unable to set source to use retouch

clone stamp, healing brush, are not allowing me to select source to use

as Marek mentioned, you should be able to hold own Alt key and click on an area that you want as your source. On Mac, hold down Option key.

Make sure that the layer you want to sample from is the active layer.

Also, check that the sample setting in the options bar is set to "Current & Below" or "All Layers" if you are cloning on a new, blank layer

Hey, @Darlene_Gonsalves0258. You've got the right advice from our Experts, @MarekMularczyk & @Barbara_A7519748.

Does the ALT key shortcut not work as expected? Does it work as expected when you use the 'Set Source' button?

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Are you using the Alt key and clicking to sample?

Are you getting any error message?
