Healing in develop turns black and white

Why does my color picture turn black and white in develop, healing mode. Quality is then so bad that healing is impossible. How do I get the colored picture back to heal/clone ?

Correct answer Per Berntsen

Uncheck Visualize spots on the toolbar below the image.

The purpose of this feature is to make it easier to identify dust spots.

You may inadvertently have pressed the A key, which toggles Visualize spots on/off.

Thanks... I've been working in that mode for months, on the assumption that the Mac was out of memory. Additionally, the tool bar was missing, so it wasnt obvious that I could change the visualisation setting.

 

FYi: In 'develop mode' you can toggle the toolbar on and off using the letter 't'.

Thank you vey much!
That thing was driving me crazy...
There are so many "hidden" functions like this that is impossible to keep track of everything that can ruin the lightroom workflow.
