Where has the speech bubble gone in Adobe Photoshop Version: 21.0.2

[gragra]

I just selected the custom shape tool. The dropdown custom shape picker give me folder options for 'Leaf Trees', 'Wild Animals', 'Boats' and 'Flowers' only. I don't use any of these but used the speech bubble all the time. Now that I have upgraded to 21.0.2 it's gone. Is there a way to get it back?

Oh, well - the suggestions here were helpful, but in "Legacy Shapes" speech bubbles are no longer showing. I guess "Legacy" means nobody ever wants to use a speech bubble any more, which really does seem insane. I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe Photoshop 2023), and the new (2023) tutorials I can see online (not on Adobe's site) now all say you have to import a "special collection" of speech bubbles from various free sources. Why on earth does Adobe think abolishing speech bubbles is a good idea?

For anyone making graphic comics, do you have any recommendations for software that *does* support speech bubbles? I'm getting round it by copying the image into Microsoft Powerpoint, which *does* have speech bubbles, but that's messy and not very helpful as I'd rather have it as a layer.

It still shows up on mine, and it's Photoshop 2023 on Mac. "Legacy Shapes and More" > "All Legacy Default Shapes" > "Talk Bubbles"

I am running the latest version of Photoshop.  In the top menu bar look for Window>Shapes.  Then from the three line link in the drop-down select Legacy Shapes and more and follow your nose. 😃
A complete list will appear in the Shapes Dialog and scroll down to Talk Bubbles.  Voila!

Thank you.  You are right.  I finally found it with your help

I still cannot understand why the legacy presets are not found in the option bar, or in the right-click panels's local menus.

Hi Alec,

Speech bubbles are gone from the legacy list. Whereto?

Thanks,

Louis

@louisd79464044 there still showing up for me with Photoshop version 24.7

[Jerry J. Davis]

I'm in version 24.7.0, and they're still there, but buried three levels down.

[louisd79464044]

I do have the Dutch version of 24.7 and also the Beta version, and do not see anything like it

@louisd79464044 

what happens when you scroll down with the scroll bars?

[Jeff Arola]

louisd,

Scroll down to Tekstballonnen

[louisd79464044]

Very nich for you but my screen does not show more than the attached. How come? Adding asks me for my own files, which does not make sense either. Please tell me what I am missing in my version of 24.7, and why?

Thanks,

Louis

In your screenshot you have the Patronen (Patterns) panel selected.

You want the Vormen (Shapes) panel

In the Vormen (Shapes) panel click for the fly-out menu then click Verouderde vormen en meer (Legacy Shapes and More) then click Alle vormaen standaardvormen (All Leagacy Default Shapes ) followed by Tekstballonnen (Talk Bubbles)

[louisd79464044]

 Do not have access!

[louisd79464044]

Not solved at all!

[Jeff Arola]

Your looking at the Patterns panel.

You want the Shapes panel.

Go to Venster>Vormen

(Window>Shapes)
