default tools

For example, Photoshop includes four basic geometric selection tools — the Rectangular Marquee Tool, the Elliptical Marquee Tool, and the Geometric Marquee Tool Single Row Marquee Tool ، and tool Single Column Marquee Tool . To save space, all four of these tools are combined together in the same place in the toolbar. By default, the rectangular marquee tool is the visible one. that it default tool for group:

hidden tools

Most of the default tools in the toolbar have other tools hidden behind them, nested in the same place. To view other tools, Click and hold , Or Right click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) on the default tool icon. A popup will appear listing other tools hiding behind it. Click the tool's name to select it. I'd choose the Elliptical Marquee Tool, just to pick something different:

The default tool is no longer displayed

Notice that after choosing a different tool (in this case, the Elliptical Marquee Tool), the toolbar no longer shows the default tool in that location. Instead, the new widget you selected is displayed. That's because Photoshop always displays The last tool selected , which means you won't always see the default widget. To select the default tool (the Rectangular Marquee Tool) at this point I'll need to Tap and hold , Or Right click (Win) / Control-click (Mac), on the Elliptical Marquee Tool and then choosing Rectangular Marquee Tool from the fly-out menu:

The same is true for Photoshop's selection of freeform tools (the Lasso Tool, the Polygonal Lasso Tool, and the Magnetic Lasso Tool). The Lasso tool is the default tool for the group, so it's the one we see at the beginning. To select one of the other tools in the group, we need to Tap and hold , Or Right click (Win) / Control-click (Mac), on the Lasso tool and then choosing a different tool from the fly-out menu. I'll choose the Polygonal Lasso tool:

After selecting the new tool, we see that the Polygonal Lasso Tool has replaced the Standard Lasso Tool as the visible tool in that spot. Again, this is because Photoshop always displays the last tool selected. Actually, we have it now Two of The locations in the toolbar where a tool other than the default, main tool is now visible:

We won't go through every spot in the toolbar, but I'll quickly change a few. I will By right-clicking (Win) / Control-click (Mac) Click the Quick Selection tool and choose Magic Wand Tool From the pop-up menu:

ثم Right click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) Click the Crop Tool and select the Perspective Crop Tool hidden behind it:

Finally, I will By right-clicking (Win) / Control-click (Mac) on Eyedropper tool I will choose Photoshop's Ruler Tool From the pop-up menu:

After selecting these other tools, we see that my toolbar has become cluttered with tools other than the default settings. It's not a big deal

How to reset the Photoshop toolbar and tools settings

Step 1: Select a default tool

Fortunately, we now have a way to instantly reset the Photoshop toolbar to its default layout thanks to the improved Reset All Tools command.

But before resetting the toolbar, there is one important step we need to do. For this to work, we first need to locate in the toolbar where still default tool Visible .

In my case (and most likely yours too), the site at the top of the toolbar still displays move tool .

The Move tool is the default tool for its group. Click the Move tool to select it.

You can also select the move tool by clicking on the letter V on the keyboard. Note that the move tool itself is not important here. You can select any tool as long as it is the default tool for its group:

Step 2: Choose Reset All Tools in the options bar

With a default tool selected in the toolbar, if you look in Options bar Along the top of the screen, you will find an option Tool presets on the far left.

The Tool Presets option does not have its own icon. Instead, it displays the icon of any currently selected tool. In my case, it's the move tool:
