Adjustment brush icon not visible

Hi, in Lightroom I cannot see the Adjustment brush icon below the histogram panel. Pressing "K" does not work either. Any idea how to solve this problem? I am a newbee, single to no experience with Lr and trying to study with an online course I bought recently. The attached screen shot shows what I am seeing in Lr.

Any help highly appreciated.

Correct answer Ian Lyons

The Adjustment Brush is now contained within the new Masks panel, which was introduced in LrC 11.0. To get access, you should press the circular icon on right side of the four icons in your screenshot.

 

BTW, the 'K' key should open the new Masks panel with the inital Brush mask already created.

Now that I can see your screen capture, clearly @Ian Lyons has provided the correct answer.

 

You might want to view some tutorials on the new masking panel, as there are significant upgrades, and the tutorials you are using (if they are before LrC 11) will not explain the new features. But the adjustment brush itself should work the same, once you select it.

I can't see your screen capture, my web browser won't show it. You should include the screen capture in your reply by clicking on the "Insert photos" icon.

 

Please state clearly if you are talkign about Lightroom or Lightroom Classic, and also state the version NUMBER of your software.
