Hi, I'm trying to use the clone tool but I'm not able to get it to paint the copied area.  I use Alt and click the area to clone and then release the alt where I want to put the cloned information (per the tutorial) but nothing is happening.  I've tried doing it multiple ways but nothing ever happens.  What am I doing wrong?

Pixel layer, not Image layer?

Hi had created a pixel layer, but it seems it was lost somehow. I added the layer again and it is working to some extent, I'm getting some harsh edges since I can't go far enough over to avoid them.  Also, I added the pixel layer but seem to have lost the background layer.

Not sure what you mean but if it is a layer named "Background" note that is just a default layer name used when you open a raster file type with a single-layer, like with normal JPEGs, among others.

There is nothing special about that name -- you can change the name of other layers to "Background" or have many with that name. It does not affect anything.

These tutorial videos may help you understand using the Clone Tool.
