How Do I Fix Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on January 6, 2023 @ 7:52 pm

If your Quick Selection Tool is not working in Photoshop, then here’s how to fix it.

First, make sure that the Quick Selection Tool is selected in the toolbar. If it’s not, click on the icon and then try using the tool.

PRO TIP: The Quick Selection Tool in Photoshop can be a great way to quickly select and edit areas of an image. However, if you’re not careful, it can also easily create unwanted selections. Be sure to carefully examine your image before making any changes with the Quick Selection Tool.

On the other hand, if the toolbar containing the Quick Selection Tool is not present in your workspace, go to the top menu and click on Window, then select Tools from the options. This will make your toolbar appear.

Now, if your Quick Selection Tool is missing from the toolbar options, it might have been included in the Extra Tools section.

To fix this, go to Edit > Toolbar. This will open up a window for you to customize the toolbar.

In the Customize Toolbar window, drag the Quick Selection Tool from the Extra Tools section to the Toolbar section. Once finished, click on “Done.” The Quick Selection tool should now be available in your toolbar.

Finally, if the three steps above don’t work, try restarting Photoshop. If none of these solutions work, you may need to reinstall Photoshop.
