Photoshop's Clone Stamp tool not working properly in Windows

Question

The clone stamp tool doesn't always clone where I Alt-click. If I Alt-click on Point A, when I paint it copies from Point B. {Title edited by Moderator}

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out. Which version of Photoshop and Windows are you using? Do you see this issue with any images or particular images? Have you tried any troubleshooting steps so far?

Please try to reset the tools followed by Photoshop preferences.
Steps to reset the Tools and Preferences: To reset all the tools at once, right-click on the icon of whatever tool is currently selected in the Tool Options, select "Reset All Tools," and then click "OK." Using the Reset, All Tools option will reset all the tool selections in the Tools bar to their defaults.
You may try to reset Photoshop preferences back to defaults and check if that helps. Here's the article for the steps: https://adobe.ly/3ceal5t

Also, back up the existing Photoshop preferences if you have any custom brushes, action, and workspace: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
Ranjisha
