#Why is my clone stamp tool not working Patch

can someone tell me what is going on?!?ġ) Pattern stamp tool works but clone stamp tool does not.Ģ) Despite the tool not working (no effect on photo at all), it shows up in the history as if it has been used.īy the way, I tried it with 100% hardness on contrasting backgrounds so it's very obvious that it's not working. seems like it does not work but I'm not sure since I think it could be very subtle and I can't be bothered to fiddle around just for testing. I opened the file in CS3 again and also pattern stamp and brush works but clone stamp does not! Then I tried dodge tool. And the strange thing! I tested pattern stamp tool and it worked!!! So patten stamp works but clone stamp does not work! OK, so I closed CS3 and then opened CS2 (yah, i kiasu la, got backup photoshop) and opened the same file. Then I opened CS3 again and opened the same file and tried to use clone stamp tool. Anyway, I saved the file and closed the Photoshop CS3.

I am working on Hintergrund Kopie and this are the.

#Why is my clone stamp tool not working Patch

Can you give me some hints what to try to fix this As the title says Clone Stamp and Patch tools dont do anything. So I saved the file (actually I can't remember whether this problem started after I saved file or after I made new layer now, a bit confused). Hi guys, I already googled a lot about this problem and tried out most of the suggested fixes but they dont seem to work.

So I deleted this new layer and went back to do the edit on the original layer. When I used it, it would show up in the history, but have no effect on the photo at all. Then after i created a new layer, it stopped working. Well, I was editing this photo and using clone stamp tool a lot. Switching between targeting one layer and all layers can sometimes also be useful.Wonder is there a limit to how much u can use a tool? This also makes it easier to use less than 100% opacity with the stamp, which is a good idea for avoiding obvious repetition. A few days ago - imported a jpg into Paint as usual, went to use the clone tool and it just doesnt work any more. Hi folks, For years I have used the clone tool happily which has been great for touching up photos on Photo-paint 12. just paint it out), then refine that by clone stamping over that area: this way slight overlaps will be less serious. Clone tool not working - help very much appreciated. If this is a big pain, sometimes it's easier to scrub away the thing you're trying to remove crudely (e.g. The simple answer is to clone-stamp a little bit at a time when the source starts to get close to where you started - stamp a little, release, stamp a little, release.Īlso, resample from different locations often - partly to avoid this, partly because otherwise if your clone-stamping catches up with itself you'll end up with a visible repeating pattern as you clone what you've already cloned.

Why it happens is perfectly natural - the clone stamp doesn't actually apply until you finish painting and release pen/mouse button - but I also always found it counter-intuitive and kept forgetting it would happen - after the thing is no longer visible on the screen I'd stop thinking about it. I used to find this really annoying and ran into it all the time. For example, I have two images inside of a shape on their respective layers. If you have the incorrect layer chosen in the Layers Panel, your adjustments may be hidden or sampling the wrong thing. You're trying to 'clone stamp away' something, then your stamp source cursor reaches where you started painting over the thing you're trying to remove, and suddenly that thing (which by now is not visible on the screen) starts getting painted back in again? Why is clone stamp not working in Photoshop The most common reason why the Clone Stamp stops working is simply that the wrong layer is selected.
