I have been using clone stamp for ages on my iMac. Suddenly it no longer works. I Option click on an area but it will not apply where I want. Also the same problem using the Healing Brush tool. Sometimes I get a pink color smear! I have tried everything I can think of. Opening the Mac is safe mode, restoring photoshop prefs. to default and resetting the tool settings.

Correct answer Kevin Stohlmeyer

CS6 is not supported on Mojave.

El Cap was the last version to have a stable version of CS6.

You can try to hack and code your way to make it work, but in the end your options are to downgrade your OS (not fun on a Mac) or upgrade your Photoshop.

Have you looked at the Photoshop Photography Plan for $9.99/mo?

I have a similar problem. Clone stamp tool and healing brush doesn't work when I create layers for frequency separation. I have reset the tool, restarted my computer several times and it still doesnt work.

Same problem as above - clone stamp won't work on Photoshop Elements 2019, Mac Mojave 10.14.6. Spent 60 minutes with phone support, did a new install of the app.. All to no avail. Prolem just started two days ago..

Hi, I’m having the same problem with the clone stamp. I have got the Mac OS Mojave version 10.1 4.6. I’m using Photoshop 20.0.6. I am unable to get my clone stamp to work. Every so often it will just stop working. It acts like it’s going to use the point that I selected but then when I go to clone something, the + goes inside my circle and it will not clone. Very frustrating please assist. Thank you.
