DarylGS Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 When using the clone tool, you only get a preview for a few seconds if you stop moving the brush. Can we PLEASE get a constant preview rather than have it quickly disappear. This is so annoying when you are trying to line something up and stop to determine if the alignment is correct. Also, I've encountered occasions where the tool turns to an arrow cursor and stays that way until I click with the mouse (which causes me to make a clone edit wherever the cursor may be positioned).

Pšenda Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I think this is a deliberate and very useful feature - it is often necessary to see the area, that will be redrawn by cloning. If you want to preview for a longer time, press Shift.

DarylGS Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 The usefulness of the feature can't be questioned...it was the brevity of the preview that was annoying. However, I was unaware of the "Shift" key as a way of keeping the preview alive. Thank you very much! DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out only by chance - it's not even mentioned in the Status bar, and unfortunately not in the Help. It would be good to add - thank you @MEB Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.
