Adjustment Brush Is Missing from my PS Beta. Why?

I'm using the very latest updated version of Photoshop Beta under Windows 11 Pro. I decided to see what the new Adjustment Brush is all about, but it is nowhere to be found. I have reset the Brush tool several times, but there is no listing for an Adjustment Brush. What am I missing? Is this tool no longer in Beta? That's not what Nace, Unmesh, Smith, Ramirez have said.

I did just notice it has been added to my regular Photoshop (and that's fine), but why isn't it in Beta?

That's strange Jeff, because I was just told 5 minutes ago by Adobe Customer Service, that the Adjustment Brush is no longer available in Beta v25.11.0.2665 as it has been moved to the regular Photoshop. Perhaps your v25.11 needs an update?

If in Photoshop you go to Help>Photoshop Help and starting typing in Adjustment Brush do you see it listed and what happens when you click on Adjustment Brush Tool?

Presuming you meant *Photoshop Beta* and not Photoshop, I tried what you
suggested and after typing *Adjustment Brush* twice it now appears in my
toolbar as a separate entry (like your screenshot indicated). And, more
importantly, it works!!!

So, thank you for being one stubborn dude Jeff Arola. Adobe should hire
you to run their Customer Care department, because supposedly even the
management available when I called them this morning was not aware of this
trick.

All the best to you Jeff.

If I am remembering correctly, at some point, and after a particular beta update, the next time I opened Photoshop it asked if I wanted to enable the new Adjustment Tool? I regret saying yes because it was added to my custom Tool Bar complete with the B shortcut, and it took me a while to work out why the brush tool was creating Adjustment Layers (when I hit the B key, I expect to always get the plain vanilla brush — what's worse is that I still haven't round to removing the shortcut or tool yet. I think I'll delete the tool because I don't find it the least bit useful)

The other thing worth checking in these cases is Preferences > Technology Previews tab, albeit not relevant in this case.

It's in the Windows version 25.11 on this end.

Can you post a screenshot of what your seeing?

As I have already pointed out to you Jeff, you're using a Mac and I'm
running under Windows. I appreciate you trying to help, but this is a waste
of time.

You have the Photoshop beta version 25.11?

Go to Edit>Toolbar, click Restore Defaults then click Done.

Yes, I have v25.11.0.2665 Beta, and I have already tried restoring defaults in the toolbar. The adjustment brush simply isn't there.

It seems the Adjustment Brush Tool has been moved to it's own spot on the Toolbar.

Hmm, you are using a Mac and as stated in my post, I'm using Windows. There is no Adjustment Brush in my Toolbar and yours looks as if it has been customized. Regardless, at least you have it and I don't.

fully you've solved your issue by now.
I am using W11 and indeed the Adjustment Tool Brush having it's own place is available.
