Looking for smudge tool in 2025...and is there a way to add more tools to the left hand tool bar?

Correct answer Glenn 8675309

No you cannot add more tools on the left.  You can only adjust the tools like what you want in PhotoShop.

The Advanced Mode should be sticky.  If you were in that mode when you closed the program, it should reopen that way.

Thank you. Is there a way to always open the program in "advanced"?
