New Tools Found dialog in Photoshop (beta)
Were you ever missing new tools like the Remove tool or the Object Selection tool from your toolbar?
Have you ever customized your toolbar via the Edit Toolbar command or by changing a Keyboard Shortcut? Did you know your customized interface preferences roll over from version to version?
Users with a customized tool bar will not have new tools added automatically. This is because Photoshop is respecting your toolbar customization.
New tools are placed in the "Extra Tools" section of the edit toolbar dialogue by default. While some users applaud this action, others are left confused… Wondering why they don't have the new tools.
Beginning August 18, 2023 the following solution for missing new tools will be enabled in Photoshop (Beta).
On first launch after upgrade install:
If you have a custom toolbar and "new" tools are in the Extra Tools, then you'll see the following dialog.
You must make a choice:
- The new tools will be grouped together in a new slot in the toolbar
- The toolbar will be reset to defaults with the new tools
- The tools stay in Extra Tools (do nothing). You'll need to go to Edit > Toolbar and move them out of the Extra Tools manually.
If you were presented with this dialogue, please let us know if it was helpful.
Thank you!
