The bounding box on my radial gradient has disappeared. Does anyone know how I can retrieve this please?

You have turned off the Tool Overlay by setting it to 'never' (or the update did that). Set it to any of the other options. I'm not entirely sure if the 'H' key works in Lightroom too, but in Lightroom Classic that is another way to circle through the overlays. P.S. do not confuse the tool overlay with the mask overlay.

I had this issue, I guess it reset the setting when an update was made to LR, but here is a simple Fix:

Go to> Tools> Tools Overlay> (Activate) Auto Show

 

😉 This worked for me...

I can't discover how to set the Tool Overlay in ACR. I'm very frustrated that I cannot create a gradient tool with bounding boxes. I can draw the gradient but cannot control it or alter it at all. I would so appreciate any help! Thank you.
