Clone stamp source crosshair not following the source area

[jd.eduardos]

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.

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.

It will track with your mouse.  Therr arePen support issued in Photoshop 21.2.2

Hello JJMack

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

I'm having the same problem. reinstalled the driver but nothing is changed.

Its an issue in Photoshop 21.2.2 Pen support it will track if you use your mouse.

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.

It should work in 21.2.3 there is a Pen support problem in 21.2.2 where tracking works with mouse but not a pen

I got it fixed (again) by unchecking "use windows ink" at the tablet
preferences (mapping tab).
LMK if it is fixed. and please update it to the latest version of PS.

Yes WinTab works in 21.2.3

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 😕

I had the same issue too. 'Using Windows Ink' solved it! Thanks for sharing, its an issue that has annoyed me for ages now!!

[Expose11]

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

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.
