Question

Problem with "Fixed proportions" or "Fixed size" in selection

In the latest version of Photoshop (26.8.1), when I use the "Rectangular Marquee Tool (M)" to make a selection, under Style, I don't see the "Fixed Proportion" or "Fixed Size" options. I see "Generate Image" or "Import Image," but I can't select them either. There seems to be some kind of bug in that version.
I've reverted to Photoshop version 26.8.0 and it works fine.
Mac Mini M4 with 32 GB of RAM. Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1. Spanish version from Spain.

    I rolled back to version 26.8.0 and then updated again to 26.8.1.
    It seems to be working on my machine now.
    I have two colleagues at the office who have had the exact same problem on their computers. As soon as I can, I'll try the same process to see if it works for them as well.

    @Alex_LaColmena it's working as expected for me with Photoshop version 26.8.1, have you tried manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

    Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset
