How did I break my clone stamp

Ive always been able to use the clone stamp with blending set to lighten or darken and sample areas and then, without changing the image details, lighten and darken areas. Tonight, it seems to only want to let me clone in the normal way where it will replace the entire pixels, not just their luminosity. WTF did I do?

CAPS LOCK??

Nope, its the same caps lock on or off. I normally have it off, but thanks!

You can always reset the Clone Stamp Tool to its default.

Select the Clone Stamp tool from the Tools panel; then in the left end of the Options bar you'll see an icon for the Clone Stamp tool. Right-click on that Options bar icon and select "Reset tool."

Thanks pixel but that didnt work either. Maybe I should just go to bed...

Post a screen shot.

Thanks for the help everyone. I dunno what was going on but it works again as per "normal". I didnt do anything that Im aware of that changed it one way or the other. Silly PS.

frustrating, uh?

I wasn't even aware you could do that, I have only ever used clone stamp to clone.
Its hard to go a day without learning something new...
