Photoshop CS2 Problem

[littlesandra]

I'm having a problem with the clone stamp in adobe photoshop cs2, instead of cloning like it's supposed to, it just turns the portion I click on dark, I've tried closing down, restarting my computer, everything, but it won't go back to how it supposed to be.

Anything I can do to fix it other than reinstalling?

When your stamp tool is selected check to be sure its in "normal" mode?

Several things to think about, no matter silly they sound.

Are you sure you have the clone tool selected and not a dark brush?

It's possible to clone from 1 layer onto another. Are you sure what layer you are cloning from?

Check the blend mode of the clone tool. Is it set to darken or multiply? Overlay or other similar modes?

I'm about 90% sure it's one of those things, but I could be wrong.

One layer, not pattern clone or anything, not dark brush.

Check the blend mode of the clone tool. Is it set to darken or multiply? Overlay or other similar modes?

But the blend mode, darken or multiply, overlay etc, how would I check that. I'm just starting to get formally aquainted with cs2.



Actually, scratch it all! I figured it out, it was on linear burn instead of normal, at least you made me look! I've been two days trying to figure this out, thanks
