Stamp and Marquee Tool

Why does the item I'm copying with stamp or paste into a marquee
rectangular box appear smaller than from the original item?

Instead of using the clone stamp tool, use one of the selection tools to select the object.
Try the selection brush or the lasso tool to select the object
You will see an outline ("marching ants") around the selection once it is complete
Then press CTRL+J to place the selection on its own layer
Use the move tool to position the object. The size will be maintained, unless you change it, which you can do with the corner handles of the bounding box.

  • Stamp and Typewriter tool gone after 9.5.2 update??

    Where did the stamp and typewriter tool go when I updated to Acrobat 9.5.2??

    I found that the Typewriter tool only appears on the Tools menu if the PDF you have open allows it.
    With some PDF forms I open, the Typewriter is missing from the Tools, but when I switch to a different PDF it reappears.
    There must be a permissions setting in each PDF that disables/enables the Typewriter tool.

  • Global Chord Track and Marquee Tool

    Hi there,
    I wanted to select some Chords on the global chord track, but the marquee tool doesn't seem to work here. When i click & drag (with the marquee tool, of course!), no marquee will draw, but the first chord that i touch is selected and pulled away from it's position.
    I consider this a bug, but maybe it's a feature - can somebody help me?

    Bump.
    No ideas, anyone?

  • Different measurements between ruler tool and marquee tool?

    I'm using Photoshop Extended CS 5
    Why are there two different measurements?
    I positioned  guides on an image for measuring purposes.  I have Snap to Guides on. I used the Ruler Tool snapping to one guide and  I extended a straight line to the other guide (Shift key pressed). The Ruler Tool read 712 pixels.
    I then used the Marquee tool to snap to the guides and it read 720 pixels.
    Which one do I believe?

    Where?  In the Info panel?  If so, did you read the W (width), and not the X (horizontal pixel position)?
    I just did what you said and got consistent measurements.

  • Crop and Marqee Tool problems on CS4

    When first launching CS4, the cropping and marquee tools work just like they should, but after a while of use, suddenly I can no long drag the selection to any size I want. I only seem to be able to select small sections using either the marquee or crop tool. If I restart PS it will work fine again for awhile and then fail again. I suspect it may be a memory problem. I have 4.5 gig or ram and am using 75% for PS. Anyone know what is causing this?
    And by the way, what the heck happened to phone technical support? I had a phone support contract with Adobe, and the phone number for it has been disconnected. The new number provides no way to access that contract, and waiting times exceed 30 minutes!! What happened, Adobe going out of business?

    Clear the tool.

  • How can I use the "Copy and paste" tool in order get stamps in the same position in different pages (Acrobat XI for PC)?

    With Acrobat 6.0 I was able to copy a stamp in the same position (I mean "exactly" the same one) of different pages just by using the "copy/past" tool.
    Now I am using Acrobat XI and it seems like it is not possible anymore: I am copying a stamp and I am trying to past it in anoter page, but it appears in the center of the page (or wherever it wants to...).
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you very much. I'll be waiting for you message.

  • Why is the cloning and healing tool in lightroom 5 no longer showing the stamp where it is replacing from?

    When I use the cloning and healing tool it used to show a stamp indicating where it was replacing from. It suddenly stopped working. I can still remove spots but cannot move it around to see where I could use alternate space to clone or heal.

    The source should show on both Heal and Clone.  Hit the H key to turn them off and on or pick one of the options in the Toolbar.

  • Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

    I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
    Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
    As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4.  The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
    I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.

  • When I use the marquee tool the photo starts flashing on and off?

    Hi when I am using the marquee tool the photo keeps flashing on and off and turning black?

    I am not sure what you are asking, or about what Adobe software.
    This is the Adobe Reader forum; Adobe Reader does not handle images.

  • Why does my screen keep flashing and then turn black when I use the marquee tool?

    When I bring up a photo to work on and i try to draw circle or square with the Marquee tool my screen flashes black and then stays black until I use the move tool?

    This issue is associated with your graphics driver not being compatible with PS' hardware acceleration. Updating the driver if possible would be advisable, otherwise turn off OpenGL drawing under Preferences --> Performance.

  • Marquee tool and feather question

    Hi,
    When I select the marquee tool with feather, and select inverse to remove part of an image so that the image has rounded corners, there is always some kind of gradient applying to the borders .... is there anything I need to configure to make sure the selction gets removed without this effect ? Or is it just not a wright way to do this ?
    Many thanks

    You can do it by going to Quick Mask mode, and then either:
    Run Threshold on the QM channel with a value of 127, or
    Run Levels with the shadow and highlight sliders moved almost all the way in towards the center, for pseudo-anti-aliasing,
    and then go back to Standard Mode.
    But using the Rounded Rectangle tool and converting it to a selection is definitely the way to go.

  • Marquee and text tool causing photoshop cs6 to close?

    when i try to use marquee tool by clicking on it photoshop cs6 closes or I see an error message and then it closes?  text tool causes the same problem? im using xp sp3

    Boilerplate-text:
    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.)?

  • While using marquee tool to cut and past section to new layer, outline stays transparent

    Hello,
    I am testing the trial version of Photoshop CS5.5 and I am experiencing a weird issue while using the marquee tool while selecting a portion of an image, cutting that section and pasting it to a new layer.
    First off I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, 2.8Ghz Dual Core Processor, 4 Gigs Memory, 2 Gig Video card and current on updates with a fresh vanilla install of CS5.5.  Not filters or plugin installed.
    Step by step of issue is as follows,
    I take an image on layer 1 and while using the marquee tool select and area on that image.  I want to cut and Past In Place that selection on a new layer, layer 3. 
    This will allow me to insert another layer, layer 2, in between layer 1 and layer 3 and show what ever I place on layer 2 but still have a complete background if the image does not fill the entire transparent section.
    A good example is a wanted poster.  You have your picture frame with the Wanted letters and reward.  In the center you have a transparent square.  In the back you have a black background.  In between the frame and the background you place a face.  The face will not fill the entire sqaure so you will see some of the black back ground.
    Now the problem appears to be that the dotted line of the marquee selection makes so you can see your selection stays transparent or deletes the ares directly unter it when you cut and past to a new layer.  The transparent outline looks to be the same size of the dotted line when that selection is selected.  I have looked and searched for this promblem and resolution but can not see one. 
    The picture below is the result after I deselect the area.  You can see just above another section that I tried to cover up but did not get it all.  
    This is driving me nuts and I just can not figure out what is causing this behavior.  If I try and stretch the section, it skews the contents out of proportion.
    An suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    Instead of cut, one way is to duplicate the layer and add a layer mask from the selection. Alt click on the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel to add a Layer Mask>Hide Selection.
    Then you can put a layer in the middle.
    The reason your seeing what's in your screenshot is the selection is anti-aliased,

  • Marquee and pen tools do not leave a visible track until selection is finished

    When usinf the pen tool or the rectangular marquee tool and draging the path in invisible and does not appear until the "make work path" instruction is selected. Yhe use of the pen tool as an invible line pretty much renders the pen tool as usless. I have obviously turned something off. How do I fix this problem. Very frustrating. I have reinstalled prhoshop CS4 (3) times, same situation.

    Found the answer in another thread. If pen tool path is not visible, then un checking "open gl" in edit>preferences>performance [GPU Settings] solves the problem.
    Thank you to anyone who endevours to answer this question.
