I am using the cloning tool to clone the individual, tiny berries that make up the blackberry.
I make my selection, then left click to paste my selection, and each time I make a new left click, I get a different image of the clone I originally selected.
This happens if I am cloning on the original background image, or on a new blank layer.
If I am working on a blank layer and look at that layer without the background, the clone image is different at each pasting.
If opacity is at 100%, shouldn’t the clone look exactly alike each time I left click to paste a clone?
I am transferring over from Corel and using Photoshop CS4. Sorry to post such a simple question but I'm not quite getting it...and I know it has to be VERY simple. I am having trouble using the cloning tool in Photoshop.
In Corel I simply right clicked on the area I wanted to clone, put my "brush" over the area I wanted to re-do with the clone and it was done. For some reason I am not picking up the process in Photoshop. Any simple tips to get me going?
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this? Whenever I use the Clone tool, the place where I clicked to clone shows blurs around the edge, a softening.
two people in my compartment got new laptops, both using the same software. So I installed one machine completely, including Photoshop, cloned it and write the clone on the second laptop. Now, both Laptops can't run Photoshop anymore. After loading an error message appears and PS is closing The error message is (translated from german):"Your Username, company or serial number for Adobe Photoshop is missing or invalid. The application can no longer be executed and will shut down now." Maybe sysprep removed those informations before cloning? Now, how can I reenter the information without starting photoshop?
I cloned myself three times by taking three different pictures without moving the camera. After that I took one picture and made it the "master picture." I then cut the other clones and dragged them into the "master picture." However, you can still see the lines from the light difference.
I've loved and used my cloning tool for years. All of a sudden I went to apply it and it would be grainy or splattery (new word) on the edges. I changed by brush types an everything, but with no success. I even undated to the newest version of PHotoshop, but still can't get it to work.
to a step by step for cloning and object (in this case a number) in a picture and overlaying this object over another? Basically I'm trying to 69 to 75 on the back of a uniform picture as best I can. I have a 7 and a 5 to clone from another uniform.
Pixel/Cloning question: I have 2 images- one imports as 16.7%, 4000/3000 pixel dimension, 180 res, the other at 33.3%, 2400/1800 pixels and 72 res. When choosing the pixel size for the cloning brush, how does the number of pixels I choose relate to the image size that photoshop has imported your image as? If I decide to work on an image at a different %- zooming in or out, how does that affect the pixel size that I have chosen? Since the actual dimension of the pixel is variable, what criteria is photoshop using to determine the actual size of the pixel, and how does that change at different percents of zoom?
How do I clone the area from around the beginning of the window to the edge of the photo on the right hand side and add it to the right side of the photo so that it looks like the photo is extended longer to the right? And how can I do it without repeating the couple in the window?
I've never encountered before. I am using the cloning tool in CS5 and I am trying to stamp clone one part of the photo and clone it to another part of the photo. The problem is that after I option click and then drag it to the part I need, dark spots show up instead? I am running Photoshop CS5 for Mac with the latest updates.
I am trying to use the cloning feature but it does not seem to be working. It was working fine when I last used it. I don't know if I am not doing sth right. I am new to Photoshop and I am thinking it might be sth simple that I do not know.
I want to clone just using one place. I do not want the clone thingy to follow my cursor as I attempt to clone an area, I just want it in one place (stationary),
how to clones some hair but keeping it looking natural. Basically, my problem is that I'm trying to reshape the hair in the portrait to make it look more balanced and aesthetically pleasing. However, the hair stylist used hair extensions in the shot that are really curly and frizzy. What I've done so far is clone it using heal and clone with various amounts of opacity and flow...this worked on some parts, but around the edges I'm at a loss. Right now I have the 'form' of the hair masked off, but now need to clone the edges to make it look like the hair naturally fell in that position rather than shaped in post-production...
I have a trial version of C6. When sending a file from Lightroom 4.3 beta into CS6 when I have to clone in some wood panels in a background, I'm crashing. I'm using latest Mac Mountain Lion on a MBP Retina screen. I've uploaded the patch for CS6 and applied it.Â
I have a leayer with a bit map inside a photosop folder in my layers. When I clone it the layer information just disapears. When I ctrl+alt to duplicate it sometimes the layers are active but there is no artwork at all Layer is visible /eye is on/ when click thumbnail to select objenct in the layer a "No pixels alert pops up".
The only way to be able to get the artwork is use a previous version.No I did not delete the layer, neither any one touch the  I'm using photoshop Extended 5.1 (64 bit) on a pc.The original file v.01 was done in a mac photoshop cs3, edited and saved as a in the office pc (now v.06), I name my files sequentially to be able to back track, (so a filename looks something like this client_project_B01_v03_06.psd )
My cloning stamp was working just fine, I edited a photo with it, saved that photo, then opened the next photo and tried to use the clone stamp on it and now all my clone stamp is doing is cloning black dots. It "grabs" the skin color I need, but when I go to "paste", it pastes only a black dot. I have CS5! There are NO other layers open, and I have tried to restart the program and even went as far as doing a system restore on my laptop to before this happened and nothing worked!
For some reason my cloning start poition has stopped working. Normally you select clone tool / press alt/ right click at position where you want to copy from /right click again at new position you want to copy to / I am now getting: "could not use clone stamp as area has not been defined". I thought it might be fault on keyboard, but is the same with new keyboard and I have reinstalled CS4.
For whatever reason(s), after applying the 'Depth of Field' effect, the cloning tool no longer works properly. If I open another image, the tool works just fine but if I return to the image where the 'Depth of Field' was applied, the 'clone' no longer stays after the mouse button is released. That is, the effect seems to be temporarily applied under the brush and immediately disappears when the brush is moved or the mouse button is released?
Do not try this on an important file, try it on a new blank scene. Â Create a box, select move tool, move box while holding [+SHIFT] so as to clone it. With your finger still on [+SHIFT], press [G] to turn on the grid. Â Bang. Stuff explodes off the screen and the program crashes.
Cloning usually applies to a single object. For example if I take a square and make a clone of it, make any changes to the original, the clone will change.
However, if there's a group of a square, a text saying HELLO, Â and a circle. I make a clone of this group. Then if I squeeze the only the circle in the original [thereby making it an ellipse], the clone won't change. Is there a way to do this?
I have a program that lets the user create a new page, by cloning a selected page and placing it at the desired layout order (taborder). For example, the user could copy layout 4 as layout 3 and then there are options for changing the layers that are visible.
The problem I'm running into is when a user enters new page = 3, by copying the current layout 3. What I want is to have the new layout placed at taborder 3, and the rest moved to the right.
It gives me an error, though, saying I'm using the same taborder.' This will copy the selected layout and call it the new page.
Public Sub addPage(ByVal pageNumber As Integer, ByVal pageToCopy As Integer) Dim myDWG As ApplicationServices.Document Dim myDB As DatabaseServices.Database Dim myTransMan As DatabaseServices.TransactionManager Dim myTrans As DatabaseServices.Transaction myDWG = ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument myDB = myDWG.Database myTransMan = myDWG.TransactionManager myTrans = myTransMan.StartTransaction Dim myBT As DatabaseServices.BlockTable Dim myBTR As DatabaseServices.BlockTableRecord Dim myBTRE As DatabaseServices.SymbolTableEnumerator Dim myLM As DatabaseServices.LayoutManager Dim myLayout As DatabaseServices.Layout Dim layoutToCopy As String myBT =
[code]....
 I thought, maybe I could put the new layout at the end, and then just change its taborder, but all that did was overwrite the current layout 3 with the new layout.
