I've got this problem with Photoshop. Some of the tools, e.g. paintbrush, clone, just don't work. Using alt click to select the colour/area works but the tool just doesn't work on the image. Any ideas?

Photoshop 7. Clone tool (etal) won't work. I've verified I am in RGB mode, and the 'Aligned' box is unchecked. Since the background layer is locked, I duplicated the background and tried working in the unlocked layer. Still no luck. These tools were working fine before, and sometimes when I open PS they do. Other times, like now, they are inaccessible.

All other tools the cursor will display (eg marque and crop etc). Is anyone able to offer any help on the subject?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI just began editing a portrait shoot and realized that my paintbrush effects only work on about the bottom 1/3rd of my photo.
The little target with the plus sign in the middle shows up when I mouse over this photo from the mouth down, but when I mouse over the top part it turns back into the normal cursor. If I start using the brush at the bottom of the photo where the target/plus sign actually shows up and then drag it to the forehead, it works. But if i unclick at all it goes back to the original problem.
I am using Lightroom 4.
Photoshop cc. I am having trouble with the clone stamp tool, it will often change back to the tool I was using before it when I try to change the size of the brush. It will sometimes happen when I go to use the hand tool (space bar short cut) it will go into the hand tool navigator mode (space+H) and then jump back to the previously used tool when I let go?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a big problem when using the new CS6 on my Mac (os x 10.7.4). When switching to a new tool, like a brush, or clone stamp, or healing brush etc, Photoshop hangs for about 20 seconds before resuming. It's not 3rd party plug-ins, because I get the same behaviour when I run using the shift key and third party plug-ins are disabled. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens frequently.
View 301 Replies View RelatedI have some problems with th CLONE STAMP TOOL at the right hand. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. I do the correct thing: I press ALT-button, the click.
I have also noticed that this also is a problem when I use the BURN and DODGE tool. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
I am trying to use the clone brush in paint through the tools menu.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow come sometimes the Clone Stamp Tool doesn't clone, and the Healing Brush doesn't heal.
Sometimes I can get it to work, and sometimes I can't.
Sometimes it works only partially. The thing I want to cover over gets partially obscured behind a translucent clone spot.
On a recent attempt, I had the Healing Brush working, but after I made a selection mask to limit the area to be healed, the Healing Brush no longer worked.
I have Opacity and Flow on 100%. I tried a variety of different Modes. Aligned samples is checked, as Layer is set to Current. Layer is not locked. I am working on the top layer of three layers. I set layer to all three posible options, including Current, and Current and Below. I left Aligned Samples unchecked, and then I checked it.
I Reset the Tool in the configuration drop down menu next to the tool icon in the tool options bar. I Reset All Tools.
I am cloning a photo... no problem... I changed the resolution, then the clone stamp doens't do anything. I changed the resolution back, still doesn't work.
I click on the color I want it to clone using the option key (I have a mac), then when I put it on the area that I want to change, nothing happens.
clone does not work anymore, how do I get it to work again?

It says select object, but no matter what object I select eg. circle, pline or line, it says invalid selection. I am running AutoCAD 2012. Are 'shape' objects somehow different from any other objects?
I am using PS 5.1. The cloning stamp tool has never worked.
If I alt/opt and click to attempt to select my source for cloning it does nothing. There are no presets on the cloning stamps and all settings are at zero.
I am running a MAC OS X recently updated system. I use a MS compatible wireless key board. All other PS short cuts works with this key board and always have I just have to use the PC short cuts. The only item changed in preferences for CS 5.1 is the way my mouse is display with crosshairs.
The clone stamp doesn't work. If it does work the cursor shows up as a dot, not the full size of the brush.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI use PShop CS5 + Bridge on a Mac “All in one”, all options works fine.Some time ago I changed some option (don’t remember which) to try new way of using the clone stamp.That is ok, but after that the “preview” of the clone stamp does not appear, as I was moved the the previous version of PS.
Some details:
I activate the clone stampset dimension, etc.I see the pointer, okMove the pointer to the source and clickThen simply move the pointer to the target areaBefore the problem without pressing any key I saw the “preview” of the effect. Now, I see the correct effect but only AFTER having clicked the mouse Reading previous thread, I reset the tool options, then reset all tools option, then checked the dimension of the pointer (in the general option section).Nothing changed.
I read that reinstall PShop is useless, since reinstall does not remove corrupted files if any (but which file?).Since every other feature is working properly, it looks like a strange setting I set without being aware of that …
I loaded the free trial of CS6 to see if I should buy the upgraded version, or be happy with the less expensive older programs.
Although I can grab the color (alt+click) -- and I see the "spot" that I drag to clone/paint over the object that I'm trying to remove... NOTHING HAPPENS. No color applies, nothing disappears - nada.
I'm running this on a MAC.
When I use Photoshop Elements 9, I get the following error: Could not use clone stamp tool because of a program error. I uninstalled Photoshop Elements and reinstalled it with the same results. This error shows up on both my XP computer and my Windows 7 computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have photoshop CS2 and photoshop 7.0. Sometimes when I go into edit a picture my erase, clone and other tools will not work. It shows up in history that i've used the tool but it doesn't alter the picture. I usually copy the background first then delete the locked background layer and work with the copy. This happens randomly. I must be missing something ( a setting, ??). I have uninstalled and reinstalled to make sure it was not a software issue. When I attempt to clone it just justs me a little cross next to where I'm trying to copy and never alters the pic.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using GIMP 2.8.3 with Mac OSX 10.6.8. I can't figure out how to get rid of a red line through my pictures, or even how to make the clone or the heal tools work at all. Isn't it true that you're supposed to click Control and a spot next to the blemish you want to erase, then click the blemish and it's suppose to disappear?
View 10 Replies View Relatedfor a while now, my photoshop tools wouldnt work. it was only the tools that involved "painting" like the brush tool and quick select. after reinstalling, they would work but suddenly they'd stop again. eventually i figured out that it was the pen for my wacom tablet. every time i used the pen, it would make the mouse not work untill i reinstalled the program. this means that a setting changes (pen pressure or something) when i use the pen and it doesnt change back when i use the mouse. i cant deturmine which setting changes.
View 11 Replies View RelatedNormally I do all of my initial editing in Raw Editor and then save the files to a 16-bit Photshop format file. In Photoshop, all my Nik and PhotoKit filters work fine as well as adjustment layers.
But when I try to use any of the tools, e.g. clone, healing, dodging, burning, all I get is a hand cursor on the photo and I cannot do whatever it is that I want to do with any of the tools. Am I missing something in the setup?
I've tried to add as a plug-in and it sees my old Elements 8 & 10 but not Elements 11?

Now, on my CorelDraw X3 graphics suite, the photo paint program is only partially functional. The clone and paint tools do not work anymore. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times, rebooted the computer, but no progress. We have Windows XP, the same as before.
