Clone Stamp Crosshair

Report · Jul 10, 2025

Hello Adobe team,

I'm requesting a desperately needed feature: the ability to COMPLETELY DISABLE the crosshair on the Clone Stamp tool.

I've been working with Photoshop for over 25 years, and every single day I'm forced to deal with this highly distracting, irritating alignment cursor that severely disrupts my professional workflow.

I understand the crosshair is useful for alignment — but it shouldn't be mandatory all the time. Giving users the choice to customize or entirely hide it would be an easy implementation that would solve a long-standing pain for many professionals.

Please consider this seriously. It's genuinely frustrating that after so many Photoshop versions, there is still no option to remove or customize this ridiculously intrusive crosshair.

Thank you!

Are referring to the crosshair that appears when actually using the Clone Stamp Tool to clone or when your setting the initial clone stamp source by Option clicking?

You can temporarily hide the crosshair when using the clone stamp tool by pressing Cmd H to Hide Extras
