How to find legacy custom shapes in Photoshop

Where are all the basic custom shape tools like the hearts, symbols, chat bubbles, etc. ? Why is there only "trees, wild animals, boats, and flowers"?

If you use the Shapes panel it has the advantage of a search facility

You do need the search tool to be switched on though by clicking on the options (four bars in top right corner).  Like all of the tools panel search tools, it only looks in groups that are open in the main panel area, and I think the legacy shapes and more groups are not available by default.

Hi,

 

You can access the Legacy shapes by going to Shapes through the Window menu, then Shapes, then click on the menu icon at the top right of the Shapes panel & select Legacy shapes and more. This should create a new folder in the Shapes Panel through which you can access all the legacy shapes.

 

 

Hope this helps!

Regards,

Nikunj

Hi 

Open the new Shapes panel from the Window menu and use the panel menu to enable "Legacy shapes and More".
