Healing in develop turns black and white

[martina s]

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 ?

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.

That fixed it, thanks Per Berntsen!

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'.
