Why can't PSP 2021 be more intuitive
I have used PSP for many years but with 2021 Pro I have tried to activate the simplest of tasks, the display of the toolbars and I cannot find out how to do it, do I really have to plough through a 584 page manual to accomplish such a simple task. I have the Welcome (Home) and Edit icons but no Manage icon, where has that gone? I realise that versions change but some of the changes should be intuitive or am I being unfairly critical?

What workspace do you have open?
The Photography and Sea-to-sky workspaces don't have access to the Manage mode. Why the two modes designed specifically for photography and easy of use for users don't have access to the photo manager I have no idea.
If you're in the Essentials workspace (or the complete workspace and Manage mode doesn't show) go to File -> Preferences -> General Program Preferences. Click on the Tabs category, and turn on Manage and Adjust tabs.

Thank you LeviFiction, it is easy when one knows how. I see now that the controls are the same as 2019, I was so daunted seeing no toolbars and an 584 page manual and was envisaging plouhing through that. You have made my day. Thank you.
