5,557 PointsAnchors are not showing up with shapes?
I'm using the Photoshop CC 2015 version, and when I try to get the anchors of the shapes to pop up so I can manipulate them how I want, nothing happens. I have the direct selection tool selected and I click on the line of the path, but still nothing happens. Any help?

5,557 PointsThat still didn't work. I can see all of the dots for the paths around my shapes, but when I go to click on the little squares within the path of the object, I don't get the lines (what I think are called anchors) to allow me to change the shape/amount of curve/length of that specific line in the path of the shape. I hope that makes sense?
