show text not icons

[lisag78682095]

Hello all--

I have recently come back to design after a couple of years away, and found a few things have changed. (!!)  This should be a simple fix, but cannot seem to find the answer anywhere else.  Please help this struggling (re)newbie!

This is what I see....

And this is what I want to see....

You will notice instead of words like "content-aware" and "create texture" I have icons with very slow tool tips.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

I'm confused. In the shot below, I overlaid CS6, CC 2015.5, and CC 2017 over each other with the Healing Brush selected—they all look essentially the same.

Are you on Windows? (I'm not). Does it have to do with scaling the interface in preferences (which not not available on a Mac)?

Uncheck Enable Narrow Options bar

I totally forgot about that!

Hi Lisa

Go to Preferences - Workspace and uncheck "Enable Narrow Options Bar"

Edit - Ronald posted while I was typing 🙂
