Am using Photoshop 22.5.6 on Mojave 10.14.6. Clone Stamp has been working fine until a few hours ago. It will not copy exact. Clone is much lighter. I have reset Clone Stamp and rebooted PS but no improvement. I am working on correct layer. Nothing I have tried fixes issue. Issue began happening right in middle of project. I am working on layer 4 of image. I have noticed that PS keeps reverting to base/background layer. If I look at History, then go back to Layers, Background Layer is now selected.

Is the blend mode of the clone stamp set to normal? Can you post a screen shot showing your settings?

Everything looks right.

Is it only happening with this particular document? Does the same thng happen in any other?

Last chance suggestion: To the right of your "Current Layer" is the toggle switch to ignore adjustment layers. Yours is off. Does it make a difference to turn it on? (I know it shouldn't, since you've already turned off the adjustment layers and changed the focus to Current Layer)

Might have to try a full preference reset.

A couple of things:

Make sure your Clone tool is painting at 100% opacity

or

Do you have any adjustment layers on any of the affected layers?

HI Brad. Thanks for replying.

Am a longtime user. Yes on the 100% opacity. I tried everything that I know of. Worked directly on the image layer which is at 100% also. All layers above are off and the Sample on Current Layer is selected. I also tried merging all layers and worked on that one. Same thing happened. I also tried cloning in many different locations on the image. I am dead in the water without that Clone Stamp. Was in the middle of getting an image ready to publish.
