Spot Removal, Radial Filter, Graduated Filter, Healing Brush Not Working

The tools only work in some areas of the picture, not in most.  How can I correct this?  And, sometimes when they work, the dhanges cannot be removed.

Generally, it is the bottom half of the picture where the tools do not work.  Also, the ratings squares on the bottom do not work.  Did I click on something by mistake?!

    in cs5 if i try to change 16bit its asking hdri tone maping.. how could skip this process. i just want to convert 16bit and few touch-ups with healing brush. and i want to revert to 32bit. this convertion process causes any color info..
    i want to keep my data in to 32float itself. and i want to use healing brush..
    Thanks
    panner

    can any one  explain technically ...
    Because the author of the healing brush code hasn't updated it (or related tools) to work in 32 bit/channel yet.
    (and the person who wrote most of the 32 bit support code couldn't untangle that code to get it working himself)

  • Spot Healing Brush NOT working...

    Has anybody run into this? The spot healing brush is NOT working. I am starting over on a picture I already edited, using this tool a lot (to remove weird reflections, facial flaws, etc. I "reset all tools" to see if that would help and it isn't. I try to use "alt" on the face to set the base, but when I try to actually use the tool, nothing is happening.

    I have used PSE 2.0 in the past and have just installed PS Elements 5.0. I have located the Spot Healing Brush which I have read is to be used for small spot fixes. I have found literature alluding to the 'Healing Brush', a different tool used for fixing larger areas of imperfection. Try as I might I cannot locate this tool on PSE 5.0 Is it not there? Can anyone help? Thanks

  • Healing Brush not working in CS4.

    Hello,
    The Healing Brush in my copy of CS4 has always been a problematic tool.
    Some times it worked and sometimes it didn't.
    Now it never works.
    Can anyone please help me to get it working properly?
    Thanks for your consideration,
    cobaltgreen

    Maybe you misunderstand the function of the healing brush. There are two healing brushes. One is an automatic brush that you can click on a spot, and it will attempt to automatically heal that spot. The other is like the clone stamp, except it attempts to repair the copied pixels to match the destination. Do neither functions work for you?

  • Clone Stamp Tool and Healing Brush not working - why?

    As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.
    When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined".   Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
    Background:
    Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).
    I have run out of ideas as to what the problem could be, so I am requesting assistance from the forum community. Thank you very kindly in advance for replies.

    Do you mean photoshop elements 7 and not premiere elements?
    The fix posted above only applies to linux os systems, which is
    different from mac and windows.
    On windows vista Alt+left click is to set the clone source.
    Try the following steps one at a time.
    1. reset the clone stamp tool by clicking triangle on the far left of the
       tool options bar and select reset tool.
    2. Go to Edit>Preset Manager and click Done in the dialog that appears.
    3. Reset the elements 7 preferences by holding down the Shift+Alt+Ctrl keys
        at the same time you start elements 7. In the dialog that appears, click yes.
    Hope this helps.

  • My spot healing brush stopped working

    My spot healing brush stopped working. After releasing the mouse, it blinks and remains black. If I do another spot, the first spot is fixed and the second one is black. And so on. This began after updating to 12.0.4 x64 (Mac 10.7.3)*

    Try resetting the brush tool.  Right click on the brush tool in upper left corner and select reset tool.

  • Lightroom 5.2 radial filter tool doesn't work

    I recently purchased Lightroom 5.2 and the radial filter tool doesn't work.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Is there a fix for this problem.  Is there any way to get technical support from Adobe or is this a ridiculous question?

    Rikk, thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my post sent during a moment of frustration and please accept my apology.  I believe the problem lies with me not knowing how to use the radial filter tool and not the software in this instance.  As I mentioned, I just purchased Lightroom software and I'm in the process of learning.  Last night, my first instance of a software glitch was with the slideshow view not working.  I get a black screen; however, this is the subject for another post.  Subsequently, I was struggling with the radial filter and, initially, I thought this was another glitch; which it is not.  When I went to the Adobe website looking for technical support, I could not find any place where I could call or send an email for tech support to get a question answered.  Instead, Adobe directs customers to this forum where kind people, such as yourself, are willing to help others.  At this point, I was very exasperated.  Again, I sincerely apologize and thank you very much for being willing to help.  Best regards.

  • I have Camera Raw 8.7.1 installed.  Sometimes it will allow me access to the Radial Filter and sometimes not.  Why?

    I have Camera Raw 8.7.1 installed.  Sometimes it will show me icons for the Graduated Filter and the Radial Filter and I can use both.  At other times it will not show the Radial Filter and of course when that happens I can't use it.  Why?

    I have CS 6 installed as well as a subscription to Photoshop CC, but I don't use CS 6.  I'm just keeping it around in case Adobe jumps the CC subscription price out of sight.  I was using Photoshop CC and Bridge.  I always pass my .nef and .jpg files through ACR first.  Sometimes the Radial Filter button is there and sometimes it is not.

  • PS CS6 spot healing brush stopped working.  followed online instructions but it did not work

    I followed online instructions for resetting preferences and tools, but the spot healing brush no longer works.  Help!

    What operating system are you using?  Did Preferences definitely reset?  Did you see this dialog box
    Do you definitely have the Spot healing brush selected? (top of the fly out list)
    What is the brush mode in the Options bar?  If anything but Normal, change it back to Normal.
    Are you able to select the tool and it does not work, or can't even select it (greyed out)?
    If you are able to select the tool, do you see the little no-go icon when trying to use it?  (Circle with diagonal bar)
    Any information that remotely useful will go a long way to helping us find an answer.

  • When I use spot or healing brush it works a little and then starts leaving dark smudges or lines

    The spot and healing brush seems to work a little, but then leaves dark smudges or even complete dark lines.  Also seems to pick up other objects in the picture as if it is copying a section of the picture.  Have tried to reset, but nothing works.

    The Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop CS5 uses Content Aware Fill, and it's function is EXACTLY to go find other parts of the picture to fill in over what you clicked on.  What is it that you expect it to do if not that?
    As Christoph has said, please provide some image examples.  It may be that it's not working correctly, but it's impossible to tell whether you're seeing it do what's expected without seeing the before/after results you're seeing.

  • Spot removal in LR3 can't heal

    Whe I try to use the spot removal tool in lightroom 3 it simply uses clone instead of heal. I have tried setting it to heal, but it still clones. It is set on heal but still clones.

    That is normal behavior.
    The Extra Circle is the source point for both cloning and healing your destination point. The behavior of the tool is different.
    Clone= Less-intellegent copying of pixels
    Heal= Smarter blending of the pixels
    Both require a source point (user choose-able by moving the "extra circle")
    Try both modes on a hard surface edge like the edge of a building or a horizon and you should see the difference.

  • Filter and navigation not working properly

    Hi Gurus,
    I have two reports - report1(source) and report2(target) report.
    In report1, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Amount_sold
    In report2, it shows two columns - Market_ID, Reasons(where Market_ID is made prompted)
    In report1, I have made the Value Interaction as 'Navigate' and the target as 'path of report2' in Column properties ->Column Format
    But, when I click on Market_ID(report1), it is NOT showing the details of that particulat Market_ID(report2).
    It is showing the details of whole Market_ID in report2. That means, the filter is not working properly.
    Is there any method in which the report2 shows the details of particular Market_ID which is selected from report1(market_ID)?
    Best Regards,
    J

    yes you can,
    in your source add a master_name column and in that make the navigation.
    in the master_id column go to column format and style options and check the Use Custom CSS style option and type,
    display: none
    now in your source the master_id column will get hidden. in your target make the master_id prompted.
    now click on the master_name in your source, your target will get filtered by the corresponding msater_id
    thanks,

  • DTP  filter routine is not working

    Dear gurus
    I am working with BI 7  and I have created following filter'routine in the DTP.
    But the routine is not filtering.
    The statement :  read table l_t_range with key
                               fieldname = 'CLEAR_DATE'.
    is not working. sy-tabix = 0
    Fieldname is really CLEAR_DATE
    Please can you tell me what is wrong in the routine
    data: l_idx       like sy-tabix,
            w_date      like sy-datum,
            w_date_low  like sy-datum,
            w_date_high like sy-datum.
      read table l_t_range with key
           fieldname = 'CLEAR_DATE'.
      l_idx = sy-tabix.
    w_date = '20090705'.*
      w_date = sy-datum.
        w_date+6(2) = '01'.

    Try adding the following:
    l_t_range-fieldname = 'CLEAR_DATE'.
    to your code:
    l_t_range-low = w_date_low.
    l_t_range-high = w_date_high.
    l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
    l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
    And at the end append/modify like this:
    if l_idx NE 0.
        modify l_t_range index l_idx.
      else.
        append l_t_range.
      endif.
      p_subrc = 0.

  • Smart sharpen filter in CS5 not working

    Hi,
    My smart sharpen filter is no longer working It seems to be doing it's job when I have a preview dialog box open, but as soon as I ok the changes the original image appears as if nothing happend. I've tried different files and it the same story: nicely sharpened image in the preview box and than nothing changes. And it used to work very well in the past. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

    When you are zoomed out, many pixels are averaged into a single display pixel. For performance reasons, the sharpening is previewed on that downsampeld version of the image.  When you apply the filter, it applies to the full resolution version of the image, which then gets downsampled again for your zoomed out preview.
    So, let's say you had a grid of black and white pixels.  Zoomed out, it looks like gray.  Sharpening would appear to have an effect depending on the zoom level, but would never have any effect on the base level.
    And no, there is no way to keep performance reasonable and give you an accurate preview of applying the filter to the full resolution image.
