: How do I modify the tool options palette in Photoshop CC to show possible selections of tools? If someone could tell me how to change the tool palette, per the issue below, I'd be grateful.

If someone could tell me how to change the tool palette, per the issue below, I'd be grateful.

I'd like to use the pen tool, and specify the attributes of the pen tool by choosing items in the "tools options palette," but the options I see in Photoshop CC are very different from what I see in this online tutorial (text based): pshero.com/photoshop-tutorials/graphic-design/wrapping-text-around-an-object
I believe that tutorial might be showing an older version of Photoshop (but the authors don't identify the version). Maybe the tool options palette shown there no longer exists. I'm posting a photo of the palette I'd like to see, and the palette I actually have.

Thank you.

Your "want to see" screen shot is from an older version of Photoshop. In order to make room for the Fill and Stroke options, showing the shape options and shape tools in the Control bar was removed. This is actually a step forward though....

Older versions of Photoshop had "tear away" tools. This is no longer present in Photoshop CC2017 either....

It is still present in Illustrator CC2017.

You would click the little arrow on the pop up tools to open them as a separate panel....

Photoshop CC has the ability to reorder and change the tool bar with a different feature now... Edit > Toolbar

You can then drag tools up and down or create separate areas on the Toolbar by altering the left pane of the window.

You can also save and load "sets" of tools for the toolbar. Changes on the left are reflected in the toolbar. Anything in the right pane of the window will not be present in the toolbar.

So, using the new edit Toolbar feature you can configure the primary tool bar to show all the shape tools if you want. You won't be able to change the shape options from the current Dropdown menu to a click menu though.
