Hi All,
I'm new to the site, and new to PS. I've been watching tutorials, all the way up to version 5, and they all show a horizontal menu above the vertical tools menu that shows options for the selected tool.
I can't seem to figure out how to get that menu to show up; it wasn't there when I installed the program. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks...Jeff |

Welcome to the forum. I think you are referring to the context sensitive menu bar. It's been donkeys years since I have used 5, but I presume Window>Workspace will reset it back to the default values.
Failing that a reset of your preferences file. Hold Alt+Shift+Ctrl whilst opening PS it should give you the choice to dump your preferences file.

thehermit,
Thanks for the reply, and the welcome to the forum. I looked under the windows pull-down menu and found nothing related to workspace. I tried the Alt+Shift+Ctrl method that you mentioned, but nothing came up about the preference file, so I am at a loss. I'll keep looking, and I appreciate your help...
Thanks, Jeff |

Gone hunting for you.
How to reset pref file 5.5 or earlier Its near the middle of page.
I include a ridiculous list of all the shortcuts/hotkeys for 5.5 and that makes no mention either, but I thought you may find some use in it anyway. 5.5 Hotkeys
got a screenshot of that bar you're on about?

thehermit,
Sorry for the delay in responding, but thanks for the info. From what I have gathered at this point, the menu that I see in earlier version of PS is not available in in 5.5. I haven't been able to find a picture of the menu, I've seen it some tutorials, but can't capture it.
Thanks again...Jeff |
