CS2 Clone Stamp Overlay/Preview???

Good morning,

I am a new user of CS2, I have previously used the old photoshop 7 (cs1.1) and at one point had access to CS4.

Is it true that there is no overlay option for the clone stamp tool in CS2?  I cannot see the preview in the spot, which makes it very difficult to line up areas I am cloning.  I don't recall ever being without the overlay even in the old 7 version, but I could be mistaken as that was a long time ago..... prehaps this is only available on more recent versions.  CS4 spoiled me and I'm not sure I can handle this!  

So.....I suppose my question is this:  can someone either instruct me on how to make the overlay work, or confirm that it is not an option for CS2?

Thank you very much,

    No Clone Stamp Overlay in photoshop cs2.

    It's actually called Clone Source Overlay

    Adobe added the Clone Stamp Overlay starting with photoshop cs3.

    You could always subscribe to the newest photoshop cc 2017 version for about $10 a month, which has the Clone Source Overlay

    Well, removing that trash can out of the shot is a bit harder without it!  Thank you for the quick response. 

    Yes, I subscribed for a year to both lightroom and ps to see if I like lightroom.  Which I did, so I ordered a version to own.  I'd really rather not pay for something month to month.  THANKS!
