I have been selecting images in Bridge and using the tools> Photoshop> photomerge, image processor, etc for decades. Now thery are gone. WHY????? Now there is "auto collections" instead. It is a ridiculous overcomplication to my workflow. Perhaps it is useful to some. But, why take away such a great and simple way to process images with photoshop without having to open them. I would really like some answers.

I can appreciate adding new features, but it is not right to take away ones that works so well, unless it makes your job easier and bettert.

    You probably have installed the Photoshop beta. There's a bug in the instillation that it does this. 

     

    What you need to do is to uninstall the RELEASE version of PS (2023) and then reinstall it. That should solve the problem. Let us know either way, thanks!

      I removed the Photoshop Beta version altogether as I don't use it. I left the latest Photoshop, though and the Photoshop tools still aren't there.

      Please read what I wrote and do what I suggested. Uninstall the release version and then reinstall the release version.
