When using Clone Non-Aligned, what happens with each new sampling?

When using Clone Non-Aligned, the tool retains the initial sampling point you selected and consistently uses this exact point for each new cloning operation. This means that regardless of where you apply the clone brush, it will always pull from the same source area you've selected at the beginning. This technique is particularly useful when you want to ensure that the texture, color, or detail from one specific area is replicated consistently throughout the image, creating a uniform effect.

In contrast, other options may imply variations in how the tool operates. For instance, the automatic adjustment of the sampling point suggests a dynamic approach that is not characteristic of Clone Non-Aligned; it strictly adheres to the original selection. Additionally, random selection of different points or the idea of creating a permanent sampling point that requires changes implies a different cloning strategy that does not apply in this context. Thus, the consistent use of the initial sampling point is what defines the functionality of Clone Non-Aligned.
