No, and I don't imagine that will happen. Somehow, when Apple makes Photos more customizable it seems to add as much confusion as convenience, so it's a tradeoff-- and I'm betting that shifting around Markup tools is a bridge too far. What is it that's not working for you?


In any case, you can let Apple know what you would like to see, here:

Feedback - Photos - Apple

They listen there, but they can't respond to you.

Thank you very much. That’s kinda what I was thinking, but thought it couldn’t hurt to ask. Thank you as well for the link to provide feedback to Apple. I just love that “quill” tool, but it’s wayyyy over to the right. 🤭
Nevertheless, I will not be deterred.

I'm happy to offer my thoughts and an outlet for yours! Ever onward!
