Hi,

I read the various posts about the clone tool but I've not been able to resolve the problem. It was working fine yesterday. I was working on a large project with many layers so I tried saving my work as a ping and starting a new project - so just a single layer now - still no luck though. The clone tool is set to 100% opacity (as is the layer) and the brush softness is at 0%. I see the circle ready to clone but when I click, nothing happens.

Pixelmater Pro Version 3.2.3 (Lumiere)

I'm using:
macOS Big Sur
Version 11.7.3
MacBook Air Mid 2013

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Hi Anna, could you check if the Clone tool blend mode is set to Normal?:

Hello,
It's me again. I can't remember how the problem with the clone tool was resolved last time but I think it just decided to start working again without me doing anything (sorry for not replying to your post). I am now having the same problem. Clone tool was working yesterday but now nothing happens. I have 'sample all layers' on, opacity 100%, softness at 0. I've closed the program and restarted it but still no luck.
Thanks
