I cannot bring up the 'Options' panel at all. It is ticked in the 'Windows' menu but is not visible. Hence I cannot use the 'clear' function on brush tool. Any suggestions please?

Do you have a second monitor that you sometimes use? It may be out of view of the current monitor. Resetting the Essentials workspace should work.

Jane, the issue I think I was remembering was missing menus as well as Option bar. The was thought to be caused by mutliple GPUs — like a laptop with Intel HD### for power saving and a GTX### for heavy lifting.

You may be right, Trevor, but Annie did say the options bar was ticked in the Window menu, so I didn't think her menus were missing.

Hopefully she will clarify for us.

It might be as simple as being unchecked in the Window menu, but I think I remember some issues around this not so long ago. If it is not just a matter of turning it on in the menu, or JJ's advice of resetting thee workspace does not fix it, then this is the sort of issue that resetting Preferences can fix. If you still have the issue after that, let us know your Photoshop version and operating system.

Have you tried changing workspaces or reset your worksoace to see if the tool option bar becomes visible?
