Blur tool has disappeared

I was using my blur tool the other day and today it has vanished.  How do I get it back in my tool bar?  I am using CS4.

I don't think you can even take it off the bar?
You sure you don't have the Sharpen or Smudge tool showing as selected? Sorry if this seems really basic. Doesn't mean to be.

  • Typewriter tool has disappeared

    Under the tools menu I have drop down box with 7.0 shows nine choices, one of witch is typewriter too.
    On another computer,using 8.0,  this tool, amongst others, has disappeared.  Now only has three choices of tools.
    Have removed and reinstalled 8.0 to no avail.  Typewriter was there in the past, do no know why it is gone.
    Suggestions?

    It is still there, but I am not on my machine with AA8 and can't tell you where. With each version of Acrobat, then seem to move the tools around to what are more logical locations (at least I assume that is their thought). Each time, users of past versions have to search for the tools they are used to using. The help menu would likely give you an indication of where the tool went.
    For example, they moved the Reduce File Size from the File menu to the Documents menu between AA7 and AA8. The options for Insert Pages and such have been base items in the Document menu for some versions and under Documents>Pages in other versions. Just browse the menus a bit and the tools should show up. You will also likely have an option to show the toolbar that can then be moved to merge in the toolbar at the top of the page.
    If you still can't find it by Monday, I will try to look it up on AA8 at work.

    You need to work a little harder at helping others help you.  It cannot be done by texting one line at a time.
    Take the time to capture your screen to show what you are seeing.  It's very easy to post images here via the little camera icon just above the edit box in the web interface.

  • MY CUSTOM SHAPE TOOL HAS DISAPPEARED

    The tool CUSTOM SHAPE all of a sudden disappeared from the tool bar on the left. (where you can add text, crop, clone, etc.) I uninstalled Photoshop Elements 2.0 and reinstalled it and it's still not there. Can anybody help this grandma before I go into cardiac arrest?

    Mary,
    This might be your problem.
    Refer to this screenshot of my PSE2 desktop:
    http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1ubxepKqYpQJZwRWoXkClf5otuL1Ah1
    The toolbar item indicated by the red arrow activates the 7 shape tools. Whichever of these tools is active, that icon will show on the toolbar. In my example it is the Rectangle Tool. If you click on the Custom Shape Tool icon in the options bar (blue arrow), the Custom Shape Tool icon will then show on the toolbar.
    If the shape tools icon on the toolbar has totally disappeared I have no idea what happened. Try resetting your preferences file (similar to shat VkSharma said). To do this, press and hold Alt-Ctrl-Shift immediately while starting PSE. The timing is critical, you may have to try this several times. A dialog box will pop up with the question "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings file?". Click YES.

  • Can't find old tabs from a crashed session - session manager tool has disappeared!

    I had 3 or 4 browsing sessions that crashed late last year and in January. I went to try and recover them today using the Session Manager tool, but all of the backup sessions in the session folder were gone... There were always a gazillion backups as my Firefox crashes repeatedly, and I usually have at least 100 tabs open at any one time. I know, I know!
    All I thought I had to do was to open up the backup sessions! I'm distraught. Lots of research is gone - including all my wedding planning :(
    I don't know if this is relevant, but my Session Manager add on had disappeared when I went to look for the backup sessions. I reinstalled it and then tried to find them, but they're not there.
    Please help if you can?

    It is not possible to tell if a sessionstore.js file has those tabs.<br />
    If the file is from a date that you had those tabs open and if the file is not corrupted then it is possible that they have your tabs.
    What is the file size of the sessionstore.js files?
    If they are below 1MB then you can try to validate the file via an online JSON validate website.

  • The "BASIC" section of tools has disappeared from my Development Window.  How do I get it  to reappear?

    Suddenly when I open LR and go to the develop section, there is no "BASIC" section and all the adjustments therein are not accessible.  It just goes from the histogram and the crop, etc. tool bar to the "Tone Curve" with no "Basic"...  I am on the Creative Cloud and previously all was fine.... How do I get the Basic section back?
    Thanks,

    Right-click (or the Mac equivalent) on the Tone Curve, or any other Develop module section on the right, and you'll see a list of sections to enable.  I only have Basic, Detail, and Camera Calibration enabled at the moment because I'm testing some new custom camera profiles I've just made:

  • Illustrator CS6 bucket tool has disappeared -- there is no flyout menu on the gradient tool

    Try the Shape Builder tool. Click and hold until the options appear.

  • My Shape tool, which used to be in the left toolbar has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    I have PSE9 and have used PSE to edit screen shots. Some screenshots have required that I place an arrow to point to a specific location. I have used the shape tool for this purpose. For some reason, the shape tool has disappeared and I cannot figure out how to get it back. How can I restore the shape tool to the toolbar?

    Press U on the keyboard to cycle through nested tools,  and you should see it.

  • Blur tool is gone

    I am new here and to CS5 and also am not much of a computer wiz. The blur tool has mysteriously disappeared from my palette and I don't know how to get it back. Help.
    Bob

    There are actually several tools in most positions in the tools palette.
    Click and hold on the Sharpen or Smudge tool, and a fly out menu will be displayed after a second or so.  You should be able to activate the Blur tool then.

    Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

    Good point BDAqua, the Escape key helps get me back to reality in Lion.
    While I've only dabbled around a little in Lion since it's release (I upgraded a 10.6 Clone to Lion on one of my FireWire Drives) now I'm currently downloading Mountain Lion (to upgrade a Clone of that Lion Clone) so that now I can continue to move forward in madness.
    P.S. Trust me, I'm not laughing.

  • My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool

    My batch feature in bridge has disappeared completely after update, I uninstalled everything adobe CC using the cleaner tool.
    I sue the batch feature for my job everyday to batch multiple images with a custom action, I need this feature back ASAP
    Iam on a new 27 IMAC OSX 10.9.4
    Adobe CC 2014 newest version completely up to date.

    The cleaner tool doesn't touch presets, templates or other user data. All it does is flush the installer database to remove blockages. The last time it actualyl deleted any files and folders was with CS3. so whatever you did, you may have hit the wrong button. And while I underrstand your frustration, the download pages states that you are advised to backup your data, regardless...
