P: PS Beta 25.4: Pen tool: Option/Alt shortcut key

I have encountered some difficulties with the pen tool in Photoshop 25.4. Since the latest update, the pen tool does not work as it should. For instance, when I try to remove an anchor point, the convert point tool does not switch on automatically. Also, the eyedropper tool appear when i press ALT button. These problems are affecting my workflow and productivity. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to resolve this error. Thank you for your time and attention.

@PotatoGraphick , you are complaining about a Beta version; if the Pen Tool is essential to you you are free to use the released Photoshop version.

Three months later and this is STILL an issue. What on earth is going on at Adobe HQ that that it takes longer than three months to fix one of the most used tools in their software?!

I found a long winded workaround for now is when you want to create the corner point, is to cycle through a couple of pen tool options using 'shift P' and back to pen again. In my case I use three pen tools including Convert Point Tool which is the key one to get what I want.

Not very workflow friendly but I get what I need until a working beta comes along. I had to sort these through Keyboard Shortcuts.

For anyone looking for the interim workaround, go into your Creative Cloud/Beta Apps/... More Actions and install Version 25.3.0. This version of the pen tool works fine.

 

Sadly, this version is not available to me; 25.4 is now the lowest available. I really miss this functionality!

You will get an annoying 'update notification Pop-up' this can be removed by selecting the clone tool, click without the option key to force the 'error dialog box', drag it over the 'update notification Pop-up' and click ok and it'll go away... for a while! Lets hope Adobe can resolve this soon, there are some great tools in the Beta version.

I Still have this problem on the latest update (v25.6) Windows 10.

It's really frustating. Is the team still aware & working on this?

You guys [Adobe] really need to get your act together. The pen tool is probably one of the most-used tools Photoshop has to offer, and this problem has persisted for months now with no fix yet.
