Where has the speech bubble gone in Adobe Photoshop Version: 21.0.2

I just selected the custom shape tool. The dropdown custom shape picker give me folder options for 'Leaf Trees', 'Wild Animals', 'Boats' and 'Flowers' only. I don't use any of these but used the speech bubble all the time. Now that I have upgraded to 21.0.2 it's gone. Is there a way to get it back?

Adobe added the Shapes Palette in PS 2020 moved Shape management from the preset manager to the shapes palette.  Shapes Palette supports groups of custom shapes and the ones you are looking for are in the legacy groups  you may need to include form the Shapes Palette fly-out menu

Hi Alec,

 

Speech bubbles are gone from the legacy list. Whereto?

 

Thanks,

 

Louis

I still cannot understand why the legacy presets are not found in the option bar, or in the right-click panels's local menus.

Hi @edward5C57 

If you can't find the Shapes panel in the Window menu, then tell us what version of Photoshop you have. The Shapes panel is new, and the speech bubble shapes that the OP asked about were not considered "Legacy" in older versions.

 

If you have the current version, please show a screen shot of what you are seeing so we can better assist.

Thank you! But it kind of boggles my mind why Adobe would bury one of the most used shapes deep inside a menu. This is where Adobe's competition gets things right, and Adobe always seems to make the simple things harder. 😞

Tack så väldigt mycket. Nu hittade jag de gamla formerna! .Det är ju för min del ytterst sällan man behöver använda formen av en chimpans eller koala. 😉

and exactly how does one find the way to this magical sounding place called the "Shapes Palette?"
