New to Photoshop and needs help stopping annoying pop-ups

[gracer3200511]

Everytime I try to do anything on photoshop 2018 - these annoying little pop ups appear and get in the way of me seeing my full photo or document and then when I DO click the rectangle tool even if that's not the tool I needed or have been trying to use another blue pop up saying a new layer has been created shows up.

How do I get these to stop appearing because I am about to lose my mind.

Hi gracer3200511

Sorry that you're getting the tool-tip pop ups in Photoshop. Please refer the steps below to disable them in app preferences:

• Go to Photoshop/Edit > Preferences > Tools to open Tools tab in the preferences dialog. You can also press Ctrl/Cmd + K than to click on Tools on the right side.
• Click on the square on the left side of Show Tooltips to disappear checkmark (uncheck this option).
• Click on the square on the left side of Use Rich Tooltips to disappear checkmark (uncheck this option).
• Click OK to confirm and exit Preferences dialog.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash

You answered a question from five years ago. Are you also using PS 2018? If not, give us your version and your OS.

• How is it "not working"?
• What happened when you restarted Photoshop? 
• Please describe your issue and show a screenshot of Preferences > Tools.

Today I got an annoying popup about changing perspective when I opened Photoshop.  I pressed the "not now button" or whatever it said, and it would go away.  I have had tool tips off for ages.  I was forced to click through this to use Photoshop.  Is Adobe trying to send all of the experienced users to "I hate Adobe"???
