I need to create shapes and access the Fall and other options. Julianne Kost says to make sure to first access the drop down menu in the Options bar to choose between creating a Shape Layer, Path, or Filled Pixel regions.
When I click on the same icon I don't get what she is showing. I get:
The drop down says "No tool presets designed for current tool." What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
You are showing Properties for the document. You are creating Selections not Shapes.
Your toolbar is not showing the Shape tools. Go Edit > Toolbar > click Restore Defaults.

Then use the Shape tools instead of the Selection tools:

If you want to draw Shapes and not Paths or Pixels, set the option for Shapes in the options bar as per Julieanne's instructions.
When you draw a Shape, you will see a Shape layer in the Layers panel and your History panel will tell you that you have drawn a Shape.
