Hello

Thanks

Have you selected the pattern stamp tool in error?
 
No definatly not just checked and tried it again, uploaded a photo of a Blue Subaru into cs5 selected the clone tool and tried to clone some grass onto the car, the area that I was trying to clone into went a sort of Sepia colour, like as if I was trying to do selective colouring!
 
have you got the right layer selected ? - the usual cause of a non working clone tool is having an adjustment layer on top of the main one, and having that selected in error.
 
I'd guess that in the foreground & background colours panel (btm lhs) you have grey set, rather than pure black or white. It's a common mistake when masking layers as well.
 
Hello
I have only opened 1 photo I have not created another layer, and I have checked the foreground and background colours and they are Black and White.
Still won't work and its doing my head now !!!!
