Question
Give Descriptions of the Tools and Pic/Symbols of tools

1.Rectagular Marquee Tools

Example Symbol

Use this tool to make selections on your image, in a rectangular shape. This changes the
area of your image that is affected by other tools or actions to be within the defined shape.
Holding the [Shift] key while dragging your selection, restricts the shape to a perfect square.
Holding the [Alt] key while dragging sets the center of the rectangle to where your cursor
started.

2)Elliptical Marquee Tool

Example Symbols

Use this tool to, well, move things. Usually you use it to move a Layer around after it has been placed. Hold the
[Shift] key to limit the movements to vertical/horizontal.

3.Lasso Tools
Example Symbols

The Lasso Tool is another invaluable tool for making selections. For
those with an unsteady hand or a hangover the Magnetic Lasso Tool will
also save serious time in cutting out selections.
Basics:
The Lasso tool is used for selections where there is no pre-defined shape.
Unlike the Marquee Tool where you can select areas using circles and
rectangles, the Lasso tool gives you more freedom in the shapes you select.
To select the Lasso Tool click L. By default this will select the standard Lasso
tool. To cycle through the Tools press Shift + L.

4.Polygonal Lasso Tools

Example Symbols

Ok, this should be the Lasso Tool, but I use the Polygon Lasso a lot more often. Use this to draw selections in
whatever shape you would like. To close the selection, either click on the beginning point (youll see the cursor
change when youre on it), or just double-click. When holding the [Ctrl] key, youll see the cursor change, and the
next time you click, it will close your selection.

5.Magnetic Lasso Tool

Example Symbols

You can cycle through the three lasso tools from your keyboard. Just hold down your Shift key
and press the letterL repeatedly to switch between them (note that you may not need to include
the Shift key depending on how you have things set up in Photoshop's Preferences).

6.Magic Wand Tool

Example Symbols

Use this to select a color range. It will select the block of color, or transparency, based on wherever you click. In
the Options Bar at the top, you can change the Tolerance to make your selections more/less precise.

7.Crop Tools
Example Symbols

The Crop Tool works similarly to the Rectangular Marquee tool (see above if you have no short-term memory).
The difference is when you press the [Enter/Return] key, it crops your image to the size of the box. Any
information that was on the outside of the box is now gone. Not permanently, you can still undo.

8.Healing Brush Tools

Example Symbols

This is a really useful tool. Mildly advanced. You can use this tool to repair scratches and specs and stuff like that
on images. It works like the Brush tool (see below). You choose your cursor size, then holding the [Alt] key, you
select a nice/clean area of your image. Let go of the [Alt] key and paint over the bad area. It basically copies the
info from the first area to the second, in the form of the Brush tool. Only, at the end, it averages the information,
so it blends.

9.Spot Healing Brush Tools

Example Symbols

The spot healing brush is the default healing tool in Photoshop and can be used to clone areas from an image
and blend the pixels from the sampled area seamlessly with the target area. The basic principle is that the texture
from the sample area is blended with the color and luminosity surrounding wherever you paint. The main
difference between this and the standard healing brush is that the spot healing brush requires no source point.
You simply click on the blemishes you want to get rid of (or drag with the tool to paint over the larger areas you
wish to repair) and the spot healing brush works out the rest for you. It is in many ways a lot easier to use than
the standard healing brush and extremely effective at removing most blemishes and marks. To see examples of
the healing brush and the patch tool in action, check out some of the repairing and retouching tutorials shown in
Chapter 8.

10.Patch Tools
Example Symbols

11.Red Eyes Tools

Example Symbols

Perhaps a better method is to use the Desaturation Tool and simply brush away the
color yourself. All the Red Eye Tool does is apply desaturation to the center portion of
the area you click-drag to create. By using the Desaturation Tool, you have far more
control over the amount of desaturation in addition to the actual area of desaturation.

12.Clone Stamp Tools

Example Symbols

This is very similar to the Healing Brush Tool (see above). You use it the exact same way, except this tool
doesnt blend at the end. Its a direct copy of the information from the first selected area to the second. When you
learn to use both of these tools together in perfect harmony, you will be a Photoshop MASTA! Not really, its just
less irritating.

13.Background Eraser Tool

Example Symbols

we look at the Background Eraser Tool and how we can use it to easily remove background
areas of an image. The Background Eraser is especially useful with photos that contain lots of
fine detail along the edges between the foreground and background, like, for example, if you
want to erase the sky in an image without first having to select all of the trees below it.

14.Magic Eraser Tools

Example Symbols

To use the Magic Eraser tool you simply click on the background somewhere and it will vanish. If
you only have one layer open, when you click to remove the background the pixels will be turned
into a transparency, in other words there will be nothing there so you'll just see a chequered
pattern.

15.Color Replacement Tools

Example Symbols

Make Change the Colour what you want to replace

16.Blur Tools
Example Symbols

The Blur tool is cool. It makes things blurry. Click and drag to make things blurry. The more you click and drag,
the blurrier things get.

17.Sharpen Tool
Example Symbols

Almost every digital image needs at least a little bit of sharpening. Learn how to
apply capture sharpening to remove the fuzziness you get from the cameras antialias filter. The best way to get the sharpest images possible is to sharpen twice: first
when you pull images off your camera and later after youve applied all of your edits.

18.Burn Tools
Example Symbols

The Dodge tool and the Burn tool lighten or darken areas of the image. These tools are based on
a traditional darkroom technique for regulating exposure on specific areas of a print.
Photographers hold back light to lighten an area on the print (dodging) or increase the exposure
to darken areas on a print (burning). The more you paint over an area with the Dodge or Burn
tool, the lighter or darker it becomes.

19.Spange Tools
Example Symbol

TIP. Just in case you didn't know, the Sponge

cheaper version.

tool is also available in Photoshop Elements that is way

20.Pen Tools
Example Symbols

Photoshop provides multiple Pen tools. The standard Pen tool draws with the greatest precision;
the Freeform Pen tool draws paths as if you were drawing with pencil on paper, and the magnetic
pen option lets you draw a path that snaps to the edges of defined areas in your image. You can
use the pen tools in conjunction with the shape tools to create complex shapes. When you use
the standard Pen tool, the following options are available in the options bar
