I cannot see the freehand selection tool

In working with Affinity Photo (MAC, 5.1), I usually used the selection brush. Today I realized I don't have the freehand selection tool. The Help search does not help.

Hi cramosm,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Click on the small arrow on the Rectangular Marquee Tool to open a popup to access it (see screenshot below).

Hi cramosm,

 

Note also that you can customize the tool panel (View menu > "Customize Tools ...") so for example you can drag the Free hand Selection tool onto the panel in addition to or instead of the multi-tool popup that includes it with the marquee select tools. You can also customize the keyboard shortcuts for selecting these tools.
