Photoshop help -cc 2021

[Candice Penna]

Hello, I had to contact Adobe a few weeks ago and they updated my cc 2021.  When I use the marquee tool and want to resize the ant lines are gone.  Can you help me figure out how to get them back.  Thanks, Candice 

[Damien Symonds]

Can you show me a screenshot?

[Candice Penna]

Yes, thank you 

 

[Damien Symonds]

That's the crop tool.  I thought you said the issue was with the marquee tool?

Maybe you'd better explain the problem a bit further.

[Damien Symonds]

By the way, can you update your profile details?  It still says "Elements".

[Candice Penna]

I use the marqee tool, then switch to the move to make it larger and can't. Sorry, I have too many things I'm doing at once. 

 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, show me a screenshot of that.

Also, make sure your Layers panel, and all the others, are visible in your screenshot.

[Candice Penna]

It's the same as above, I can't make it larger. 

[Damien Symonds]

No, of course you can't, not while you have the Crop Tool selected.

As you said, you need the Move Tool.

[Candice Penna]

Ok, thank you 

[Candice Penna]

I figured it out, show transform controls was unchecked. Thanks

 

[Damien Symonds]

Yep.

While you're there, make sure "Auto Select Layer" remains unchecked.  That awful thing should never be checked.

[Candice Penna]

Thanks, it was. I unchecked it.
