I am using CS 5 and used to have an align button but can no longer find it. I did a full reset but made no difference. As I recall it worked with the brush tool and seemed to have a little sensor about 1/4 inch away from the brush that detected the brightness level at the sensor location then matched that level at the brush. I would like to have that again.

The fickle 'aligned - not aligned' clone tool in Photoshop
I posted this on another forum and heard nothing. Hopefully someone here can help? Constantly, it switches from the chosen not aligned to aligned causing me to backtrack while trying to match a particular clone area. From what I read, I am aware of the cause of this 'switch' (double tapping on...

Maybe this is what you think of.
there is no Align button in Photoshop 2022 and I don't remember it in CS6, but there has always been a "Align under the Layers Menu, when you select several layers. also works on text laters.. when aligning letters I have them as seperate layers.
