When I first reported this problem I was told it was because my wacom tablet was old, my computer was out of date etc. Now I have a brand new computer and a brand new wacom tablet and still if I am not careful my clone tool goes automatically alined when I select an area to be cloned the box ticks itself I can see it happen if I accidentally tap the pen twice in quick succession to the tablet when making a selection. Now this may be okay for you younger people with your steady as a rock hands but no matter how careful I am this is still happening by accident to me. Some may see it as a feature me I would just like to be able to turn it off.

My biggest problem with Photoshop is my love hate relationship with the Clone Stamp Tool.

I will be working with the aligned box unchecked and all of a sudden it is checked. This happens constantly!

How can I make it remain unchecked unless I want to check it?

Thanks,

Select the clone tool and reset from left end of Options bar

I almost daily reset all the tools.

Hello!

One thing that is bothering since forever is when working with the clone stamp tool and accidentally clicking twice when picking the source that is automatically activates the "same offset for each stroke" option. Unfortunately double-clicking again with the alt key doesn't reverse it so I have always have to go up in the option bar and deselect.

I see a certain use for that function but most of the time I rather not have it being active while stamping.

As far as I know there is no way to disable that behavior. Anyone else feeling the same about it?

Adobe... how about a tool tweak?
