Clone luminosity tool.

[giorgiog65005265]

Hi! When I set the cloning tool on the Luminosity method it just acts as when it's set to Normal, i.e. it just clones the initial area. The same can be said if I set it to Darker or Lighter.

I am working on a single layer and the Tone, Color and Saturation methods are working fine.

This has been the case for all the versions of Photoshop I used up to now (the latest).

P.S. I hope I have the names of the tools right since I'm translating from Italian!

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible?

The grid seems to have been applied so what is the problem? 

Why do you want to Clone Stamp with Blend Mode Luminosity?

You are right! I see only now that the underlying image is somewhat preserved. I guess I misinterpreted the funcionality of this tool.

Anyway, I was trying to remove a green flare. I managed to remove the green, clone tone and color.

Now I have to find a way to remove the halos that are left over.
