Help. "Remove Background" doesn't appear in the "Quick Actions"Properties window Photoshop 2020 Mac Catalina. This function seems to be missing. I only have Image Size, Crop, Trim and Rotate. Can't see where to add it to the "Quick Actions." Any suggestions greatly received. Thanks

You need to be working on an unlocked layer to see the other options

I'm also having issues with quick actions which don't appear. The layer is unlocked. Was anyone able to resolve this?

why is no one answering this question?  Several people have posted and shown that they are not getting an option in their properties panel for anything like you all are showing.

 

My layer is unlocked, windows has been reset to essentials,I have doubled checked to be sure software uptodate and still the only thing my properties panel shows is is W, H, X and Y.   same as ren5E15 posted TWO YEARS ago.

Hi

Your screenshot is tiny, so it's hard to see, but did you click on > arrow to open up the options

Thanks Ged Traynor, that did the trick. In future I will remember to unlock
the layer or background. Thanks and Happy New Year.
