Quick question, something that's bothered me for ages! In PSE or PS if I use the clone tool it works as it should but sometimes if I select a light area to clone over another light area, the cloned painted area is darker? It's weird as this darker area isn't the colour of the cloned area I'm taking the target from?

Any ideas?

Does the tool have a heal option? I often find a colour change if using heal, but none with cloning in Lightroom.

Check that you haven't got the clone tool blending mode accidentally set to something like multiply instead of normal
