In Photoshop (Creative Cloud), I can’t find the Object Finder Tool. I’ve Googled to see how to find this missing tool, and instructions say to go to Edit, then click on Tool Bar, but I don’t see that option in the Edit selections. How can I access the Object Finder Tool?

Hi Suzanne. If you have Photoshop, you need to follow the Photoshop video.
The Photoshop instructions call for the Object Selection Tool. It’s nested with the other auto-selection tools. Hope this helps!
