Photoshop :: Automated Checking Of Aligned Option In Clone Stamp Tool

May 31, 2013

Today I noticed a slightly peculiar behavior in the Clone Stamp tool when "Aligned" is deselected. Clicking twice on the image with alt or option held down causes the behavior of the tool to change and "Aligned" to become checked. So if you're not planning on using aligned, you alt/option click your mouse for the source point, decide on a different source point, alt/option click again, and suddenly you find yourself using an aligned clone stamp.
 
This does not happen with the Healing Brush Tool, which makes me think it's not an intentional short cut. It's also mighty irritating. I've tried it with both x64 and x32 CS6 on Windows. Happens on both. Does it also happen on Macintosh? Is there any way to switch this behavior off?
 
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08/08:21:00:00) x64

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp "Aligned" Option

Dec 2, 2007

I need to use the clone stamp tool with the Aligned option unticked to use the same area for cloning purposes, but the tool behaves as if this option is ticked regardless of whether it is actually ticked or not i.e., in the Aligned rather than the un-Aligned fashion, moving in relation to the clone tools movements.

Has anyone else had this issue? Was it ever a known bug? Its CS2 I'm using.

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Tool

Sep 30, 2005

step 3 i have to use the clone stamp tool. But when i press ALT, my cursor changes to a double arrow! A white arrow and a black arrow, and the black arrow overlaps the white arrow for 80%. I guess thats not right, i should get a circle with a + in the middle of the circle right?

When i press alt and click mouse button, nothing happends. When i do that, and click somewhere at the image, i get the error that no area has been defined.

Photoshop :: Using Clone Stamp Tool In CS6 64bit?

Nov 27, 2012

I am trying to use the clone stamp tool, however each time I alt click  on a PC runing system 7- 64 bit and try to clone an area, I get a window stating that I have not defined an area. Alt clicking again does not solve the problem. I work in a computer lab and this option works fine on our Macs using option click in PS CS6.

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Tool Will Not Keep Source

Jul 26, 2013

So I am running CS 6 and my clone stamp tool has been having issues for the past couple weeks. I go to alt+click a location to get my source, and then as i move somewhere else to starting cloning, it instead uses the exact area i am trying to cover up. The little icon that appears to show you where you are cloning from, is always inside my cursor, no matter where i grab the source from.
 
Only fix I have found is closing up and restarting PS again, and even then, it only works for one or two clicks then goes back to the issue.

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Tool Only White

Jan 12, 2012

I'm a fairly beginner Photoshop user in CS5. I'm sampling a background copy and working in that layer only - whatever I choose to clone stamp, I get only white. Well aware that this is very likely user error and I have likely accidentally changed a setting somewhere... but have searched for the reason and am getting no where.

Photoshop :: CS4 Clone Stamp Tool Behavior

Oct 22, 2008

I installed CS4 on a Dual Pentium Xeon 2.4ghz Compaq W8000 system with 3GB of RD 800mhz RAM and Windows XP Pro w/SP3 and all updates. The video card is a ATI Radion AGP-3855 w/512 GDDR3 RAM with latest drivers.

When using the clone stamp tool, after making a sourse selection there is a "trail" that follows the cursor to the destination (similar to using a mouse trail so you can tell where the cursor is on a notebook computer)

When the cursor slows down at the stamp destination the "trail" catches up and covers the destination with the sourse "patch" not allowing precise targeting. It is so cumbersome to use as to make the clone stamp tool almost unusable. The density of the "patch" is not affected by opacity settings.

Is this a new behaviour for this tool in CS4? And if so can it be turned off? Do I have a problem unique to my system?

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Tool Disables Keyboard

Jul 8, 2012

I'm working on an iMac, OSX (10.7.4) with CS5.1. Ever since I uploaded my new Photoshop program months ago, it disables the alphanumeric keys on my key pad when I use the clone stamp tool. I have to restart my computer in order for my keyboard to work again.
 
I have talked to Adobe service multiple times, had the software replaced, had a service agent work with my machine from a distance, discussed the problem with Apple (they say it's an Adobe issue), paid a professional to resolve it, reinstalled the software multiple times and ways, worked in safe mode, worked as another user, but the problem persists.
 
I am a full-time graphic designer with my own business and usually have Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop all open at the same time, so when I have to restart it is a major problem that I encounter multiple times during my work day.
 
I wish I had never purchased the upgrade and now fear CS6. What can I do?

Photoshop :: Clone Tool Looks Like Rubber Stamp On Laptop

Jan 29, 2009

I have installed CS4 on my desktop and my laptop. On the desktop version, the Clone tool looks and behaves exactly as it should and I have no problem with it.

However, on my laptop, the tool looks like a rubber stamp (the same icon as is in the palette) and does not work properly. Changing the brush size does no good because it's not a brush, just a rubber stamp (yes, I have chosen Clone, not Pattern).

the only thing I can think of is lack of horsepower in the laptop (for instance, only 512Mb of RAM)

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Tool & Spot Healing Brush...

Jul 5, 2009

Both of subject tools often 'go wild' on me when I am working on an image. Either tool will race across an image in a straight line and leave either a cloning or spotting mark [straight line]. I suspect this has something to do with insufficient memory.  However I have 4 GB RAM and am not running any other big program while doing the cloning/spotting. Even if I 'give it some rest' this strange behavior will continue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! christian ps.  Attached is a tiny sample, circled in red.

Photoshop Elements :: Clone Stamp Tool And Healing Brush Not Working?

Aug 26, 2009

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).

Photoshop Elements :: Clone Stamp Tool - Brush Outline Has Disappeared?

Feb 1, 2013

I have been using the clone stamp tool for a few weeks without any problems, but a few days ago the outline of the brush disappeared.  I can still clone an area and replace the undesired area, however, I can't see the exact area that will be affected because the black circle that showed the brush size is now invisible.

Photoshop :: Stamp Tool - Clone / Copy Out Background To Extend Pictures Width?

Jun 16, 2012

I want to clone/copy out a background to extend a pictures width.
 
So far I have:
-Lassoed a selection of the background and copied it out - but wierd shading marks were left in the final result (I guess due to shade descrapancies)
-Merged all the copy layers so I could treat them as one.
-Use the Stamp Tool to clone from a perfect area of the original background but the Stap tool is again creating weird shading lines as I use it (ie, doesnt look like its apply the exact color I sampled from)
(I tried narrowing the Stamps Master Diameter also but still got weird results..)  
 
The Stamp tool doesnt seem to be working how I thought it would work. What am I missing?!

Photoshop :: Aligned Rubber Stamp

Feb 13, 2005

Running 5.5 I double clicked on the rubber stamp tool & cleared the aligned box in the rubber stamp options palette. Then I alt clicked in the image. Then I clicked & dragged in another part of the image. The cross cursor at the source point moved as if the aligned box was still checked. How do I get the rubber stamp to work in the non-aligned mode?
