I use the Photoshop Beta application every day. Every time I open the application, the Tools and Options panels are closed. I have to reactivate them from the Window menu and adjust the settings again. Why do the 'Options' and 'Tools' panels become inactive every time? How can I resolve this?
Try resetting Prefs for the Beta: /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura) /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac) C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings )Win) Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would. https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually
