Anybody else on Photoshop CC notice how the Clone Stamp no longer works right. It's slow and sampling results are all over the place. Had to switch back to CS6.

Here it is normal, try to reset Photoshop settings as it solves most of the weird behavior.

There is a thread on Adobe about this, so I'm not alone.

Resetting did not help. BTW I'm on Windows 7 64bit.

Win x64 here too...
Try to update the video driver or disable the use of the graphics processor.

I think they went too soon to the cloud.  They haven't even finished de-bugging CS6 !

It's practically impossible to get plugins to work in the 64bit CC version of PS.  I can't get Nik in there even after trying half a dozen suggestions. They do show up in the 32bit version.   Freaky.    When you try to install them in the 64bit version, that version doesn't show up in the panel that tells you which products it will install it into.

Even after manually putting the plugins in the right directory, they still don't show up.  OnOne's plugins have the same problem. They don't show up under extensions or the automate windows.


BTW  the full Cloud deal has a promotion for $19.99 for the first year now if you have a qualifying product already (CS6 qualifies)   You cancel your current cloud subscription, then sign up for the promotion.

I had to disable the graphics processor in order to get rid of some similar misbehaviours with the clone tool and some performance issues with the brush tool. (Windows 7 x64)

And the Refine Edge is definitely not as good as CS6 version.

If they had fixed CS6 first, nobody would have any reason to move to the cloud for a couple of years at least. They are hoping bug fixes will encourage people to move to the cloud.

They probably screwed up Clone Stamp on purpose so they can push out the fix and tout "look how great the Almighty Cloud is. A problem is reported and we can have it fixed immediately! Praise be to the Cloud, maker of our money stream!"

That's really strange, all my plug ins simply required a reinstall. Both Nik and OnOne have directions on their sites for installing into CC, and all i did was follow those instructions. OnOne and nik both working fine with CC 64bit for me.

I would expect much more of these kinds of issues with the new CC paradigm of fine-granularity enhancements pushed on you. Regression testing is not going to be as thorough, for instance, as in the longer conventional development/release cycle.

I wish. This problem has been posted on Adobe's forums for 2 weeks, and they haven't even acknowledged the problem yet!

I have trouble with the clone and healing brushes, it seems as though if I try to sample too fast they just clap out and start grabbing samples from anywhere, it works just fine if I do very deliberate and slow sampling and brushing... but cmon man "aint nobody got time for that"..

This is the exact problem I have.
Maybe if more people with this issue post a message here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1246640?tstart=0  ,one day Adobe will respond to it.

My healing brush tool also lags for both CS6 and CC.
If I don't wait 0.5 seconds for PS to analyze the targeted area, it won't heal where I click.
In addition, my image's pixels scramble when zooming in during crop.
What a waste.

This sounds more like a display card/driver issue. Check your settings in preferences.
