Clone Stamp in CS2 I have Photoshop CS2, and in editing some photos, I have discovered that my clone stamp is not working. It is as though it is somehow "turned off". Does anyone have an idea why and how I can fix this? Thanks.

I'll bet you've got the settings at the top of the page set to something funky (technical jargon). I'd check the Mode (normal), check the Opacity and the Flow ... you've changed one of those most likely. I've even changed the shape of my brush when I was a beginner 8 years ago and it took me 1 week to figure out how to change it back.

It STILL takes me a week to figure out how to change it back. LOL

On your layers palette, make sure you have selected the background. If you have been working on other layers such as curves, etc., the clone stamp will not work until you select your background layer (your primary image). I catch myself doing this all the time. Ray

I've done what Ray was talking about before also ... but I'll bet it was 1 of the 1st 3 I pointed out since Rays is a more intermediate/advanced error than my 3 beginner errors.

Also, if you are working on a new edit layer and not directly on the background (as you should always do), you will need to check the box at the top of the work space that says "sample all layers."

Hmmm, none of the above was the problem. Any other ideas? All the other tools seem to be working correctly

You can contact Adobe but I think they'll make you pay. You can join the Forum and there are total experts to help you for free. Ask to send a screen shot.

not working period? Or the cursor doesn't look the same?? Because if it's the latter, you have your caps lock on and need to turn it off.

She mentioned everything but that was working so I didn't think it was the curser.

No, it's not working period. It's not the caps lock, the cursor looks the same. And, the program thinks it is working. If I attempt to use the clone stamp nothing happens, but when I look under "edit" it gives me the option to undo the clone stamp. Also when I close the photo and the clone stamp is the only thing I used I am asked if I want to save my changes. I have no idea what is going on!

What is displayed on your layers?

I'd go to Adobe's site, reload the software or have a beer...my friends say the Beer doesn't help but I refuse to believe their words.

The background with the "eye" on one side and a lock on the other side

I think I have it figured out. It is a problem with my mouse. I have a new bamboo tablet with a mouse. When I use the mouse built in to my laptop or my old wireless mouse it works. I wonder why?

you need to go to the mouse website and download the updated drivers for the mouse.

I'll do that. Thank you all for your help.
