You're absolutely right — the "Reference Image" option in the Contextual Task Bar was a really useful feature, especially for background replacement workflows. I also noticed that it's no longer there in the recent Photoshop Beta builds, and it's now replaced with "Object Replacement" and "Insert Object" options.

While the new tools are powerful in their way, the flexibility that came with referencing an image directly was unique and super helpful. Hopefully, Adobe brings it back or at least gives us the option to toggle it on. It made certain edits much more intuitive without requiring extra steps.

Would be great if more users could upvote or echo this feedback, maybe it'll help prioritize its return.
