Clone source, keep following the Brash while holding the left click.

Hi, I've run into a problem with the clone tool.
Every time that I set the source for cloning, it will stay in its place, but as soon as I start to paint it, it will follow the carser, and it will not stop following it, even when I stop left clicking. It's the same in normal cloning and with the absolute source option on.
It was ok before, and suddenly it's broken. Help will be much appreciated.

Hello @jayce_1430,

 

That's in fact how the Clone tool should behave. You select the source by holding the "V" key, than the source will follow your brush' movements. If you want the Source to reset to its initial position everytime you stop left clicking, you should set the Clone tool to Absolute Source. However, when painting, the source will follow the brush' movements regardless of which Clone tool is in use.

 

Best regards,
