I hope this is just me being stupid…
I’m running Windows 98 and Photoshop Elements 2.0
When I select the clone stamp tool and press and hold the Alt key the cursor changes to a ‘target’. While holding the Alt key down I click the left mouse button. Then release the button and then release the Alt key. Next I move the circular cursor to the region of interest and click the left mouse button. Every time I get a message: "Could not complete your request because the area to clone has not been defined. (Alt-click to define a source point)."
I’ve tried this on a freshly loaded file, on an unlocked copy of the layer, and, following the procedure outline in the knowledge base, turned off all running program using Ctrl/Alt/Delete except Photoshop Elements and Explorer. No change.
Anyone know a solution??
