Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos.  You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image.  I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide).  So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken.  No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

  • On my website, in the logo, I have EmergeSense with a shadow. It shows up fine in Safari but not in Firefox ... how can I fix this

    I created the layout and design of my webpage on MicroSoft Word and have been useing iWeb to actually create and publish it. In my logo I have the word EmergeSense and it has a shadow of the word behind and benath it. In Safari it shows up just fine but in FireFox it does not.
    I do have screen shots of the two I could show you but I don't know to up-load them so you can see the difference. I would like it very much if my logo would show up correctly in Firefox but don't know how to approach the issue.

    You can try cleaning the headphone jack. However, I suspect that th headphone jack needs replacement.

  • Why does my MacBook stop working when I tr to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing?

    Why does my MacBook stop working when I try to plug in my iPad to do some file syncing? This is the second time I have had it happen to my MacBook. The computer just shuts down and cannot be restarted. When I plug it into the charger I get a faint Green light where it plugs into the MacBook. When I took the computer into my local Mac store last time this happened (Nov 2012) they reckoned they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Has any body else encountered a similar issue?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?

  • Why does AirPort Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?

    Why does Airport Extreme stop working when I plug in a USB hard drive?  The USB drive has its own power supply.  I've tried isolating the hard drive from Airport using a powered USB hub to no avail.

    The USB port on the AirPort Extreme is borderline as far as its ability to supply adequate power to a hard drive. Another way of saying the same thing is that this is not a high power USB port, like you would find on a computer.
    Your 2TB drive likely requires a bit more current than the USB port on the AirPort Extreme can supply. It is also possible that the drive's firmware may not support a network USB connection....only a "local" connection to a computer. Check with Seagate support on that possibility.
    Try using a powered USB hub with the 2TB drive....and make sure that the drive is formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32....which the AirPort Extreme USB port can accept.

  • I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

    Skipping songs
    The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
    If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
    Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
    Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

  • I just opened Foxfire and it automatically imported bookmarks from safari, but not all of them. How can I get the rest of them ?

    I still have Safari on the computer with all my bookmarks. Not all of them came over to Firefox. How can I get them over. Also I had some in the toolbar that displayed over the window. Does this browser have that feature?

  • Someone/somewhat texted using my number but not physically using my phone. how can i control or see who/what is doing so?

    Help please!

    I'm not sure exactly what you need to accomplish. If you want to actually control and run LabVIEW from Excel, I think the only way to do that is with writing a VBA macro and calling the LabVIEW ActiveX properties and methods. I couldn't find an example with VBA but maybe this Visual Basic example here can give you some ideas. If, on the other hand, all you want to do is change some values that a LabVIEW program is using, the easiest way is to make those values changeable on the front panel of your VI or make your VI read the Excel spreadsheet. Reading an Excel spreadsheet can be done with Excel's ActiveX properties
    and methods or treating the spreadsheet as a database and using ADO. One ActiveX example can be found here. If the Excel spreadsheet is saved as a text file with comma or tab delimited data, then you can use the Read From Spreadsheet function in LabVIEW. There have numerous examples and discussions on reading Excel files posted to this forum. if you do a search, you'll find a wealth of information.

  • Why does Photoshop CS5 cease working when I try to print a file on my Canon Lasershot LBP7200?

    I am using Photoshop CS5 extended with the latest upgrade 12.0.4.0 installed. My OS is Windows 7 with the latest updates installed. I have a Canon Lasershot LBP7200 Cdn printer installed as a network printer. When I try to print, e.g., a jpeg file using the print command I get an error message that says Photoshop has stopped working and will be shut down. This did not happen before i started installing the updates for Photoshop -- the print commmand in v. 12.0 worked OK. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the printer and Photoshop but this makes no difference - the file will still not print in v. 12.0.4.0 and the application crashes.
    Here is the error message in the application log:

    I thought of something you can try...  Not a very great chance of success, but not too difficult to implement (if a bit geeky)...
    Just in case this might be because of recent security changes Adobe has made regarding loading DLLs, it might be interesting to try putting the name of the folder containing the Canon DLLs into your system's PATH.
    1.  You'll need to figure out in what folder CNAP2SMK.DLL resides.  That's not trivial, as Windows normally avoids searching in System folders by default.  Possibly the most reliable way is to start a CMD window As Administrator then type in the following command:
    DIR C:\CNAP2SMK.DLL /S
    2.  The above command may take a long time to run.  Assuming it finally does yield a folder name containing the DLL file and its cousins as installed by the Canon print driver installer, click Start, then right-click Computer, then choose Properties.  Then click Advanced system settings.
    3.  In the System Properties dialog, click the [Environment Variables...] button.
    4.  In the User variables section at the top, you may already have a PATH variable defined.  If so, double-click it.  If not, click the [New...] button and add the PATH variable.  If it already existed, add a semicolon (;) then the folder name you got from step 1.  If the variable is new, just add the folder name.
    5.  OK out, then log off and back onto Windows.
    6.  Do a test print.
    7.  If it doesn't help, you can go through the same steps to remove the folder from the PATH.

  • Why does my DSL stop working when I plug it into my filter?

    This is really annoying. I was having problems with my phone/dsl connection and verizon sent me a filter. Great! I've been using the filter for a while now and the first problem was when I plugged in the filter then the dsl and phone the internet wa very slow. If we tried to watch a youtube video while the filter was plugged in it would be painfully slow!
    Now the DSL wont work at all! The little green light disappears in the internet section whenever i plug the dsl into the filter. I work online and need both the phone and internet to work at the same time. Any ideas what to do?

    That would be a filter, yes. Didn't know Verizon handed out phone/DSL wall split filters. I would honestly take a look at the physical jack it is connected to for corrosion or lose connections as I doubt the filter is bad out of the box. Anyways, what was the original problem you had with the Phone and DSL that prompted Verizon to send out a filter?
