I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. I AM UNABLE TO SELECT MORE THAN ONE TOOL IN THE TOOL PALLETTE. THE SUBPALLETES DO NOT COME UP WHEN I CLICK ON THE TOOL.

FOR INSTANCE: THE RECTANGLE WILL NOT YIELD TO THE CIRCLE SELECTION. ALL I CAN SELECT IS THE TOP TOOL.

First, you need to turn off the CAPS LOCK key.

Second, the flyout tools only come up when you click and hold on the tool icon.

Of course, the keyboard shortcuts for switching tools should still work, too.

Yes I know the flyout tools come up when you click and hold the tool icon.

The problem is that it doesnt work anymore. Is there a minor setting I might have overlooked?

thank You

No, there is no setting for it — it always works.

The first thing to try (always) is trashing your preferences file.

Other useful things you could let us know: What exact version of the OS and of Photoshop? How much RAM/ How much available disk space?

I have to wonder, when I see questions like the O/P has posted, why these things have NEVER happened to me?

What am I doing wrong? Why do I get to miss all the troubleshooting fun?
