I installed the latest version 19 of Photoshop 2018 CC. I find that some of the new features advertised are not available or updated. The brushes panel for instance has not been updated. The share an image capability is not as advertised. There are more things missing. Anyone seeing else seeing similar issues? I am running on Win 7 Pro.

    Sharing leverages the system sharing functionality. On Windows this means that you have to run Windows 10 (spring creators edition) in order for that functionality to be available.

    What do you mean by "problem getting the tools to work?" Are tools not appearing on the Toolbar or are they available on the Toolbar but don't doing anything and if so, which ones specifically and in what Workspace?

    There really isn't enough information in your post to understand what's happening at your end.

    They show up but none of them are working except move and rectangular marque.  I open picture in photoshop then make a copy of the background layer in the right side panel so that I'm not working directly on the original.  does that help any

    It crossed my mind after I posted my question that the OS might have been the reason the Share an Image feature was missing. Also, since posting I've also confirmed that the newer Photoshop CC 2018 features do seem to be working. I had to make some changes in my Preferences and reset some defaults to make that happen.

    Thanks for your information!

    I still agree with Jasper's answer but it is interesting to note that Lightroom CC Classi does invoke Outlook (my primary mail program) on my Win 7 Pro system from Lightroom's File > Email Photo... command. It opens a fresh email with the selected photos attached. Why the new version of Photoshop can't do the same thing is a bit strange.

    Hello everybody.

    I'm missing the new pen tool but get the advertisement for it within Photoshop CC 2018. We have got two Adobe CC licenses at work and the other PS contains the new pen tool after the update?

    Another problem is, that the shortcut [ALT} + [Backspace] to fill with background color only happens on every third to fifth try. You can hold down the [ALT] key and tapping backspace till it works, but it's annoying.

    Do you noticed similiar problems or get a solution? Thank you in advance.

    CC2018 runs on a Win7 64 system with Intel Xeon 3.7GHz and 32 GB RAM
