Clone Tool

Tracy · May 22, 2024, 12:39:28 PM

Not sure what they did with the clone tool
but when I go to clone something it grabs the entire image
I see there is a clone pallet, they totally ruined the clone stamp
and I need it!!

you probably have a huge brush selected. Do you see the round circle when you option click to select the clone sample?

oh, what version of Photoshop?

Tracy · May 22, 2024, 12:55:21 PM

omg I was just posting that my brush size was 5000px
sheesh!
Thanks David!

I did not see the round circle!!

Good one Tracy!

I was a hero once for a HS ROP class... "none of their fonts work in Illustrator".
Well I figured out pretty quick that someone had fiddled with the Greek type below ____ pt. setting and had it at like 1000

When I looked online and someone had the same problem and it was like
a full on conversation about it, and he was all NVM I got it figured out

Sometimes it's just the smallest things that can trip you up. Stuff you wouldn't think about. Going way, way back, I worked second shift with an AM Varityper. When I came to work, I found out they had been waiting all day for a fixit guy to come from 75 miles away. They couldn't get the thing to load the software from the 8-in. program floppie. I just happened to see that the caps lock was on, so I took it off, tried the load button, and whaddya know?

You should have seen the look on the boss' face when I told him what was wrong. Saved them the cost of a service call.

My situation was different, I was on a PIA advisory board and then ended up helping (Rick?) the teacher and TA out sometimes. I also used to give them paper that was quite useable for them but destined for the recycle on our shop floor. Good times.

Tracy · May 23, 2024, 12:50:18 PM

I remember PIA! yes good times
I like going to school, can I just do that Sensei?

I just had a good one! We all just went to OS 13 Ventura and it's been fine, but one operator complained that the red / green / blue window buttons were grey. We saw he could go up a bit so we went to 13.6.6 and it didn't help...
IT was stumped...
Whelp, it was his general appearance setting of "graphite" that was doing it, I changed it to blue or whatever and he's fixed

born2print · May 23, 2024, 01:21:37 PM

Cat on the keyboard?

I have a monitor stand just for that reason. I slide my keyboard underneath it when I'm not there.
