Hello! I've got the new Adobe Creative Suite for Student and am working with Photoshop CC at the minute but cannot find the Magic Wand Tool anywhere... is it not in this version, or is it hiding somewhere... can't locate it. Please help?

Yeah, I don't see it either. "Look in your tools" with a picture of the quick selection tool, didn't help.

I found it! (Please excuse me not knowing what anything is called, I am a total newbie to PS).  On the left side toolbar, if you right-click and HOLD the mouse pointer on the quick selection tool, it opens a menu with two tools on it, the quick selection tool and the Magic Wand.  If you click the magic wand, it is selected and stays in the toolbar.  I hope this works for you!

Yep that worked!  Hold down the left mouse button while clicking on the Quick Selection Tool and you will see it.  Thank you!

Happy you had help looking for the tool!

In general in the tool box you see the small arrow that indicates that there is another tool inside!
