1. Re: Could not use the clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined
Yeah, it sounds like a layers issue. If the area you're using to define the clone source is a transparent area on one of your layers, it won't work. Keep the Layers Palette open, and ensure you're using the image area (and not the mask area) -- if the image area of the layer is active, it will have a border around it.

If working on layered documents make sure you have sample all layers checked on the options bar. Otherwise keep the clone tool selected and choose reset tool from the dropdown menu on the left.

This problem came back up. I hadn't used PSE since last November and was frustrated to run into it again. I don't think it's a layers issue afterall.
I use a wireless keyboard and mouse on Mini and mouse on Air, although keyboard for Air is upstairs at a desk with monitor for occasional use. Regardless blue tooth is on for these devices. Problem exists. Turn bluetooth off on Air and the problem is gone. It must be related to option key when bluetooth is on, I guess some different mapping. Even when I have bluetooth on and try to use Option key on the Air keyboard it does not work.
So now where do I look for configs to check?
