I uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop. And the problem was still there. I would open up a photo. click on one small area to remove. And I would get the same gray or black. The same size as the remove tool. Then I realized. that the Remove area text box was not popping up. Showing the progression. I'm at a loss for what was happening. Some sort of anomaly but the remove area text box Is now popping up and everything seems to be working fine.  Thank you for your patience. I appreciate your help and I. hope this problem never comes back. (Whatever it was.)
