I have PS CC 2019. I want to insert an arrow onto a photograph. I cannot get it done. I tried resetting the shape tools menu to no avail. Where the hell is an arrow and what do I click to get there?. You need to stop moving things around. It becomes a nightmare. Fortunately I have other photo editing software programs that are much easier to use and have easy to insert symbols. I am going to cancel my Adobe subscription if the continuing changes to each version are too difficult to navigate.

We have AI integration now, but drawing an arrow in Photoshop is still a nightmare. Why nobody in the dev team ever had the idea just to have the basic shapes ready available in the UI without having to search the internet and forum everytime for tutorials is beyond me. I am using Photoshop since 23 years now and still struggle to draw a simple arrow. Its quirky, hidden and hard to do. I gave up and now use Snagit to draw arrows. Just a lot quicker than to try to find presets in Photoshop.

These shapes are not included in my shapes menu after recent updates. It's super frustrating and even following your advice does not find where they may be stored or accessed. They seem to have dissapeared, and been replaced with a ridiculous selection of ''trees'', ''boats'', ''emoticons'', and other probably useless items. I now have to DRAW an arrow when I had a menu of them previously.

UPDATE: ''Restore Default Shapes" SEEMED to do nothing for several tries, but if you go digging, Arrows are there. FOUR folders into ''Legacy Shapes and More''. Find; Legacy Shapes and More>2019 Shapes>All legacy default shapes>Arrows. This is beyond frustrating and pointless as an update to the program features. Hopefully this comment will help someone simply find what they are looking for without being told they are not following directions properly!

Thank you so much for this reply it helped me i had the same issue all you get in custom shape dropdown is useless trees and boats. i followed your advice and i am happy after wasting an hour on this simple thing.

Can your reply be pushed to the top? instead of the ones telling people they are stupid.

Did you try either click and hold or right clicking on the icon where the shape tools are in the tool bar to get the line tool? The gear just shows up if the line tool is selected. This really hasn't changed in PS.

I can't get any shapes tool to show up in the top menu bar. The tools that are there do not highlight when clicked. We need to start with "Boot PS", then step - by - step. Click this, click that, click this, click that. It is just impossible without detailed, detailed instructions.

Please use your eyes look at the screen that have been posted for you. see the Custom Shape tool in the tool bar of the left side of Photoshop. The one I highlighted with a Red rectangle. The look at the Custom Shape Tool Bar across the top under Photoshop Menu bar. You should see a Pull down menu to the right of the gear. That should show a the Custom Shape Preset you have loaded or came loaded in Photoshop. There may be some Arrows and they may be scattered in the selection menu.. There is no standard list of presets. I can not remember what presets Adobe ships loaded into Photoshop. I installed Photoshop some 20 years ago. Adobe's installers migrate your presets when you install a new version of Photoshop. The Arrows are most likely Adobe for I see a file Arrows.csh in Adobe Presets\Custom Shapes folder. They may not be loaded into Photoshop by default I may have loaded them.

Hey, there's a problem with my, let's say, "Custom Shapes Package". It's not in the presets map. I can't get any custom shape sets because of that. How do I get it back?

I cannot get the gear icon to show up so that I can click on it and see the arrowheads menu. I can see the line and shape tool listed but cannot get them to show up in the menu bar either on the left or the top. PS has just become too non-intuitive to use anymore. I am going to some other software. PS has just become horrid.

I ended up going to MS Excel and getting the arrows there and copying them to an old photo software program (not PS), and creating my arrowed image there.
