Image Texture / Texture Paint Issue

Support Materials and Textures
1

Hello
Could someone enlighten me as to why, in cycles (Blender 2.76b) I seem to only have the texture paint brush option in the dropdown box and not texture image option as per the attached screen capture. It’s the same whether in edit or object mode.

Thanks in advance

Because that’s not the place to add material textures with cycles

Either use the node editor and add an Image Texture node or in the material panel press the dot button to the right on the color input
