Perhaps someone could help me with this problem I have at present and that is cloning when I have layers. It is driving me mad and none of the books seem to help. I have an image with background layer and on top of this two l;evels layers and Hue and Saturation layer. I now realise I need to do some cloning but it wont let me do this or nothing seems to happen when I try. I have even flattened the image and tried to clone on the background put it keeps cloning just black sploges? I have tries adding a new empty layer but it wont let me clone on that either grrrr. Niether can I do a shadow highlights edit on the layers?
Make sure the brush Mode is set to 'normal' (top of screen ^^^)
By flattening the image, you will have reduced it to one layer.
Try saving that as an image, re-open it and then try cloning it again.
I don't really know why you're getting a black splodge from the cloning tool brush. I'd expect that from the paint brush tool.
Jester.
I've had this happen many times but sorry I don't have an answer other than I just presumed that you couldn't clone with layers because they are not all linked so did it once merged.

It did.
That's something new I've learned so "thanks very much"!
