Guys, HELP!!!
All of a sudden I cannot Clone.
I've tried to do the three finger/button reset about 25 times and I get the same box every time.
I click OK and the program loads, still cannot clone!!
Frustrated!!

PS CS 6, Teacher/Student edition.

What am I doing wrong?
I watched several YouTube clips, I do as they say and still no cloning.

Help is appreciated

dancers, to reset to original settings, you must depress and hold three keys, Ctr, Alt, & Space bar immediately as you press the Icon to open PS CS6. It is supposed to give you a decision to reset to original settings. If you and you MUST get the timing exactly before it will allow the reset.

As I said, I've tried every way to Sunday at lest a dozen times and I do not get the window that asks to reset!
It gives me another type setting, I say, OK and the window leaves and opens PS, but alas, it does not reset to original settings.

I do not trust myself to uninstall and re-install PS at this point.

Hope this sheds some light on what I was asking for.
Thanks for your reply!

I'd be surprised if there wasn't a drop-down menu option under Edit or some such.

Try to reinstall your PS CS 6. If you have the disc.

Have you recently downloaded Luminar AI? I just read in another thread that someone’s clone tool stopped working after downloading that program. I just thought I’d mention it.

Try deleting the preference file from your computer manually.
local disk c:\users\usersname\appdata\roaming\adobe\adobe photoshop cs6\adobe photoshop cs6 settings
look for a file named: Adobe photoshop x64 (or x32) cs6 prefs
delete file and restart PS. It will rebuild a new file.

If PS is working correctly this will work. I've used this before, if there's other issues you might have to reinstall PS

Hope this helps.
Have a merry Christmas

You have to press the alt key then at the same time right click on the mouse and you should be fine.

billnikon, his is what I have always done to start the clone. It does not work with either of the mouse buttons on the mouse.

Tried it again just now and nothing.

While this references LR6, it’s quite possible this is happening to CS6 also.
