new Tools list layout

hi,

recently Photoshop changed the toolbox list to this:

This is very uncomfortable to me, I need every time to go over all this list to find what I need. 😞

how can I change this back to the older version where the tools where grouped into relevant shorter lists per tool?

and for the developers, please let us choose if we want to use it like this, and not install and replace, this layout is not good for all of us with any kind of Dyslexia

thanx 🙂

Correct answer Barb Binder

The tool display is tied to your workspace in current versions of Photoshop. When you change workspaces (via Window > Workspace), Photoshop hides the tools that are not part of that workflow.

To restore all the tools, you can choose:

Edit > Toolbar > Restore Defaults

-or-

Window > Workspace > Essentials

Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials

(Essentials always shows all the tools)
