I'm trying to use the Clone Tool and keep getting the not active status icon - i.e. the circle with a slash through it image next to the tool pointer and nothing happens on the image when I click on it. Tried various images, tried shutting down and re-opening Gimp. I'm sure it's something simple I'm overlooking. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks.

Did you first hit Ctrl and then click on what you want to clone and then start cloning?

Hint: Always worth looking for the tip, bottom of the Gimp window

   

...and if you do not like the on-line Gimp manual, as a English PDF here: https://gimp.linux.it/www/meta/gimp-help-2.10-en.pdf 40 MB 1070 pages
