When trying to touch up b&w photos, the clone stamp, or brush blends in with the area that I want to work on so I can’t see it, is there a way to make the tool colored so that it’s easy to see? Know what I mean?

Are you on a Mac or a PC? What version of Photoshop?

Yes, it does.

On the Mac, you do not have this problem. The cursor disappears over gray areas in the PC because of a technical limitation in Microsoft Windows which is not present in Mac OS.

In Photoshop CS, Adobe took the features in Mac OS that make the cursor visible over gray areas and implemented it in the PC version of Photoshop, though the consequence of that is a drastic slowdown of the way tools behave, especially on machines with slower processors.

I was gonna say look down your pants but..

a workaround is to make an adjustment layer like levels then throw it out later
or a sheer color overlay layer
make sure to untick "use all layers" for clone tool
