Crop and Expand tool is missing

I just saw a presentation in the Photoshop Summit 7, where somebody showed the Crop and Expand option in Camera Raw. I do not have that tool and can't find it. I am opening files directly into PS (not from within PS as a layer) by using FILE-OPEN, these are Nikon .NEF raw files and the crop tool does not show any option or check box for crop and expand. See attachment

 

The demo was done in PS 2025 and CR 17.5.1 (2md attachment) - was that option removed?

 

Camera Raw 18, PS 2026 on Win 11

Have you enabled the feature in Preferences?

    That is the Photoshop Preferences. The option is in Camera Raw Preferences. Click the Gear in the upper right of the Camera Raw interface to access.
