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.
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.

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

View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.

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 …

View 5 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop 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.

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 9 Replies View RelatedI'm just starting to use CS4 which has some nice little features, but also behaves differently with some tools. The clone tool is excellent because you can position the clone before you apply it (you can see where it is going), but how do you clear the clone brush ater you've cloned something. if you've used the clone tool in CS4 you'll know what I mean.

When I select a location from which I want to clone the pixel colors/properties and then begin to paint in the target location, the results are of pixels from areas that are outside of what I want, or thought I had selected.
I have reset tools, reset preferences, checked opacity, blending mode, made sure I am on a active layer, duplicated background layer, used a different file to see if the same result occurred, checked channels palette for rgb active. Done everything but re-install software,

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using CS4, and my clone tool will act up every once in a while by cloning to an area that I have not gone over. I will be cloning and then when I start an area, nothing happens to the area cloned (the area I am trying to cover over with selected area), then suddenly another area of the photo will show the clone.
I have reset my settings by doing a CTRL, Shift, ALT at startup.
My son banged on my keyboard while I was in the middle of editing a photo using the clone tool. Now the tool is looks as though it's working when I'm sampling an area but when I go to change the designated area it isn't doing anything. And it's got a bright white spot in the circle.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am familiar with the operation of the clone tool in previous versions of Photoshop.... However after upgrading to CS6 I am having a problem with the functionality of the clone tool.
Basically when using the clone tool when its set to 100% opacity & flow, it looks as though the clone tool is only set to 50% opacity.I am using the default configuration that came with the program.
My previous version was CS3... clone tool worked perfectly there...why the same tool doesnt perform the same way with the same apparent settings.
I only have a pattern stamp tool can't seem to find a clone tool anywhere... I thought it had both. when I click on the pattern stamp there is only that tool nothing else to select...is it a setting under the pattern tool? or is it somewhere else completely?
View 3 Replies View Relatedsome of these vertical and horizontal remnants remain. I can reclone and reclone, and the same horizontals will be there, sometimes a vertical changes if I reshape the selection. Even at the smallest selection size, it remains.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI noticed for the first time that the new clone tool in CS4 is not using all of my processors on my new i7 965XE processor. In fact it uses only one processor and this makes it run incredibly slow. I have also noticed that CS4 in general is rather sluggish on this hardware which is supposedly one of the most powerful processors available. I am running the i7 965XE with 8GB of Ram and still find Photoshop rather slow. I would expect it to be super snappy on this hardware, perhaps I need to optimise settings somehow, does anyone have any suggestions or is CS4 not equipped to properly address the i7 processors yet?
My version of CS4 is 11.0
The clone and healing tools just stopped working on CS3, Windows XP. I check the obvious like correct layer selected, blend mode, ...
The paint tool works fine.
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.
