Where did the instant alpha button go? (Preveiw Version 8.0 (859))

I cannot find the instant alpha button in my version of Preview. It doesn't appear when I click the markup tool button. It isn't in tools, or view or edit. I can't find it when I try to customize the tool bar....


I cannot find it!! Please help.

MacBook, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Instant alpha button is visible if file type that your are editing is an image file (like jpg or png). If you are trying to edit like a pdf document, then that button is not appearing in markup menu.


PNG file markup menu:
