AP 1.5.1.54 Windows, Video Clone Source 1.5, Error Messages

[artofmtl]

Hi, I was following the video https://player.vimeo.com/video/192599318/and when I was cloning from different images following the same steps in the video I've receive 2 errors messages. After those messages I've retry and still did not work. I've rebooted my PC and still the same messages. Thank you

Hi Artofmtl,

I've just followed through that video using AP 1.5.1.54  and the original images James used for the tutorial and I didn't get crashes what so ever.

Would it be possible for you to attach the files you are trying to use and roughly at what stage in the tutorial (as a time code) is it crashing for you?

 

Thanks.

The files that I am using are more than 25mg each, I don't know if it is allowed to upload them. Tonight I will repeat the exercise and take some notes as when I get the crash. Thanks

Hi Sean, tonight I've try again with three images and it worked without any problems. I don't know why I've received the error message yesterday and what I was doing wrong but tonight it worked. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I have uploaded the files anyway and here's what I did tonight.

 

Don't pay attention in the subject of the images because they were used just to follow the video.

 

1st I've open my 3 images (Artofmtl_0095.dng, Artofmtl_0566.dng and Artofmtl_0004.NEF)

I want to clone from Artofmtl_0004.NEF to Artofmtl_0095.dng and from Artofmtl_0566.dng to Artofmtl_0095.dng.

 

I selected the image on which I want to clone from Artofmtl_0004.NEF.

I selected / View / Studio / Sources.

I click on add New Source and the image appears in the sources panel.

I selected the Clone Brush tool.

Then I double click on the chosen Global Source, now the cursor change so you can select the source.

I decided to select a part of the image at the bottom left.

I apply just one click on the part of the image to clone and you can see a circle on the image in the sources panel.

 

Then I've move over to the Artofmtl_0095.dng image.

I selected the Clone Brush tool.

In the sources panel I can see the image from Artofmtl_0004.NEF.

Then I click once on the image in the Sources Panel and the clone source appeared.

I increased the brush size and set the hardness at zero.

Then I click and start dragging and bring the rock from Artofmtl_0004.NEF on the Artofmtl_0095.dng.

So far everything works fine.

 

Now I've move to the Artofmtl_0566.dng image and decided what I wanted to clone on the Artofmtl_0095.dng.

I click on add New Source and the image appears in the sources panel.

I selected the Clone Brush tool.

Then I double click on the chosen Global Source, now the cursor change so you can select the source.

I decided to select a part of the image at the bottom right.

I apply just one click on the part of the image to clone and you can see a circle on the image in the sources panel.

 

Then I've move over to the Artofmtl_0095.dng image.

The Clone Brush tool was already selected.

In the sources panel I click once on the new source Artofmtl_0566.dng and I can see the new clone source.

Then I click and start dragging and bring the tree from Artofmtl_0566.dng on the Artofmtl_0095.dng.

Everything works fine.

 

Then to make sure it worked, I went back to the image Artofmtl_0004.NEF.

Added a New source.

I selected the Clone Brush tool.

Then I double click on the new Global Source, now the cursor change so you can select the source.

Then I apply just one click on the part of the image to clone and you can see a circle on the image in the sources panel.

 

Then I've move over to the Artofmtl_0095.dng image.

I selected the Clone Brush tool.

In the sources panel I can see the new source from Artofmtl_0004.NEF.

Then I click on the image in the Sources Panel and the clone source appeared.

I started cloning with no problems.

So far everything works fine.

 

I must have done something wrong yesterday. Thank you for your help and if I receive this message again I will contact the good support of Serif.

Thanks for the files Jacques and the extremely detailed steps. I've followed them through but have been unable to reproduce the crash. Had you opened multiple raw files when it initially crashed at all? It could be actions prior to the cloning that caused a knock on effect.

Hi Sean, yes I had multiple raw files ( Nef and Dng) open and maybe you're right I might I have done something with the raw file that crash AP. I also tried it with an afphoto and 2 raw files and it was ok so I must have done something that AP did not like. If it happens again I will try to remember the steps I was doing. Again thank you for your help. Jacques
