Object Selection Tool is missing

[şevki ümitö48198405]

Hello Dear all. 

I use Ps v. 20.0.9 most of the time. I came to know that Object Selection Tool is missing. I cannot find it in Edit> Tools among extra tools.  There is no the "three dots" (...) in my tool bar either to click and search.

How can I manage to find it and put in my tools bar? Thank you beforehand for your help.

Thank you for your reply. I will try.  Pls note that the day before yesterday, someone from Adope helped me and put Object Selection Tool into tmy ool bar of Photoshop v 21.1.3.  Then I tried to insert into Photoshop

v 20.0.9 which I use most. I could not manage it even I changed workspace from Essentials (default) to photography.

Hi, The object selection tool is a new tool in Ps 21, Photoshop 2020; while Ps 20 is Photoshop CC 2019 (confusing, isn't it?) and does not have that tool. 

if you are running Ps 2020, you should try resetting your preferences, and make sure that you are on the essentials workspace.

Hello, you can try, but you won't have the tool in 20.0.9... as it came in 21.

I sent screen shot of part of creative Cloud as you see I have two types of Photoshop. I am having problem with the one which is on the right side. I am trying to insert Object Selection tool to the one that I mentioned. For the one at left side I have the tool. I think this clarifies the situation.

You seem to be ignoring the answers above.

The object selection tool was added in v21. It was not available in v20, and remains unavailable in v20.

Hi,

See comments by PECourtejoie  and the link that I have shared. The Object Selection tool came or added in Photoshop version 21 and you are able to see and use this tool in this version but this tool was not present in 20.0.9. Therefore you will not able to use this tool in 20.0.9 version.
