I want to enhance a photo which is in my Elements 20 editor. Using the Clone Stamp I place the cursor on the area I want to capture, then I click Alt. But when I move the cursor to its intended position on my screen the entire photo sticks to my cursor. No matter what I do, the photo cannot be shaken loose from my cursor. What have I done this time? Thank you very much.

Hello, you are previewing the entire image: in the "regular" Photoshop, there is a clone source panel, where you can check the "Clipped" option that would preview the cloning only on the brush size; not sure about elements, hence me moving this thread to the relevant forum.

Gene, you are sampling (using Alt-click) an area much larger than you want. To control this, reduce the "size" option in the Clone tool options bar at the bottom of your screen before sampling (Alt-clicking).
