Its Not Letting Me Use Matting On Photoshop

My creative cloud software says my free trial has expired but i have a paid subscription and money was taken out of my account so i know it is paid.

Its not letting me use matting on photoshop.

But quit and relaunch and smoothing is back not only in the brush settings but also the default 10 smoothing in the options bar. If i left out anything please let me know. Funny thing is that my other text layers are just fine. I m trying to change the stroke settings so that brush strokes are smoothed out as im drawing but the option won t show up in the bar no matter what i do.

When i copy the text layers to my other photoshop file the same thing happens. To get to the image size command i ll go up to the edit menu in the menu bar along the top of the screen and choose image size. Pls i need any help view all replies. I am using high sierra version 10 13 and i m trying to download photoshop cc 2018 trial but it s not downloading the download always stops at 8 and i don t know why.

Let s hope they can fix this without breaking the ability to use smoothing on the options bar and that it also is the fix to the problem with the healing brushes. I ll try resizing it the way i would normally resize an image and that s by using photoshop s image size command. Let s say i want to print an 8 x10 version of this photo. I ve looked through the brush and brush presets menu tabs but nothing there either.

The monitor has been color corrected using xrite i1. I ve reset both the tool settings and workspace settings.
