Updated to 2021, but missing one of the features - Content Aware Tracing Tool.

 

Maybe they thought Australians wouldn't like it and we don't get it down here?

 

Anyone else missing this feature?

    Correct answer Jeff Arola

    Did you restart photoshop?

     

     

    You could also try going to Edit>Toolbar and then click Restore Defaults.

    I have the same problem! My Photoshop is the newest and it only has 2 options in Technology Previews and doesn't have anything about the trace tool

    What operating system are you using?

     

    If in photoshop you go to Help>System Info, what Adobe Photoshop Version does the top line say?


    I'm using Windows 11. And the Photoshop it says 21.2.4 Release

      Edit>Toolbar > Restore Defaults did the trick for me. Thanks Jeff!

      First you have to go to the Photoshop>Preferences and under Technology Previews check Enable Content Aware Tracing Tool, restart photoshop and it should be listed with the other Pen Tool options.

        I have done that, closed Photoshop, and reopened and it still does not appear. In addition, I am also missing the preset syncing feature under General. I am on Ver 22 on a PC.
