Content-Aware Tracing Tool not showing up, despite enabling and restarting.

I've followed the steps outlined in the help files (Enable Content-Aware Tracing Tool in prefs, restarting Photoshop) three or four times, but the new tool just won't show up for me. 

    Correct answer JJMack

    Here's my GPU info, and the screenshots in my original post show that I've enabled the tool. I've restarted PS multiple times with no results. I'm using the version 10.15.7 of MacOS Catalina.

     


    Try  unchecking use native operating system GPU acceleration and restart Photoshop also Edit Toolbar and restore defaults.

    This doesn't work for me either... I'm wondering if it's because I'm on an M1 MacBook Pro?

    Without any system information (GPU and OS),  confirmation that you have both enabled the tool in Preferences and added it to your toolbar, we are limited in how how we can help you.

        You don't necessarily have to reset your toolbar for you to get it.
        Edit - Toolbar... and see Extra Tools.
        Then you can just drag in where you want it for those that have a customised toolbar like myself.
