd bring my painted mountain back into AE and animate distortion, scale and rotation so the painted layer matches the original perspective on the shot as close as possible. When that is done I'd go back to my main comp, add a null, tie the null's position to the anchor point of the stabilized footage, then parent the original copy of the footage and the painted copy to the null to put the camera movement back in the scene.
    Here's a tutorial on how to apply tracking data to a clone stamp in AE:
    Removing an Object with Clone Stamp - After Effects Tutorial
    I am pretty convinced that you added the smoke... Use the same procedure to get the smoke to look right. It's also floating in an unnatural manner. You could also replace the far background with a matte painting of the city using the same mask, duplicate, paint in Photoshop, then distort and remove the stabilization.

Maybe you are looking for
