    herasymcuk  If you are not seeing the tool with 19.1 then try

    a. Resetting the tools

    if that does not work

    b. Reset Preferences . Go to Preferences >General >Reset Preferences on Quit and then close and restart Photoshop

    If you do have the right version, one thing to check is which workspace you're in, because different workspaces can show, hide, or rearrange tools to places you aren't expecting.

    To reset everything to the way it's documented in the help file, first choose Window > Workspace > Essentials (Default). If you still don't see the tool you want, choose Window > Workspace > Reset Essentials.

    If that still doesn't do it, try resetting preferences: Open Preferences > General, click Reset Preferences on Quit, then quit and restart Photoshop.

      It doesn't work for me. I have the tools only available when I go to select and select "select and Mask".

      Select Subject is a command or button, not a tool, so when you click the Select menu, is the Subject command there? It should be in the same group of commands as Color Range and Focus Area.

      If you aren't seeing the Magic Wand or Quick Selection tools, attach a screen shot of the Tools panel to your next reply in case that helps us see what's going on.

      Go Help > About Photoshop ​if you do not show 19.1.0 (I think) then check for updates.
