Clone Stamp Issue

When I try to use my clone stamp tool a message pops up that says Could not use the clone stamp because the area to clone has not been defined.

I option click to define a source as I've been doing for years but something has changed and it's not working. I use this tool all the time and I'm stumped. Can someone help?

Thank you!

    Thanks for your suggestions. It is working and I'm not sure what I did but I am very happy!

    Hi

    If you are cloning onto an empty layer set the sample options to Current and Below.

    Note : You can also set the sample source to All layers but be aware it will not blend correctly if there are adjustment layers above the layer being sampled and stamped.

    Make sure the correct layer is selected.

    That is a Photoshop function... do you want to have this question moved to the Photoshop forum?
