    Have followed many of your tutorials, but now I’m getting erratic, random responses from the cloning and pattern stamps, eraser and magic extractor: sudden randomly placed white lines and spots. The UNDO button, if used several times in a row, is now causing a program crash and all work to be lost (doesn’t show up in recent files).Will reloading the program lose all my work, brushes, patterns, fx etc are in preset files. Help! I wanna keep following your lead…

      Jennifer,

      Why don’t you ask about this in the forum – maybe someone can help you with the problems you are experiencing. I wonder if resetting Preferences might help?

        Done! and you are correct (thank-you!), but I wish I understood why it happens….

    I love this idea! I’ve only used the pattern stamp tool on occasion, but this idea is going to have me getting it out a lot more often!

    Thanks for the great video!

    Very well presented and illustrated. This video expanded my ideas for using the pattern stamp which I haven’t used much. Thanks
