Adobe photoshop tools

Adobe Photoshop CS6 is the industry-standard image editing software, used worldwide by professional
photographers, amateur photographers, and designers who want to perfect their digital images.

This is the toolbar:

The different types of tools are:

 Selection tools includes:

 Move tool - it allows you to move a selection or entire layer by dragging it with your mouse.
 Marquee tool -You use it to select areas of an image which you can then copy, cut, or crop. It can
also isolate sections of a graphic to apply a filter or effect to an area.
 Lasso tool -With the Lasso Tool selected, you simply click at the spot in the document where you
want to begin the selection, then continue holding your mouse button down and drag to create a
freeform selection outline.
 The Crop tool allows you to select an area of an image and discard everything outside this area.
 Quick selection tool allows you to quickly and easily select one area or section of an image.
 Eyedropper tool enables you to change foreground or background colors by lifting them from the
image.

 Retouching and painting tools include:

 The background eraser tool allows you to remove the background color from an image or layer.
 Gradient tool helps you make a combination of two or more colors where you can see the subtle
transformation from one color to another.

 The view tools are:

foreground and the currently selected color for the background. By default, the foreground color

Toolbar on the left and the panels on the right. It also includes the Menu Bar and the Options Bar
