Question

How do you stop the tool bar from opening every time click on anything in Photo Shop elements.

I find the fact that every time I click on anything in Photoshop Elements very annoying.

I want it to open only when I click on Tools below the workspace, I don't want to have to keep closing it every time I do anything.  When I want to open the tools, I'll click on 

Tools.

I've tried to find an answer online, but I can only find an answer about how you stop it from opening with PDF files.

    With the Tool Options open go to the right hand side, click the 3 little dots and uncheck Auto Show Tool Options.

    Does that make any difference?

    Yes that was it, I can't believe I didn't find that my self.  But I tried many web searches and didn't come up with it.

    Thanks

    Can you describe in more detail exactly what you do, and what happens when you do it?

    Screenshots or a video might be helpful.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
