Clone stamp copies the whole image at once instead of the part I chose

[ishay5C74]

Hi, I have started to edit with photoshop today and learned some of the tools.

And I looked at the stamps settings and touched some of them and now when I try to copy a small part of the image it copies the whole image, How can I fix this?

Thanks.

Is »Clipped« checked?

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, Clone Source, …) visible? 

What is the Tool’s diameter? 

Does the Tool actually copy the whole image or only display it without actually affecting the active Layer? 

[ishay5C74]

Yes it just displays it because when i move to other tools the the copy is gone and when i choose the stamp gain the copy is back

I fail to see the Clone Source Panel in the screenshots so please provide the screenshots I actually asked for. 

Is »Clipped« checked? 

[ishay5C74]

Nvm i unchecked "Show overlay" under clone source

[c.pfaffenbichler]

I asked about »Clipped«, not »Show Overlay« … so please try checking both »Show Overlay« and »Clipped«.

but thanks anyways

Edit: I hope these screenshots help you understand what I was hinting at.

yes, see screen recording.
When I select the clone stamp tool, it moves a duplicate of the whole layer.

Where is the Clone Source Panel? 

Is »Clipped« checked?

Is »Clipped« checked? 

[melissar58585974]

ah, 'clipped' wasn't checked. I ticked the box and now it works. Thank you!
I don't ever remember unselecting it, but am relieved.

I have clipped selected and still have the problem 🤔

Also I know you are helping c.pfaffenbicher, but can you not post screen shots of what should be ticked & not ticked to have this working correctly? as you are obviously an expert but the shorthand posts are a not really helping as with the menus rearranged everytime the thing updates I spend so much time just trying to do what ive done (in a short range) for ages, thansk again for your assistance Regards BjW, I cant really post screen shots due to what I am working on its confidential work.

[c.pfaffenbichler]

Then please create a sample file (a simple pattern or gradient) and post a screenshot featuring that.
