      It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help > System Info... and copy/paste the text in a reply.


      Hey Jeffery

      Thanks for your kind interest and prompt reply, but it appears that i was able to solve the problem and finally got the Select Subject option in  my Photoshop CC 2018. The fix was relatively simple for me, i just uninstalled the application and this time at the time of uninstall through creative cloud, i removed all the app preferences unlike the previous attempt wherein i had kept my app preferences, after the uninstall, when i reinstalled the application, it worked totally fine with the missing Select Subject option now visible from both the selection tools and the select dropdown menu.

      I hope this thread and this solution will help any other people facing a similar issue.

      Many thanks to c.pfaffenbichler​ too for his efforts to help me solve the issue!

      You guys are great!!

      Are you sure that’s 19.1.0?

      I am afraid, i do not have photoshop installed on any of my other systems because mostly, i only use my laptop for my editing work & arranging my pictures with lightroom


      What have you done for generic trouble-shooting so far?

      Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

      So Select > Subject is absent?

      Could you please post a screenshot of the expanded menu?
