Clone Stamp source reticle disappeared - please help!

I use the Clone Stamp tool in Photoshop CC.   Normally when I select a source with "Aligned" option checked area, there is a small cross which follows the source domain that is sampled.  It helps me to guide the source that I use and re - sample when necessary.  Recently, the source/sample cross disappeared.  I tried all the options I can think of nothing doesn't. Please help me find my source cross!

Any input would be appreciated!

Thank you!

This looks like a corrupted preferences file.

My suggestion would be to trash and reset your preference files.
You can find instructions for this here: help Photoshop | Preferences

When these are damaged, Photoshop can have some VERY strange effects.

Hope this helps

  • Clone Stamp source point

    I do work on a portrait retouching to remove or minimize wrinkles around the subject's neck. I'm using a layer to lighten and darken the layer with the clone stamp, a very low opacity value affect only areas. I want set the source point duplicate to a single domain. I don't want the source point clone stamp to go with my my clone features. Is it possible for me to set the source point and it stands still?

    Thank you very much in advance for the answers provided.

    The point source to go during a stroke.  This is the definition of a clone operation.  If you want to paint just the same color across all a race who sounds more like just a traditional brush operation.

    Now, have you pouvez source point Start at the same place for each successive line...  Achieve you this by unchecking the checkbox [] aligned at the top of the main window of Photoshop.

    I hope this helps!

  • Duplicate the artist that don't WILL NOT disappear please help!

    Everything is identical on both sides, news-wise, I went through all the fields all fields sort everything.

    I even tried to change the name of the artist to something different, then change back, nothing has changed.

    The only difference that I could find is now in the general tab to get information from the artists themselves:

    The left is as "should be", because all the other artists who do not have duplicates have this info.

    While the right, which I think is 'the double', has in this field which does not reflect the artist.

    But I continue to change, and it goes back to joint... by himself! What on earth I'm doing wrong?

    What is the problem? How do I actually CHANGE? Thank you!

    Hello applewarm,

    I see in your post that you have an artist showing twice in iTunes, and you want to have all of this artist put together. I like to keep things neat and organized myself, so I can understand why you want to get this sorted out.

    As a first step, try to edit the field artist album "Hardcore Superstar" for both groups and see if it unifies the artist. If this isn't the case, I recommend to check this article to see if there are measures that you have not tried here:

  • Clone Stamp Tool - lack of "Normal mode".

    Just recently, my 'Normal' in the Clone Stamp tool mode disappeared. It used to be there, but now the first option is to "dissolve".  I still have the mode"Normal"in the pattern stamp tool.  As I use the Clone Stamp tool a little, the disappearance of the 'Normal' mode is very annoying.  Any help please?

    Thank you MTSTUNER. I found it using the key up when the drop-down list menu mode has been posted. I fell like a dill, but at least you me facing the right direction thank you again.

  • Please help, I have reset the Clone Stamp tool in CS5 and it's always the same.

    Hello

    I run Photoshop CS5 on my Mac and I have not had problems since I installed Photoshop originally. Yesterday, the Clone Stamp went crazy mad and starts to move the frame surrounding whenever I chose a source. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, plug-ins installed and reset tools (reset several times). Nothing has changed and I have some urgent changes to make. Please help, thanks.

    PS, I have read several forums that were kind of related to this problem and nothing I've read has helped. Sorry if it's repetitive other problems for everyone.

    If you go to window > Clone Source and choose Clipped, isn't that better?

  • Clone Stamp and Healing Brush problem, please help!

    Hi, I'm new to the forum but I have been using Adobe creative suite for some time now.  As described in the title of the thread, I am having a problem with my photoshop clone stamp and Healing Brush tool that I can't fix on my own. I searched on the internet all day, scroll on many other posts, but I can't seem to find anyone else who has similar problems as I have here.

    It's a little hard to explain but the question I have, is that when I go to use my healing brush or Clone Stamp tool, layer I work if it is a flat or normal background editable layer get displaced as soon as I press the option button to make a choice, and when I go to install in the region using these tools it is then as I duplicated the entire layer and drag it around of the screen, even if no copy / paste was filed.  All my other tools are functioning normally and I wasn't having this problem last time, that I have worked on anything in photoshop.

    I am running:

    Mac OSX 10.5.8

    CS4 extended version 11.0.2

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Your probably see the source of duplication of overlay.

    Go to window > uncheck Source of duplication and either:

    Display the overlay for no overlay or check CRT to display the overlay

    cut to the size of the brush.

  • Option-click for the clone stamp does not. I've tried several suggested fixes, no results. Help!

    Howdy!

    I searched and found similar questions on the forum and I tried all the solutions proposed, that I could find, but I'm still not resolve this issue. Hoping that maybe someone found a fix!

    The problem is that the option - click to set a point source for the Clone Stamp tool does not work, but the behavior seems to be particularly odd.

    With the Clone Stamp selected, tool if I press the option key pressed, I get the crosshairs target little, which makes me think that Photoshop is the option key is read and is not a recovery program of her clutter. When I then try to use the clone stamp, however, I get the dreaded error message:

    "Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (option - click to set a point source)."

    I went through all the relevant troubleshooting steps, I could find elsewhere on the forum. I have updated to the latest version of Photoshop and my BONES. I tried to reset the tool. When this does not work, I reset the Photoshop preferences. I have disabled all the other programs that seemed that they might have some sort of overlay keyboard shortcut, but as mentioned, Photoshop DO change the cursor when I press the option key, which makes me think (although I am far from being an expect) is not the issue. I have no plugins or mods or anything of this nature that is installed. It is a completely vanilla installation.

    I am under Photoshop CC 2015.1.2 20160113.r.355 x 64.  My OS is El Capitan 10.11.2.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. As far as I know, there is no work around. This tool is dead in the water for me until I can sort this out.

    Thank you!

    P.S. If this is quite in the wrong place to post a question like that, I'm sorry. I would like to know where I lead and I'll be on my way!

    I have to admit, I'm puzzled. Everything seems as it should. The tool has been reset, preferences reset and the layer looks very good. I wonder if it is a question with El Capitan. I use Windows, but know that Photoshop has had problems when El Capitan came out. If you have not used the clone 6 months stamp then it would have been pre - El Capitan. Have you tried completely uninstalling Photoshop, restart the computer and reinstall?

    I have not followed the El Capitan saga, you can read about it here

    Warning about Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

    As a last resort, you can try going back to Yosemite.

  • Stupid Photoshop. Clone tool does not. That means "could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined (option - click to set a point source)" means?

    Please help and bear with me, I can not know what you are talking about. Total newb

    Nice day!

    The Clone Stamp tool is intended to be used to paint the parts of an image on one image (the same or another).

    To do this, a sampling point must be set for Photoshop 'know' what piece to be used and which is done with the Clone tool from the selected buffer, alt-click on the space provided.

    Kind regards

  • Please help me. My task manager disappeared, also run the command

    I have automatic updated my computer this morning. After the update, I had to reboot my computer. After the reboot, my task manager disappeared, I received a message that it is disabled by the administrator. The thing is, I am the administrator. I tried to bring it using command run, but he went too. I tried the command run in the properties of the start menu, impossible to find. How can I bring back?

    Another thing, all my word files are now listed as files Visual Basic EDITOR. I guess it's because of virus. I turned off to avoid any automated scripts from script virus running, but then I can't open any word file, so I still allowed him. I can open word file after that, but they are still reported VBEfile. What is VBEfile anyway?

    Another problem, the automated system recovery tab is also missing from my computer properties after the update.

    Please help me, I'm desperate here.

    If you see things like this:

    You do not have sufficient security privileges to restore your system.
    The System Restore tab is missing from the my computer properties.
    System Restore has been disabled by group policy.  To turn on system restore, contact your domain administrator.
    The System Restore tab is available, but the turn off System Restore (disabled by Group Policy) box is grayed out.
    The task manager has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The registry editor has been disabled by your system administrator.
    The task manager has been disabled by group policy.
    The registry editor has been disabled by group policy.
    The command prompt has been disabled by your administrator.  Press a key to continue...
    The operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer.  Please contact your system administrator.
    The "Run" option is missing from the start menu.
    The option "Log off."... ' is missing from the Start Menu.

    The usual advice are something in the sense of "something has been disabled in the group policy...". ", and it is probably true that something has been disabled, but you know what something is and what it takes to do about it.

    If you are using XP Home Edition, you will get away with advice to use the Group Policy Editor, because there is no Group Policy Editor in XP Home and that really doesn't tell you where to look in group policy, even if you run the Group Policy Editor.

    You need a complete solution that works for all versions of XP and requires no hunting around in the Group Policy Editor or registry to find where things are that have been disabled.

    Unless you have disabled these things on purpose, chances are good that your system has a malware infection.  The malware knows what tools you use to try to find and remove, for the malware disables the things you are more likely to consume and prevents them from running if you can't find the malware and remove it.

    If your system has this kind of affliction, all malicious software tools you currently use or have used failed to protect your system so that you can expand your horizons malware detection and prevention to prevent these kinds of afflictions in the first place.

    The malware will be happy you trick into thinking that you need to so something drastic to fix your system - as a facility repair, system restore point or a total reinstallation of XP.  This is what it would be like you, but these measures are not necessary.

    You must solve the immediate problem of the tools does not, then scan your system for malware when you are finished.

    No matter what kind of malware you've used analytical tools, they are unlikely to solve this problem, because they cannot tell if the changes made to your system have been on purpose (you or an administrator who makes them) or some malware changed them, so the analysis tools will let these things alone (it's usually a good thing).

    If your system is afflicted in this way, there are probably other things that also do not work - like the registry editor, System Restore and the command prompt, so fix them all at once even if you have not discovered they are broken again.

    These commands from registry removes the registry entries that are stop opening programs.  Although the registry entries do not exist, these commands are safe to run and will work for all versions of XP.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:

    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Open Notepad to create a new text file:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    notebook

    Click OK to open a new Notepad file.

    Copy and paste the following lines in bold text in the new Notepad file.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableRegistryTools" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]
    "DisableCMD" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesSystem\\\]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_USERS\.default\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
    "DisableTaskMgr" = -.
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
    "DisableCAD" = DWORD: 00000000

    "NoClose" = -.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
    "NoSetTaskbar" = -.

    Save the new text file with extension .reg on your desktop or somewhere you can remember with a name you can remember, something like:

    enableit.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file enableit.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the enableit.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor.

    Answer in the affirmative to the question... Are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    Reboot your system and test.

    You can delete the enableit.reg file when you are finished.

    If the registry editor has also been disabled, we first fix (not a problem).

    Because now you have or have had a malware infection, I would follow with this:

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
