Question

Clone stamp source crosshair not following the source area

Hello Everyone, when using the clone stamp tool it works fine but the cross cursor (source area) wont follow the parts that I are cloning (it stay in the same place) and only happens when using a wacom tablet and pen. Using the clone stamp tool with the mouse works fine.

I am running Photoshop CC 2020 v21.2.2 on Windows 10 desktop.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Geee... several updates later (v 22.2) and still the same issue with Windows Ink. What's the matter with Adobe to neglect tablets for a program that is meant to be used for graphic work? I am so annoyed right now. 

    Thanks you all for the hints how to - again - use workarounds like the one that was needed to show the softness/hardness  of a brush when using a tablet.

    Yes, it is still an issue in 21.2.3.  Unchecking Windows Ink fixes the follow issue but breaks the pen pressure. Wish I understook coding so I can see if this is even possible for Windows Ink, Photoshop and Wacom to live in harmony.

    Hi

    Did you add the PSUSerConfig.txt file to this location

    C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2020\Adobe Photoshop 2020 Settings

    Pen pressure works fine for me with Windows Ink disabled

      I noticed this issue in 21.2.2 and it still occurs for me in 21.2.3. 

       

      Can confirm that unticking 'Use Windows Ink' in Wacom prefs fixes it. 

      I *really* hope Adobe ditches Windows Ink. It is causing a crazy amount of bugs and they're trying to force it on us 😕😕

        Same problem for me as well. Using Wacom Intuos small.

        'Aligned' is not activated and my source is marked with a crosshair, not with a circle. Caps Lock is not active.

        Hello JJMack

        I was afraid of that. I will try updating the wacom drivers to the latest.

        That usually only happens if Aligned is deselected. Is that the case?

        Hello Barbara_Ash

         

        This is not the case, I checked the Aligned option and it is selected.

         

        Thank you.
