I recent began using Photoshop 2022.  Under sustom shapes, I lonly get animals, flowers, etc.  I see lots of references to this issue in here, and all say to go into the shapes menu, click the upper right and select legacy shapes.  I don't have that option (see picture below)  Is it because I now have the student version?  Are they not available in this version?

Your screenshot shows you are in the options bar. Go to the Window menu where the panels are, open the Shapes panel, and use the Shapes panel menu to select the Legacy Shapes and More. They will now appear in the options bar as well.

 

Management is in the (newish) Shapes panel, and this panel is also where you can delete the duplicates you have made.

Hi, if you find that the Legacy menu entry belongs there, as it is the case for the Brush tool's Legacy Brush

She doesn't want legacy brushes. She wants the shapes in the preset menu. There's nothing in the latest 2023 version of Photoshop.
