I can't find my options toolbar

I am wirking with Photoshop Elements 2020 on my MacBook. When I select a tool from the tool panel, the options bar that would allow me to choose my font, color, size, etc. doesn't pop up along the bottom. The same is true if I select a different tool such as the crop tool or shape tool. How do I get the option bar to show?

Hi,

 

- Click the Tool Options button in the Taskbar to open the Tool Options bar (if it isn't already visible).

- Go to the far right of the Tool Options bar and look for the little menu icon (it's a small down arrow and three horizontal lines) between the Tool Help and Minimize icons.

- Click the Auto Show Tool Options option from the pop-up menu if it doesn't have a tick next to it to turn that feature on.

 

Hope that helps!
