Please help, I need to be able to use the contiguous setting but I cannot find it on my new version of photoshop. is there a short cut????

Correct answer davescm

You are using the narrow options bar which replaces some of the words on the options bar with icons. Contiguous is the middle icon of the three icons to the right of "tolerance".

 

You can go back to a normal options bar by unchecking "Enable narrow options bar" in Preferences >Workspace, clicking OK, and then closing and restarting Photoshop.

      It should still be there, where Rob pointed it out. If not, try resetting your preferences.

        Do you mean the Magic Wand Tool Contiguous tick box?

        To show it, first make sure to select the Magic Wand Tool. After that check Contiguous in the Options bar (see the screenshot below).

        If you don't see the Options bar any more, go to Window > Options: 

        I hope this helps!

          No, it used to be where you have suggested but it's now no where to be seen!! Very frustrating. 😞
