Question
l'outil clone et l'outil peintur ne fonctionnent pas..pas de probleme sur le reste.
 merci

Answer
Serge,

[Désolé, je ne parle pas français. Voici une réponse en Anglais.]

There are a couple of situations that could cause this.
I can't tell which one might apply, so check all of them.

1. Painting and Cloning only apply within the current mask.
 If you have a mask set, try painting within the mask, or
 changing the mask to the entire image.  Similarly, if you
 are working with objects, the painting or cloning will
 apply only in the object.  Try selecting the background
 object.

2. The paint brush or clone brush might have a size of 0
 or an opacity of 0.  In that case, the tool will be working
 but there will be no visible effect.  Check the tool
 settings in the toolbar.

3. The image could be open read-only.  Close it and re-open
 it.

4. It is also possible that PhotoPaint has just gotten confused.
 I've observed this with version 11, but never with version X3.
 Try closing and restarting PhotoPaint.


That's all I can think of right now.  Good luck...
