Is the layer you will work on a pixel layer or a image layer?

An image layer has to rasterize to manipulate them.

Thank you.  I changed the layer and now it works. Thank you very much.

When I have trouble with the Clone/Stamp tool I find that i have the opacity too low or I am using a brush with built in low opacity. Choose a Basic brush set the opacity to 100% Make sure you have a pixel layer chosen that has something you wish to actually copy/clone/stamp as pixels.

Thank you so much.  I changed the layer and now it works.  Thank you, thank you so much.

Hell @Bill Warner and welcome to the forums.

Maybe you have forgotten one step, so can you tell about your workflow? Or better, can you provide a screen-recording of the steps you do?

I click on the clone tool. I move the circle to the area on my picture I want to copy, I push on alt & click & move the circle to the place I want to copy & it does nothing.

it doesn't make sense.

A month we purchases Affinity for improving our photos.  We have Window 10. This morning I was using the clone tool with no problems but this afternoon it will not copy.  Is there a button I have pushed to cause the clone tool not to work? I turned off & on my computer but that did not help.
