Ok. This may seem weird, but I think my clone stamp tool is broken. lol It only fills up about half of the space its supposed to, and at only about 40, 50% transparency.

I have checked and triple checked, but I must be forgetting something...

I have CS3 on a PPC Mac. If anyone else has this problem and/or any ideas as to how to fix it, please let me know.


Here's a screen shot:



The brush size I used was 129, but it only draws about 30.

Aligned is off. Here's another screenshot, but this one show most of the settings:




I'll have to watch the tut in a couple hours.

Thanks for your help.

What SPLODGE sez.


AND, if all else fails, DELETE your CS3 Photoshop PREFERENCES file and reboot photoshop. You'll have to reset your preferences again to your liking but that will clean up any "weird" Photoshop behavior (9 times out of 10).

I copied this from someone else's site, it seems to be correct:

If you want to DELETE your preferences.

How to:

A: Hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys (Mac: Command, Option, Shift) while starting Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences file.

A2: You can also simply search your hard drive for a *.psp file and delete it. It will be called something along the lines of "Adobe Photoshop X Prefs.psp".


GOOD LUCK!

And why weren't your layers showing, It's just not polite to go around showing but not to have your layers showing, your mother should spank you for that! Laughing

You know, I feel like a new person. I normally don't go around showing my layers all will-nilly, but now that I have, I may have to re-think my position on full-frontal layer showing. Laughing
