    Default clone tool not working

    Help! My clone tool, dodge / burn tools, and others are not working. I don't think I've changed anything. Opacity and Flow are 100% and I've tried it on a background layer with no other layers on top. It's not picking any pixels. I really needed to get to work here so any advice is immediately appreciated!

    Ellen:

    If it's a 16 bit scan, convert to 8 bit.

    Otherwise, I'd suggest the usual "cure all" might be in order: reset prefs.

    Ah-Ha- Lessons learned. I bought a wacom tablet a week ago and apparently changed some settings. The tools work with the pen and tablet but not with the mouse. I'm glad I haven't lost it but now I have to figure out how to get both mouse and pen to work! Thanks for the look!
