When I use the clone tool keyboard dies

everytime I use the cloan tool, the keyboard stops working... sometimes the F keys and control and arrow keys work... but thats it. Any help?

Edit...Preferences...Display & Cursors, and select either "Normal" or "Full Size" brush tip.
Added:
Also be sure the size of the brush is large enough to display as a circle -- increase the size.

After using the clone tool my keyboard freezes up. Why?

I am running Mac 10.6.8 and CS 5.5
Photoshop: CS5.1
After using the clone tool my keyboard freezes up. Why?
When I use the clone tool repeadedly i can no loger use my keyboard.
And that includes use for other applications.
I have to do everything manually by scrolling down the menu bars.
Also, I can't even type in any characters from the keyboard.
Thanks everyone smarter than I.

Thanks C,
(Sorry I don;t know your full name.
I followed your instructions and reset my preferences.
Crossing my fingers.
On another topic. I am running Design CS 5.5
But when I checked "about Photoshop it only reads CS5 12.1 x64.
Also, my prefs read CS5.1
Please advise.
I also seem to have prefs I may not need. I thought when I installed 5.5 my
old Photoshop version prefs would be deleted but they are still there (see
my snapshop of my pref files. Should I trash any?

I am using Lightroom 5 and am hapy about it, but recently I hav encountered a problem when trying to edit an image in another program, i.e. Elements. I used the clone tool, saved the result and went back to Lightroom to open the image there. I did find a second copy, but this is identic with the one I already had in Lightroom, and I can see noe result of the clone process.

At the moment I would say it is uncertain whether Acrobat is completely ignoring the change, or whether the changes you are making aren't affecting the ink density. I have a suggestion for a test you could make to see which is the case.
When editing in Photoshop just add a box or mark on the image, for your tests.
- If this box does not appear in Acrobat, you know Acrobat is not seeing the edit
- If this box does appear in Acrobat, you know the problem is that your tool for changing ink densities is not taking effect.

Using the clone tool on a picture I have pasted in another background?

I have photoshop elements 9, and took a photo that I wanted to change the background on. I erased all the picture except for my husband and I, then used the lasso tool to outline our photo and I copied it, and pasted it on another picture with a better backround. Now I am unable to use the clone tool on my husband and I, but can on the background. Maybe there is a better way to extract a photo and post it to a new background. But everytime I try to see how to do it on google, I see all these other tools that people use that I don't have. I have only elements 9, so am limited. Any suggestions?

I'm not at all sure I understand how elements 9 is limited in terms of the clone stamp compared to whatever you're googling, but I think your problem is most likely that you are either not targeting a portion of a layer with something in it (trying to clone from the empty area of the layer surrounding the pasted in image of you and your husband, for example) or trying to clone from a layer that isn't active (trying to clone from the background layer when the pasted in layer is the active layer).
You might want to turn on the Sample all Layers checkbox and see if that helps any.

With the Healing Brush Tool selected, in the Tool Options, click on Clone Overlay and check Clipped.

Hi,
I'm using 10.0.7. It's like snapping won't turn off. Instead ,if i use the keyboard to nudge the clips, there's no problem. I am using that at the moment.
1. when i try to drag
2. when i nudge:
3. snapping is off.
Thanks,

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver). Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape. Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

This driving me mad... any help out there?

mr.roo,
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

My not be much you can do. However, I would just clip them into my favorite image tool (in my case IrfanView) and adjust there.
