Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Selected Area Extends Out To Edges Of Grey Outline?

Aug 30, 2013

MAC OS / Photoshop CS5 As you can see in the attached image, my clone stamp selection doesn't extend out to the edges of the outline, which makes using it very clumsy to use. My PS installation at home and all the installations at this business don't do this. I've tried messing with all the clone stamp settings, resetting the clone stamp presets, and resetting the general Photoshop preferences at startup. However, nothing I've tried has had any affect. So how can I get this adjusted so that the clone stamp selected area extends out to the edges of the grey outline?

Photoshop :: Could Not Use Clone Stamp Because Area Is Not Define

Jul 2, 2013

I wanted to remove a tumb that caught the corner of the lense in a shot with the clone tool, so I choose my clone tool, select a copy of the background layer, and press alt to select my source. It doesn't work! I don't get my little plus thing. I've also noticed that I can't select part of the photo with the lasso tool either. I AM selecting the proper layer on the side! I don't get it, why isn't this working?
 
I've tried resetting the tool, I've tried several different files, it just refuses to let me select a source. My alt key is working, ctrl-alt-del says so.

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 :: C6 / Clone Tool Stamp Will Not Paint From Sample Area

Oct 31, 2013

I am using PSC6 and the clone tool stamp will not paint from the sample area. After holding down the alt key to obtain sample it will  not paint.  I can hold the sample over the area to paint & see the cloned area visually, but it will not paint when I click. however if I click many multiple times I get a faded clone.

Photoshop Elements :: Clone Stamp Making Bright Area Dark Instead Of Like Source

Nov 9, 2013

I am trying to mask out a light source in a complex figure.  I have just upgraded from PSE 11 -> 12, but I doubt that is the problem.  I thought the clone stamp tool in Editor was simply not working.  When I'd drag (after setting a source) over the bright area, it would darken where I dragged. 

From experience it seemed like it was marking the area it was going to modify - but this turned out to be the extent of the modification.  It just stayed dark.  Following other discussions, I adjusted my depth of history to ease RAM footprint, restarted Editor, and rebooted my Mac (OSC 10.9).  I also twiddled with all the options under Clone Overlay.  I could see the effects, but they did not fix the issue. When I try the Clone Stamp tool elsewhere, it does what I expect. 
 
I'm suspecting pilot error, but don't know what else to try.

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp In CC 14

Jun 26, 2013

I installed the new version of PS right now but when I start with CLONE STAMP saw something unusual! I disabled the "Show Overlay" feature, when I press ALT and make a Copy from one place and when I want to paste it in another place sometimes it confused and past unusual, specialy sometimes is paste out of brush area, The settings of the tool is the same as PS CS6 and when I switch to CS6 I have no problem same as before.

Photoshop :: CC Clone Stamp Not Working

Oct 3, 2013

The Clone Stamp no longer works right. It's slow and sampling results are all over the place. It will sample from areas I never even ALT clicked on. And it can't keep up with rapid sampling and stamping. As is, Photoshop CC is totally unusable for photo retouching work.
 
I switched back to CS6, which still works fine, so the problem is NOT on my end. Running Windows 7 64bit. Photoshop CC 64bit.

Photoshop :: Continuous Clone Stamp

Jul 26, 2013

Is there a mode that allows the clone stamp to, in a sense clone itself? So if the target goes over an area that you just brushed with the clone stamp it will actually begin to clone from that, instead of the document state prior to cloning?

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Is Broken

Mar 6, 2002

I am doing some photo retouching and have the original photo on the background layer. Now I have never been able to get my clone stamp to work when I add a "new layer" and try working on that layer. It will work on the original background image, where there are definitely pixels. But the new layer sitting on top of the background layer is transparent, and my clone stamp won't do anything

But I want to be able to retouch on the new layer without affecting the original background layer. So I'm watching this Quicktime movie by J. Kost on Advanced Photoshop Portrait Retouching (I bought the entire set from her at Fotofusion) and I am watching her do this!!! But I can't! She is retouching a portrait with the clone stamp....the transparent layer 1 is active above the background layer (ie it's highlighted) and the paintbrush well is indicating that the transparent layer 1 is what is being worked on.

I checked my opacity for this layer...it's 100%. I am working in 8bit RGB mode. PS 6.01. Blending mode is normal....

Do any photoshop gurus have any idea about what I am doing wrong? As a beginner (I have only seriously been studying photoshop for about 2 years...and I know it takes a long time), this problem has been confusing me...and not just with the clone stamp but also with the other brushes, and thus knowing when I can work on a seemingly transparent layer versus one with pixels.

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 :: Clone Stamp Selection Failure In CS6?

Apr 30, 2013

I try using the clone stamp but selection fails with this error message:Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (Alt-click to define source point).
 
When I press Alt, I see the characteristic selection bullseye. But, afterwards, a right-click of the mouse reveals an open circle and the error message.I note that the key works for menu selections (e.g., Alt-File) and other actions.I have closed PS and re-opened. Reset the clone stamp tool, closed and reopened, etc., to no avail.

Photoshop :: Clone Stamp Refuse To Work In CS5.1 On Mac OS X

Nov 8, 2013

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.
