Alot of essential are missing from the default “essentials” toolbar. Spent about 10 mins customizing everything and scratching my head as to why things were even changed at all.

Is there a way just to just have everything on the tool bar at in one step? I’ll choose what tools to use..

Do the people setting presets at Adobe even use the software?

    What settings did you choose in the Adobe Creative Cloud app for installing new versions? “Import previous settings and preferences”?

     

    Have you loaded the correct workspace in Photoshop? If it seems to be “out of place”, have you tried resetting the workspace?

    I always recommend creating (and saving) a custom workspace. Have you saved your own workspace in Photoshop?

    I would go to Edit>Toolbar, click Restore Defaults then click Done
