It’s been months since I’ve had a chance to sit down and work on pictures that require lots of heavy cleanup, but I started one a couple of days ago. I’m doing something wrong, I think, and I’ll be grateful to the person who reminds me of the little "secret" I’m forgetting.
The task: Lots of cloning both to clean up and fill in missing portions of a very old picture in very bad condition. On the first day, I created several layers for specific areas like the fence, the siding on the house, and a face. I’ve been working in sections, so none of those pieces got finished before I ran out of time for the day. When I came back to work on it more, I found I couldn’t make any more changes to, for example, the layer in which I was making changes to the fence. ?? It was created via a duplicate layer, but when I click on it now, I can’t do any more cloning. Maybe I’m having a "senior moment", but I thought I remembered being able to do that before. No, huh?
I’ve just been adding more layers, which is working, but it’s bugging me that I can’t just go back and work on previously created layers again.
