Create blank layer and move it on top of Layer's stack. Just click and drag it on top. Use Clone Stamp and ensure that Sample in the Options bar is set to All Layers as shown on screenshot below.

    As I told you in my previous reply, I did what you recommended to do, to create a blank layer to use for cloning, and it worked.  However, I just created a new blank layer on top of the other blank layer to do skin smoothing in the Neural Filter in the Filter's menu.  As you can see in the attached picture, it couldn't be completed because the selected area is empy.  Any tips, please.

    For some reason it didn't work for me. If you look at the pictures I sent you, which would be the top most visible layer you see that I should choose.  

    Thank you for your help.


    Create blank new layer then move it on the top of Layers stack, above any group and layer. Ensure you have English keyboard as input, press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E. It will create merged layer, nothing will visually change on your screen, only in the Layers panel. Apply filters to that layer.

    Layer > New > Layer (there is also a button the the Layers Panel)

     

    But the Tools need to be set accordingly (in the Options Bar). 

    So the Clone Stamp Tool for example to »Sample: Current & Below«.
