I've used the clone tool since Photoshop 4, and it has greatly improved. The ability to preview the effect before clicking, the addition of patch and bandied tools, etc are great. The next version is supposed to have content aware moves.
However a basic feature that is lacking is the ability to rotate the clone selection. Cloning out lines crossing edges is hard. Cloning non edged areas is relatively easy, but edges in real life often follow a curve. Now that the clone tool has a preview, it would be good if keystrokes could rotate the clone clockwise or counterclockwise to better clone along curved edges. There are workarounds with ctrl-j selections, but they are cumbersome. I'm not saying the content aware features will not be useful, but more mundane improvements are lacking.
I'm trying to use the clone tool to erase creases around an eye.
I have the layer with the eye in it active, I choose the clone tool, I hit CTRL and click the area of flesh around the eye I want to copy, I see a moving outline of the flesh that's being copied, It works spiffingly! I change brush size to work in a smaller area, I hit CTRL and click the area of flesh I want to copy, I see a moving outline of the flesh I want to copy, But nothing! My cursor moves, but no cloning going on.
This has been plaguing me for a while but I've had projects going that I didn't want to interrupt. It's gotten to the point that I just can't take it anymore. I really need the clone tool for this phase of this project
I killed all of the dialogs under toolbox. Now I cannot find out how to set things like "alignment" in the clone tool, etc. May I have a word of instruction to get it all back to "factory settings"?

It always says "Ctrl-click to set a new clone source"
Doing that says "set a source image first"
I just got a new computer running Windows 8. It's a powerful machine (i7, 4 cores, 8 GB RAM, hybrid HD) and it's smoking fast on everything except Gimp's clone tool. The clone tool is so slow it's barely usable.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was merrily cloning away and somehow or another my clone tool changed into a very thin elipse rather than a circle. I didn't knowingly do anything to make it change.
I then made sure it was on the round fuzzy tool brush - but it insisted on making an elipse.
I previously used Gimp 2.6. When using the clone tool, I would press CTRL to set the source. When I would being painting with the clone, the source would move relative the mouse pointer location and I was able to make sure the gradients were correct.
With 2.8 it looks like the source stays put and I cannot clone see to get the gradients I am working with to clone right because I have to stay in line with the source. How to replicate the functionality of 2.6 with it?
Where is it? On page 332 of Gimp Bible (2010) it illustrates it in the dialog box, but it is not present in mine. I think that I am running the latest version.

Using the rotation tool is fair enough.
Under clipping I select crop to result.
In the rotation dialog i enter the angle ( -.7 )
When I click rotate, it goes through the motions of a status bar advancing (green bar), but when it is finished doing its thing the image vanishes entirely, and i'm left with what looks like a transparent background.
If in clipping, I select 'Adjust', it rotates fine but I have to crop the result manually to have the image 'square' with no transparent angled edges.
How the rotation tool works? I'm using Gimp 2.6.4 on Windows Vista.
Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined (option-click to define a source point). this is what shows up in the command box when ever I click to start to pick the spot i want to use as the clone. makes my cloning tool useless. I have reset the tools restrted my computer.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI coded a utility to work with entities rotation. This is a part of a bigger project so i just cutt and pasted together the part of code that have this problem.
Basically i get the selection, i clone it (because this is a copy and rotate) and through a draw jig class i rotate all the entities. This works well but just sometimes when the command ends it happened this weird thing, the entities appears in the draw but they can't be selected. And all get back to the normally after saving, closing and reopening the draw.
This is the utility.
public void Run(object param) { Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument; Editor ed = doc.Editor; Database db = doc.Database; List<Entity> toRotate = new List<Entity>(); PromptSelectionOptions pso = new PromptSelectionOptions(); pso.MessageForAdding = "

2 days on GIMP. I need to adjust the clone tool so it's 1080 pixels vertical and about 20 pixels wide. I googled and searched, but I can't seem to find the right phrasing.

Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI select an area I want to repair, click source, then drag to the area I want to use to make the repair and release. It looks great in the preview, before I release. As soon as I release it disappears.
For example, after using the automate tool to combine multiple images into a panorama with a transparent background there are a few blank areas. I select one of the blank areas with the patch tool, click source then drag to the area I want to use as the replacement and release. As soon as I release, it goes back to the transparent background. The transparent button is NOT selected.
This is a Windows Vista system, with NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT video, If I try to do updates to CS4 is sas it is using the latest driver. Which it lists as version 11.0.2.
I am trying to use the patch tool and am fairly successful except that the color that I patch from the destination to the source blends with the existing color and does not completely replace it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am using the patch tool to patch (!) areas of an image. Instead of patching the selection into the image, PS4 blends it, so that some of the patch and some of the original image are visible. I've searched for a way to instruct PS4 to reduce the opacity but I can't find such an option. Is it possible to truly 'patch' and not 'blend' an area of an image?

2. I used the Patch tool and defined a selection around the stitches.
3. With the Source mode button checked (transparent is checked too but I don't know what that does), dragged from inside the selected area to a new area. While the mouse button is held down, the new area is displayed in the original selected area which is good so far. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the original selected area reverts back to the original area and no longer is the new area.
I'm trying to use the patch tool to fix some carpet I have. The carpet is half black and half white, but its split up into sections. I'm trying to cover the black part with the patch of the white carpet. When I do that, all it does is make a blurry version of the black carpet with a little bit of white in it.
How could I make this white instead of a blurry blackish/white version?
I am trying to us the patch tool to copy a certain object in a picture and move it to another part of the picture and the object usually patches fine around the edges of the object but the center of the object is always visibly lighter.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOnly been using the patch tool for a couple of weeks and its been fine, but it has stopped working. I select Source and draw the area i want then move it over the area i want it to be replaced with.. it shows it fine, but when i release the colour goes all cloudy and its not clear, its sort of behaving like the healing brush does in Normal mode ( i.e. not a perfect copy like replace mode)
It does the same if i choose destination , all ok till release then funny colours.. I have reset the tool deleted my Prefs. I can't for the life of me think what i have done. The really strange thing is that it is doing it on my home PC and my work PC.. I am right in thinking the tool is supposed to work like i want it to i.e if i have an Orange and an Apple next to each other i should be able to draw a section out of the apple and replace it with a section of the Orange...and it be a perfect copy....
Since getting CS6 I have been puzzled to find that the patch tool in CS6 seemed not to work across layers whilst doing photo retouching. So I reverted to the other tools to get some work done and ignored the problem.
I have just discovered that the problem seems to be caused by the source layer being locked (as in the background layer). In this case, with an empty layer above selected and the patch tool using all layers, the tool looks as though it is working until the mouse is released, when the original content of the patch re-appears and the empty layer is still empty.
Only if the base layer is unlocked will the patch tool work as expected to put the correction onto on the empty layer above.the unlocked base.
Is this just on my Win7 x64 system, or is this a feaure/bug in CS6?
Is it possible to make a selection with the Patch tool and then rotate the selection to better match the destination area?
View 8 Replies View Relatedam using CS3, and am having trouble with the "Patch Tool" because whenever I select an area to be "Patched over" and drag that to the area I want to replace it, instead of just replacing the former with the latter, I get a blurry combination (think doubly exposed photograph) of the two.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using the magic wand to select an area I want to replace, then use the patch tool to find pixels to replace it with. It looks good in the preview but when I let go of the mouse, it seems to try and blend what used to be in the selection with the new pixels, rather than just replacing them like I want.
I read where your supposed to include some pixels outside of the area as well so I expanded the selection, but it still does too much blending.
My Patch tool no longer works properly in Windows Photoshop CS3. When I use the default settings (New Selection (Square Icon on extreme left), Source selected, Transparent NOT selected, no pattern selected) and I select the source then 'drag' the spot over to the destination until it looks the way I want it to, then let go, it replaces what I just saw with a blurry version of the two items 'added' together, as if the Transparent button were selected. Not what it's supposed to do.
I have reset the patch tool, then reset all tools and also reset the Photoshop preferences multiple times with the same result, the Patch tool still not working as its supposed to. I've tried this on multiple files of various formats (JPG, NEF, DNG) with the same results.
I'm having the same problem as the discussion below but resetting the Photoshop preferences files and tools did not help me as it did this user.

I'm having trouble trying to get the Patch tool selection to rotate (ie 30,40 50 degrees or whatever) to better match the destination.
I've made it work a couple of times by using Free Transform but most of the time it chops a hole in the image, when all I want to do is copy and drag the source area without leaving gaps in the matrix.
