I'm lost with this one, up until a couple of days ago when i used the Patch tool it was fine...did my outline moved it over the bit that i wanted it to be replaced with and hey presto a perfect copy...but now when i do it it shows the new piece clear until i release and then it goes all cloudy..What really is confusing me is that this has happened on my home PC and my work one so god knows what i have done...i have Transparent unchecked and it is behaving the same whether i use source or destination...
Sorry this must sound naff if you don't use Photoshop but would some Photoshop expert help me out....Its CS2 if ot helps...
Any ideas ..
Thanks
Anthony

I can't see a mode option when using patch tool, its a fresh opened image and its doing it with any picture..it was working fine a few days ago...

If the image shows, the bit which is fuzzy it the bit that i have patched, when i drag the patch over to the black area its shows all ok and is black but whn i release its does this...

And i can't work out why it has happened on 2 Pc's...

That looks like you have used the healing brush rather than patch - it is on the same tool selection button.

Just reset the tool I reckon. Seems to solve most weirdness like that.
