Question

Clone tool repeating over & over after the first click!

HI,

I'm on CS5 Extended, and my clone tool has stopped working properly.  It is repeating itself over & over again after the first click.  For instance, I am trying to move a family over to the left a little bit.  The clone tool works as it should for just the first click.  After I release my curser and pick-up where I left off, the clone tool jumps back and repeats the initial source - so if I stop cloning at the face and click again, it is not remembering where it left off.  I am of course under a deadline - Adobe tech support took my computer over and could not fix the issue either - we reset everything.  He is saying that my computer is too new for CS5, so I would like to avoid the unintall/reinstall process if possible.

Thanks!

    In the Option bar, make sure "Aligned" is checked.

    When Current is selected and  you let up one thne moue button what you just cloned in is merged into the current if  you continue to clone yoe will be cloning with the merged content.  The offset makes it like a step effect
