How do you select the Single Column Marquee Tool?

Hi Charles,

As I said earlier, some workspaces hide tools "they" think you may not use. If you use Essentials and Reset it, you should see all tools.

You can always access the hidden tools from the ellipses. Plus you can customize the toolbar and put tools on and off.

This explains how:

Tools missing from the toolbar Photoshop CC 2015

In the tutorial, it looks like you will make a single pixel selection, expand it to make it wider, fill it with a color, then deselect? It's not wrong, although there are many ways to approach it.

If you are missing other tools in this and other tutorials, now you'll know where to find them!

If you click and hold down the mouse, do you see this:

Hey, Jane, I use it now and then to create an inverted L pattern for grid of a particular dimension.

I only saw the first two, Rectangular and Elliptical. I then went down to the 3 vertical dots and added the Row and Column tools, so now I see exactly what your screen shot shows. Thanks to all for your help!

A single click with the tool wlll create the column the full length of the image. You can click and drag to position it.

When I click on the Marquee tool box on the left edge of the screen, there is supposed to be a drop down box with four choices, one of which is the Single Column Marquee Tool. I do not get the dropdown box with the four choices. What am I doing wrong, or not doing?
