Help please.
For some reason my cloning start poition has stopped working. Normally you select clone tool / press alt/ right click at position where you want to copy from /right click again at new position you want to copy to / I am now getting: "could not use clone stamp as area has not been defined". I thought it might be fault on keyboard, but is the same with new keyboard and I have reinstalled CS4.
Ideas please

Thanks Jules

okay, you say you press ALT + right click?

when I do it I press ALT + left click on the point I want to copy from ... have you tried that?

possibly also, you're trying to copy from a layer that has nothing on it.

those are the first two things to come to mind.
