hi guys

just ran into a weird problem tonite

Been using the clone stamp to edit photos of night time images where the camera moved and produced star trails or double stars.

resulting in a reasonable looking starfield behind the aurora image

But tonite I fired up PS and loaded a new image and the clone stamp isnt cloning.  as usual using the ALT key to pick the place to clone from

then click on the places where to clone to. But what is happening is a black area is produced instead of the cloned area

Image1 original, image2 edited yesterday image3  trying to edit tonite  see the black brush dot and line instead of the cloned selection ?

what the heck happened between yesterday's use of clone stamp and tonite's use of it ??

Win10 and PS subscription

thanks lots

Dave
