Problems using the healing brush in Photoshop Elements 7

I follow directions and it works for areas of that size. I can't change the size of brush.   I Alt-Click on good area, but am not sure what dragging over flaw means. I try clicking on bad area to make disappear.  That was  the way my old Adobe Business Edition worked.

Drag means: click with mouse at one end of flawed area. Keep holding the mouse button down as you move your cursor to the end of the flawed area. Release mouse button.
You can change the size of the brush in the options bar, or by pressing ] to make it larger and [ to make it smaller.

  • Using the healing brush tool

    Anybody able to give me a simple explanation of how to use the healing brush tool to retouch  photograph?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium...  And I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 with a Wacom Intous 4 tablet and pen.    I noticed this behavior right after a forced reboot from a Microsoft update yesterday.  I was editing a pic when it rebooted.  
    Now, the behavior only manifests itself within Photoshop Elements when I use tools that use reference points such as the clone tool or healing brush.  It's a trailing dot that seems to echo the reference point; which eventually catches up to place itself right under the tip as I make a stroke.   I can't really see what I'm doing, so I end up making a big mess of things on my pics.  This also occurs using my logitech mouse...   Check the mouse settings as well, and it not using any trail options.
    Called Wacom and they had me uncheck "use microsoft ink" from within the Wacom properties.  They identified the problem as the "ripple effect."     I've disabled the "press and hold" feature the "pen and touch" options in windows,  disable the Tablet PC Input service, and made edits to "TurnOffPenFeedback"  in, both, the local machine and local user in order to disable it.  So far, nothing has worked.   If it makes a difference, I noticed that every time I edit the local user registry entry, it enables itself after each reboot.   Haven't fingered the cause of this yet.     Please let me know if you have any other ideas.  Thanks!

    Unable to change reference point location while using the Transform Functions in Photoshop Elements 6.0.

    Which operating system are you using?
    In photoshop elements 6, as far as i know, you can only change the Reference Point Location for transforms using the small grid in the left hand corner of the tool options bar with Transform enabled.

  • I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

    I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
    When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

    For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
    Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

  • Video Editing using the healing brush

    how to you use the healing tool in the video? Do you have to go one frame at a time to get the whole video done or is there a quicker way of doing it?

    thx but what do the ps mean? Also when I render it it doesn't look like it covers the healing part and it jumps. Is there another way of correcting blemishes with adobe products beside after effects?

  • How come every time I use the healing brush tool or patch tool it smudges?

    I just want a solid change to the pixels that I've selected but instead it just creates smudging because it's trying to blend the pixels for me when in reality I don't want that. The only way I remember how to change this is through hardness but my hardness is at 100%. I'm working on an advertisement for the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in DC and I'm there nw trying to get this done.
    Please help,

    yes, lots of option and learing curve steep.
    When you have spot healing brush active look at the toolbar that shows size of brush, mode, etc.  Mode should be in Normal unless you want special effects.
    Also, since this is an auto program, if you have the brush size too large it will sample a larger area, which can introduce artifacts you don't want.

  • Entire image moves when using the Healing Brush

    After I alt/click to select the color for the brush, the entire image moves with the mouse.  Any ideas on this?

    It'll be the overlay moving. Enable "Clipped" as shown below:

  • Problems syncing iTunes 10.5 with Photoshop Elements

    Hi all,
    I've used the "Sync Photos from Photoshop Elements" option in iTunes for a long time to sync photos with my iPhone and iPad. Something's gone wrong with this since I upgraded to iTunes 10.5. I use Photoshop Elements 7.
    For the iPhone, I sync to a single album in my PSE catalog. This album has about 400 photos in it. iTunes can find the album, but since the update to 10.5, it now reports that there are 0 photos in it.
    For the iPad, I sync to the entire PSE catalog. This has about 2000 photos, but iTunes now reports back that there are only seven photos in it.
    The only software change I've made is the update to iTunes 10.5. The photos are definitely still in the PSE catalog, and are definitely stil on my PC hard drive.
    Any ideas? I know I can use a work-around by copying the PSE album to a separate folder and syncing with iTunes that way, but the direct sync with PSE 7 is something I'd like to keep if possible.

    Same problem here.  Someone else in this thread suggested the problemwas solved by downloading the latest iTunes but the iTunes check says I havethe latest (10.5.1). 
    What is really frustrating is spending an hour on the phone with Apple, whosay "we don't know the solution, it must be an Adobe problem, we don'tsupport Adobe, call Adobe tech support".  I pointed out that theiTunes software suggests Photoshop Elements as a sync option, so obviously theiTunes developers intended to support Elements, but the tech support staff thisevening apparently cannot see why they should care.  I asked Evan (no lastname given), the senior tech I was eventually transferred to, to at least sendme an e-mail saying they couldn't or wouldn't help me, so I could show thee-mail to the support staff at Adobe, but he said they were not allowed to sende-mails.  I pressed him and he said he'd check, and after 10 minutes onhold hung up on me.  I'd heard Apple phone support was good but that's not my experience.

  • Photo moves while using spot healing brush

    I've been using the spot healing brush basically on every photo but recently when I go to use it and press Option to get a clone source and then click my mouse the photo will move everywhere the mouse moves and not allow for a touch up.
    It doesn't matter if I'm clicking the mouse the whole time or not, it just happens when i click once while using the healing brush.
    I've tried reseting work space reseting my computer everything and I'm just desperate right now to figure out how to fix it.
    because my latest photo shoot is of a young girl covered in acne and the spot healing brush is the best when it comes to making it blend.
    i've asked everyone i know who uses photoshop and they have no idea. I can't be the only person this has happened to.

    I guess you meant the healing brush? (the clone overlay is not supposed to be active with the
    spot healing brush)
    If your using cs4/cs5, check Clipped or Auto Hide in the clone source panel (Window>Clone Source) and see if that's better.

  • Problems with using Flat Brushes in Photoshop Elements 10

    Hi,
    Today when I use the flat brushes to paint the colours are not flat but differant tones of the colour in the shape of the brush. Any suggestions please?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Check your brush settings specifically hue jitter and uncheck Keep These Settings For All Brushes
    Also, if your using a tablet check the Brush Tablet Options and see if Hue Jitter is checked
    You might also try a reset of the Brush Tool

  • Photoshop CS5 keeps crashing when I use the mixer brush

    Not sure what the problem is, I installed the trial version and have been using the mixer brush as it is an amazing tool, but the program freezes repeatedly. I have run the latest CS5 windows update. I have a pretty good system on windows vista 64bit, ATI Radeon graphics card, 6GB ram, Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920  @ 2.67GHz, 2668 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s), Dell Studio XPS 435MT.
    This seems to happen randomly but there is no escaping it. Does anyone know how to fix this program? It appears that my processes are only using 2GB of available 6GB of RAM.
    I need help, this is killing me. thanks.

    Are you running the 32 or 64 bit variant of Photoshop?  Both are installed on a 64 bit system.
    What kind of memory allocation are you allowing Photoshop to use?  Check Edit - Preferences - Performance.
    Also, are you configured to use the OpenGL acceleration?  Same dialog.
