2023 healing brush tool and clone tools are selecting entire layer instead of area defined by brush

Healing brush and clone tools are selecting and duplicating entire layer instead of area defined by brush.

Have uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, it still does this. Working on PC and latest version of Photoshop.

Is there any help you can offer?

Hi

Try resetting the tools

If that doesn't help try a preference reset
