Crop Tool has disappeared and the option is also greyed out in the drop down menu

[bhagya56]

How did this happen!

The crop option used to be the default when I opened a photo in Photoshop. Now it is no longer on the toolbar and when I go to select it from the drop down menu, it's greyed out!

I'm using MacOS Big Sur 11.4 - Photoshop 23.4.1

Please help!

Press the Slice Tool and select the Crop Tool from the secondaries. 

If it is absent there check Edit > Toolbar.

Thank you. It was hidden behind the slice tool, GOD KNOWS WHY! But it's back and I'm grateful.

What a ridiculous UI decision that was. Good grief!

@Lenny3430109483nd , what are you talking about? 

Please provide a meaningful description with screenshots.

The availability of Image > Crop would depend on the presence of an active Selection.

Go to the edit key click on the toolbar, check on the extra key, and then add it thereby dragging the crop key in
