Learn about tooltips and how to turn them on or off in Adobe Photoshop.

Tooltips provide helpful information about tools and features. When you hover over a tool, panel option, or icon, a tooltip appears with a short description.

Photoshop provides two types of tooltips.

  • Standard tooltips: Display the tool name and keyboard shortcut.
  • Rich tooltips: Display a description and a short video of the tool in action.

Manage tooltip settings

By default, the tooltips appear in Photoshop. You can control the display of standard tooltips or rich tooltips.

  • To turn off the tooltips, select Edit > Preferences > Tools, then deselect Show Tooltips and Show Rich Tooltips.
  • To turn on the tooltips, select Edit > Preferences > Tools, then select Show Tooltips and Show Rich Tooltips.

Show tool groups on hover in the toolbar

When this option is enabled, hovering over a tool slot that contains multiple tools opens a flyout showing all alternate tools in that group. You can also open the flyout by right-clicking or long-pressing the tool slot.

To select a tool from the flyout, hover over the desired tool and click it. The flyout closes automatically when you select a tool, press Escape, or move the pointer away from the toolbar.

To turn this option on or off, select Edit > Preferences > Tools (Windows) or Photoshop > Settings > Tools (macOS), then select or deselect Show Tool Groups on Hover in the Toolbar.

If Show Rich Tooltips is also enabled, a Rich Tooltip appears for each tool in the flyout after a brief delay.
