Option-click on the Photoshop CS5 Clone Stamp tool just stopped working why?

I am using clone stamp tool option and click on Photoshop CS5 on my Mac 10.6.5 and it stopped working suddenly on Monday.  He had just used Sunday.  So, I tried to isolate the problem.

1. at the Apple store and my work as a keyboard and mouse is well spent on their internal systems running Photosochop CS5.  Problem still exists on the system at home.

2 adobe photoshop suggested I go back to Mac 10.6.3.  I did and the problem still exists.

3 reset all settings predefined in CS5.  Problem still exists.

4. has spent several hours with Adobe Photoshop tech on phone - he could not operate it remotely either.  RELOADED Photoshop from scratch.  Problem still exists.

Question:

This could be a hardware problem?  Graphics card problem?

Or is it a software outside of CS5 and Mac OS problem?

Thank you - HelpMeJoan

  • In CS6 Clone Stamp tool will not work with Tiff files

    All of a sudden the Clone Stamp tool does not work when you work on a tif file. Yes, I get the circle with + sign when I press the ALT key, but tool not clones.

    Hi Trevor!

    I discovered that it affects all file extensions.  Files were created after adjustments in Bridge. Layer is not locked. The opacity is 46. Now that I have reviewed your response, I was watching a FAQ on the same thing. Honestly, I didn't know you can reset tools.

    I found out how to reset the CSTool and voila! Now, works great.

    Thanks for the tips...

    Hey janicem42177174,

    Adobe does most support the installation and use of Acrobat 6 because it is a very old version that is not compatible with Windows 7.

    I suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat 11.0.10 is perfectly compatible with your operating system with its functions and improved functions.

    You can download a free trial version of 30 days of Acrobat from here:

    Let me know how it goes

  • In Photoshop's Clone Stamp tool applies the theory of matrices in its functions?

    IM currently doing a math project that has various applications of the theory of matrices and Im just curious to know if the Clone Stamp tool uses this concept to replicate pixles

    So you're saying "should I use math matrix? -Since there is nothing called "theory of matrices" I know...

    The clone copy stamp data of pixels from one place to another, or even between the images.

    You might consider images for matrices (width * height * channels), but we don't usually operations mathematics matrix on them.

    The clone stamp can rotate or flip the image data source - which uses the matrix mathematics to calculate the rotation or reverse.

    But you'll find more math matrix in something as filter-> other-> custom, which is pretty simple convolution/correlation function using matrices (correlation/convolving one matrix with one another).

    And there are many places where the matrices are used for solutions of the method of least squares (such as MergeToHDR).

    Mathematical matrix can be used when color conversions, especially between the RGB color spaces.

    I want to erase the watermark and purposes an istock comping image x brand. What is the most simple/fast way to do it?

    UM, you buy the stock photo / work? Seriously - if it's just for a model / model design, that neither you nor your customers will / should mind the watermarks and in accordance with the regulations of most of these sites, it must be left in place and a mention of the original in the copyright source. Everything else is just an attempt badly designed to circumvent their rules and regulations...

  • 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.

  • Automated control of the option line in the Clone Stamp tool. Intentional? Or my installation?

    Hello

    Today, I noticed an "Aligned" somewhat unusual in the Clone Stamp tool when behavior is deselected. By double-clicking on the image with the button alt or option key causes of the behavior of the tool of change and 'Aligned' to become verified. So if you do not intend using aligned, you alt/option click of your mouse to point the source, decide on a different source point, click alt/option and all of a sudden you find yourself using an aligned clone stamp.

    This does not happen with the Healing Brush tool, which makes me think this isn't an intentional shortcut. It is also powerful irritant.

    I tried it with x 64 and x 32 CS6 on Windows. It happens on both. It also happens on the Macintosh? Is it possible to turn off this behavior?

    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1 20120808.r.519 2012/08 / 08:21:00:00) x 64

    Best wishes

    OK, according to Jeffrey Tranberry, there is currently no way to change this behaviour given - reset tool (something that I constantly forget!) reduces the time that the second click took to be recognized, allowing better control of the tool for me. Hope this helps someone in the future.

    If changes should be made to this I would double click switch to be turned off completely.

    What version of photoshop are you?

    The red eye tool should be in the same location as the healing brush and Patch tools.

  • Photoshop cs3 Clone Stamp - clipping option tool?

    In CS4, there is an option to "clip", the Clone Stamp so that it shows an overlay of your cloned area "cut to" the size of the brush. (If you uncheck the "cut" option he superimposed the entire image and does not limit the overlay of your brush area)

    This feature is available in cs3? On a friends computer, we found the option 'See the overlay' that shows all of the overlay image, but there is no obviouse to the clipped option.

    If it does not exist, where is it?

    Thank you

    CS3 has the clone source overlay, as you have found it, but doesn't have the Cup

    option, which was new in cs4.

    For most people who start using the clone source overlay, it is really confusing

    If your used to previous versions of photoshop, so that was probably a complaint in

    CS3 and adobe added the option cut to make it easier to use. You can try to check

    auto hide box, so that when you actually use the Clone Stamp tool, you will not see the

    overlay.

  • Strange problems of the corrector CS5 & Clone tool

    When I option click a pick point to heal or clone, and then release the mouse or stylus, the remains of the area sampled in the diameter of the brush, even if I've not healed or whatever it be cloned again.  Simply move the mouse or pen autour includes the image in the sampled area everywhere in the image.  What gives?

    Was not always like that, just the last few days.  For example, if I select with a face, lips, and then move the brush on the cheek, lips image remains in the area of the brush.  Very frustrating.  Any help would be appreciated.  It is with the healing brush and clone stamp tools.

    Mac OS 10.6.3 MacPro 2 X 3 GHz Quad - Core Intel 16 GB of ram NVIDIA GE Force 8800 GT GPU CS5 running in 32-bit mode.

    It's a preference that was added in Photoshop CS4 to get a glimpse of the cloned area (which makes it easy to align).

    Go to the palette of Source of duplication and clear "Show picture" If you do not want to see the preview.

    You might want to take the time to read about the palette Source of duplication and the options it offers - it can really speed up many of the common tasks of cloning.
