My Healing Brush Tool seems to have disappeared after going into 3D mode

I was creating a graphic, ended up in 3D mode, and where my healing brush used to be, I now have the 3D Material Eyedropper Tool. 

I'm done with my graphic, now I want my Healing Brush back.  I have closed out the graphic, opened a photo I want to edit, but still don't have the Healing Brush.  I have exited and reopened Photoshop, still no Healing Brush. 

No doubt, I lack some basic understanding about 3D mode, but.... ?? Help?  I'd like my Healing Brush back and I'd also like an explanation so I can solve my own problems in the future.

I am using Photoshop CC 2018 19.1.5.

      Hi

      When you go into 3D mode it gives you the option to change the workspace to 3D - which makes some changes in the toolbar.

      No worries - just change it back to Essentials or Photography. To do that , click on the small downarrow at the top right of the options bar and choose the workspace from the dropdown list

      Thank you for this info! I had a similar problem except I was actually in the Essentials Workspace but the healing brush disappeared (Nov. 2020). However, I switched to the Photography Workspace and ... voila! ... I have the healing brush again. Thanks so much. 🙂
