Custom shape tool missing from Photoshop CC tool bar

Hi
I am a subscriber to Photoshop and Lightroom CC and have just noticed (I need to draw a circle) that there is no custom shape tool in the left hand side tool bar; I've always just assumed it was there before. I've checked around and it seems as if it should be there but mine just isn't.
Any help gratefully received
Nick Garnett

Hover your mouse over the line tool (just above the Hand tool) and select the Custom Shape tool from the menu which appears.

Crop Tool Missing From Photoshop CS6 Toolbar

I am trying to use the crop tool but it appears to be missing from the toolbar on the left. I have Photoshop CS6 and I simply can't work out how to find the tool. Can someone help me out please?

Is it hidden behind the Slice tool? Any tools with a little triangle in the bottom right corner, have move tools behind them.
You could use the keyboard short cut 'c', but if the Crop tool is hidden, keep pressing Shift c until you see it.

How do you transfer pen tool drawings from Photoshop CS2 to Flash CS3?

I tried to copy and paste it but that didn't work.
I didn't want to redraw the entire picture in in pen again in Flash (so that I could later animate the drawing), so I was wondering how I could transfer the pen tool drawings from Photoshop to Flash?

I have an old laptop with Photoshop elements 5.0 and wanted to move that program to my newer PC but the program was too old so I bought and loaded Photoshop Elements 13 on my PC. To import my photos from the 5.0 I did a full backup on a flash drive and then loaded the pictures to the PC with 13. The pictures are there but none of my collections from 5.0. I read the manual and said I was supposed to be prompted to convert old catalogs. I was never prompted and do not know how to transfer my collections in my catalog from 5.0 to the 13.
What you are doing is not only to install a newer version of PSE, it's also to migrate to a new computer.
The general solution is to do a full organizer backup on an external drive and do an organizer restore to the new computer (or new drive).
Use Backup, Restore to move catalog | Organizer | Elements 6 or later
The problem is that since PSE5 is an old version working with a different database engine, you must first use a conversion utility to create a PSE13 version.

So read that paper carefully, do the backup restore and conversion as described.

Indesign Missing from Bridge CS6 Tools Menu

I'm using CS6 and indesign is missing from my tools menu. I checked startup scripts in preferences and it is checked. I tried unchecking it and restarting it then rechecking it and I also tried resetting my preferences when starting bridge. Running OSX 10.8.5 and Bridge 5.0.0.39
P.S. I feel like this should be an easy fix and an easy thing to search for but I've searched extensively and the only thing I've found is the question asked occasionally. I've not found anything for CS6 and I've not found a solution.

Yes. I ended up solving this on my own but I did want to revisit it for anyone else who finds this message. I can't believe it had been that long since I'd generated a conatct sheet like this but, for what it's worth, this change is not for the better. Previously you were able to use the tools in indesign to control the quality and file size of the final pdf. The new way of doing it is certainly faster but it gives much less control and I ended up with a 50mb contact sheet when presenting around 150 images
Anyway, this is how you do it in later versions of CS http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WS42C3020A-DAD1-4f92-8014-012263F3A51D.
Also, the reason Indesign and After Effects were greyed out when I was trying to use the place command is because I wasn't trying to place a single image I was trying to make a contact sheet. Meaning I had multiple images selected. You can only place one image at a time so the place command is greyed out.

Group Selection tool missing from tools

Hi all,
My group selection is missing from my toolbar on the right and is replaced with position tool. Is there anyway of getting it back?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello charmayn,
Yes I completely agree with Peter we don’t have "Group Selection" tool in ID. Still you are feeling something missing in your tools panel...? Just go to Windows menu > workspace >> Reset Panels. So you can get ID default all tools. I hope it will help you.

The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation tool bar. When I right click and select customize it appears and when I click done on the customization box button, it disappears.

The bookmarks button is missing from the navigation toolbar. It appears when I right click on the navigation and click customize. As soon as I close the customization window it disappears again. I can no longer access the library to back up my bookmarks. Why did you change it from Firefox 3 where you could clock on the bookmarks tab and be able to backup your bookmarks?

Actually the Bookmarks Menu button doesn't appear because you have the Menu Bar visible in your first screenshot. The Bookmarks Menu button should appear to the right of the overflow chevron on the Bookmarks Toolbar if the Menu Bar is hidden.

What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

     I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
      In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
     1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
     2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
     3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
     Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
     Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
     What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

…Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
I could think of many more such reasons why.

…I suspect there are a great many features in existing versions of Photoshop that you don't use…
Duh! Precisely!
Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.
I have no clue as to what the he!! your "Prime Minister" quote is supposed to mean in the context of this discussion, unless you're implying that you feel like a 21-year-old whippersnapper who knows everything. From your avatar picture you look younger than I am. Besides, I know of very few "prime ministers" who are, were or have been particularly knowledgeable about "everything", so that may not even be a requirement for the job.

Button to show images side-by-side missing from Photoshop CS6 toolbar

In Photoshop CS6, a very important button is missing from the toolbar — the one to show two images side-by-side or above-and-below, and multiple images in other arrangements. I need this button — it’s an important part of my. (BTW, the button is still in Illustrator CS6.)

the changes have negatively impacted productivity
I'm not seeing that, and I can't agree with your assessment. In using it all day every day since the public beta was made available, Ps CS6 has clearly improved my ability to go from raw file to finished product more quickly and reliably, and with better results at the end. It's not THAT hard to re-learn where to find the window arrangement functions - give it a week. Positionally the menu is almost in the same place the button used to be.

What gave you this idea? I've never heard of such a person. User forums are just full of other users trying how best to use the software, occasionally trying to help others do the same...

Custom email boxes missing from mail

I had a notes section under mailboxes in mail. Within this notes section I had several named mailboxes that I used to store various emails. They are now missing from my mac when I converted to Maverick. I still have them on my iPhone. Any suggestions on how to retrieve them? Thanks for your help.

It was really a Notes folder, not really a section. I opened notes and did not find it. Here is what it looks like on my iPhone. I am missing all of the folders below "Notes".
Thanks so much for your help.

Crop Tool Missing in Photoshop CS4

I'm pretty new to photoshop, but I seem to missing the crop tool from the toolbar. I've updated to the newest version and have had a couple of people check it out, and no one can figure out what/where/why it's missing. None of the forums I've been on can explain this phenomenon either. Anybody know how I can retrieve the crop tool?

pli1 wrote:
That worked! Now its back on the toolbar. Do you know where I can find other shortcut commands?
In the Help files.
If you hover over a tool, a tooltip comes up with the shortcut.
You can also customise some shortcuts but not the tools..

Geospatial Registration Tool Missing from Acrobat 9 Pro

I'm running Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows and am trying to georegister a PDF, however when I bring up the Analysis toolbar there are only three tools:
Object Data
Measuring Tool
Geospatial Location Tool
The fourth tool (the Geospatial Registration Tool) is missing! I've tried resetting the toolbar and it's not in the Tools > Analysis menu either.
Thanks.

This tool is available in Acrobat 9 Pro Extended.

Tools Missing in Photoshop Elements 4.0

I'm using a Mac with Photoshop Elements 4.0 and several of the tools on my toolbar have disappeared! SO Frustrating . . . I've tried reseting prefrences, nada. I would try increasing screen resolution to see if they just got dragged out, but its already on the biggest resolution possible.
It seems like this should be an easy fix! Please help!

Barbara,
Thanks so much! I got out of quick fix and they were still gone, but then tried going to Window > Tools in standard fix and they all came back. Hallelujah! Thanks again! :)

Web/Country drop-down missing from Google search-tools

After updating to 35.01 and now to 36.0, the Google search results page now behaves differently between Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. The issue is that the "search tools" used to ALWAYS show the web/country choice filter (drop-down), but now only shows 2 options, that is the anytime filter, and the all-results filter. Chrome still shows consistently, all four options (web/country, anytime, all-results, local-location).
After reading various articles on this, and checking likely options in about:config, I found that the ONLY way I could get this back to "normal" was to override the "browser.newtab.url" setting as follows:
browser.newtab.url;https://www.google.com.au
NOTE: I have NO problem or blockage in changing my home page (it is set to www.google.com.au) and do NOT have any malware, or the Trovi/SearchProtect/Conduit add-in.
This can still occasionally get the missed options, but it is now 90% consistent. It would be good to get a permanent and proper fix for this. If anyone has a better more rbust method, please let me know. TD

Hmm, maybe I should have mentioned the more general advice to clear cache and your Google cookies, in case something "stuck" is causing this problem.
'''Cookies''' - While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, google.com.au should already be entered at the top to drill down to just their cookies. You can remove the cookies individually. I suggest also changing the filter at the top to google.com and removing those as well. Then do a "full" reload using Ctrl+Shift+r.
Does it make any difference?
'''Cache''' - To flush the cache, you can use:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

CIN tools missing from LabView 6i

I'm trying to communicate with an external .dll but the necessary header files are absent. I saw an earlier post in this vein, and obtained extcode.h from it, but everything that it calls is also missing. The earlier suggestion about a custom installation of the toolbox has also proved ineffectual, since it doesn't seem to be extant at all.

The CD is marked "Base Package for Windows 2000/NT/Me/9x" so I bet that's the problem. Now to go talk someone into springing for the professional version...
Although now I do have to wonder why in the "examples" folder there is a "dll" folder with sample VI's that use external code. And what's more, they work. Oh, well. Thanks!

Tools missing from toolbar

I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 11.0.0.6 on a Win 7 machine 64 bit and the tools from the tool bar only stay docked for a few hours then disappear. I'm wondering why this is happening and what can I do to fix this problem? I used to have Acrobat 9.4 but uninstalled it before installing the new version.

Hi Ecope,
Please make sure you have Admin priveleges on the machine.
Right click 'Acrobat' and select 'Run as Administrator' and check the performance.
You might also want to repair Acrobat and then check.
