Interesting shots!!
Very bright and clear.
Love them!!

Question though: What are in the small cups in with the Christmas Cacti??
My wife has two of the cacti's and was wandering if the cups help in the "tending" for he buds. flowers, etc?
Her lants are blooming like crazy too.
Thanks

I can't tell you what's wrong without seeing what you're actually doing, but here are the common mistakes I make with the clone stamp tool.

1. try to clone onto the locked background layer. It doesn't work.

2. After creating a blank layer to clone on (i.e. non-destructive editing), at the top selection bar, I fail to set 'Select' to 'Current and Below". There are no pixels to clone if you leave that selection on "Current Layer"

3. My most common mistake is to leave the 'Mode' set to 'Overlay' or 'Soft Light' (or some other blend mode) in the top selection bar. The Clone Stamp tool needs the 'Mode' set to 'Normal'.

While these may not be your issue, these are my mistakes that cause me problems using the clone stamp tool.

Thanks for the information!! Yes, I'd bet this is more than half my problem / issue!!
One thing I do not understand is the fact that in the photo, I'm sitting on a Brown couch.
I CAN clone in the Brown area, but NOT from the Gray area of the wall!!
WHY???
Still, good information, just being able to apply it is a great issue!!!
Thanks for your reply to me. I srudy each UHH members thoughts and ideas. Still have issues with the clone tool!

The background layer may be locked - does it show a padlock at the right hand end? If so you can click on it to unlock. That may let you clone the layer directly but I wouldn’t do that in case you mess up. Instead, hold control and choose the J key. That will make a copy of the layer (and it won’t be locked). Now click on the ‘new layer’ icon just in from the right hand end of the bar at the bottom of the layers stack. From memory it’s a rectangle but dither over it and it will probably tell you. That gives you a new blank layer above the copied layer. Now, with the clone tool chosen, check along the the top bar to ensure you are on ‘current and below’ - if it says ‘all layers’ change it to ‘current and below’. Now try cloning on the blank layer. Hope this helps - but don’t forget to check out the bits Fstop suggested, they are easy to miss!
EDIT: Just checked, the new blank layer icon is square with a plus sign in the centre!

magnetoman: no, the background layer was not locked.
I made a new layer (Cont-J), it was locked. I unlocked it and attempted to clone, nope!!
Could not doit!!

I hope to contact Adobe next week and discuss the issues I'm having with CS6extension.
It's an old program and as I recall, because it was a Student / Teacher edition, there were no updates.
(I was teaching, but not Photo-Shop, Criminal Justice)

Thanks again for the advice, really appreciate it!!
And thanks to the others that offered advice as well!!

No, I was not doing as you suggest
I opened the photo in CS6, tried to clone, nothing.
There was only one layer and was ladled as "background".
As an amature, i do not know about how to setup/use a blank layer.

Thanks for your response, I will study this suggestion more...still in the amature mode presently.

Are there layers in your image? If so, you need to be on the background layer to use the clone tool. Also, the clone tool should be in Normal mode. If it were in Lighten, or some other modes, it wouldn't work in this case.


JohnSwanda, no there was only the single photo with the layer being the background.
I did check the clone tool and it was set at a reasonable size/softness too.
I do believe it was in the Normal Mode as well.
However, I'll double check these tips you sent.

And really do appreciate what you have done with cloning me out !!

Thanks

Good HOT afternoon here in southern Kansas!!!
Low 90's for the past 6-8 weeks!!!
As my (God Bless Her Heart) Mother would say, "hotter than the hubs of Haydee's" - that would be "Hell"

My Issue with using the Clone tool with the photo attached.
You notice the large "Brown" spot at the far right in the photo?
I was using my phone to send a text.

I did not want my "mug" in the Great Granddaughter Karsyn's first year party, thus the clone.

However, I was able to clone out "me" using the brown leather color of the couch.
I then tried to clone out my head using the color of the wall.
COULD NOT CLONE!!
I tried using several spots and still the same, could not clone.

What have I done wrong??
Why will it not clone my head off as the color of the wall??

I'm using PS CS6, extended, Student and Teacher edition.
I've re-set the software several times, still no cloning.


Thanks for your help to tell me what I am doing wrong!!
I'm not asking for you to clone me outta da photo!
