Hi
If you still have Photoshop CC 2019 installed you can import them from here
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Presets\Custom Shapes
I just imported the All.csh

No it was uninstalled by adobe tech support, when they noticed, I had older version of it still installed, I think i am goint to revert back to the 2019 versions, My graphics card isn't supported by the 2020 products any way.

I'm wondering this myself. It is crazy to have a Tree and Boats standard in the shapes menu, but my arrows are gone? What the heck? How do I get them back?

Perfect! Thank you. I figured this was a simple fix, I just did not know where to find the fix until now.

I am wondering if Adobe plans to deprecate this feature. Do you know if this is their plan?
Thank you

Why would you think that when Adobe has just added a range of additional shapes?

Hi, the Ps team created panels that lets you organize things faster, with folders, in some cases recent items, and decided to refresh the contents with new shapes. In order to keep performance at a good level , they decided to groups the older items in a legacy folder that you can get back.
They maybe overlooked to share more info about where one can find the legacy items, and I totally agree that they forgot to add the legacy entries in the option bar local menus, where many users go to search for them, by muscle memory.

Thanks PE. I am not opposed to change. Many of Photoshops updates are cool. But, your software is a tool that needs to be dependable.
boss: how long will it take to add arrows and mark-up to these documents?
me: give me 25-30 minutes.
<45 minutes later>
boss: Hey, are you ready to review?
me: All my photoshop arrows and shapes are missing, not in the drop down menu in the panel either, so I need to draw them all with the pen tool, it will take longer than I thought... may be I can search the forum after work or on lunch so I am not wasting more of the companies time.
boss: haven't you been using photoshop for more than a decade?
me: yes, but that doesn't matter when tools go missing.
boss: You are my best employee. If you say the computer is wrong, not you, I believe you. <said no boss anywhere, ever>

How can something so basic as an arrow be hidden in a way that you would never find it on your own? I would like to have this logic thinking. I assume the "software engineers" who designed this feature have no practice using PS.

Davscm, I thought you should know, The forum notification email didn't show the context, it looked like you were replying to me. I replied by email, but now I see you weren't even talking to me. I will leave it up because I believe my thoughts are valid.

Hi - No problem. I was responding to the comment on whether the shapes feature was being deprecated.
I agree that hiding existing functions and features is not best practice š
