QUESTIONS
Give Descriptions of tool and Pic / Symbols Of
Tools.
1.Rectangular Marquee Tool
This tool allows the user to select rectangular
shaped areas
within an image. The areas can then be copied
or cut and then pasted into new layers.
The tool also can become a bounding border
for "pouring" color with the Paint Bucket or
Gradient tools. Other marquee tools are
available by clicking and holding the button.

2.Elliptical Marquee Tool

allows us to quickly and easily select objects

or areas in a photo based on simple
rectangular or square shapes, which is what
we'll be looking at here, is another of
Photoshop's basic selection tools. It's nearly
identical to the Rectangular Marquee Tool and
works much the same way.

3.Lasso Tool

This tool is used to select parts of a layer for

editing. There are other
types of lassos available, including a Magnetic
Lasso and Polygonal Lasso.

4.Polygonal Lasso Tool

useful for drawing straight-edged segments of

a selection border.

a.Before:

b.After:

5.Magnetic Lasso Tool

improves upon the regular Lasso by allowing

the selection outline to seek the nearest edge.
Like the Magnetic Pen, this tool sets "fastening
points" that seek high-contrast regions, and
joins the points with border segments. Unlike
the pen, the lasso fastening points disappear
immediately, and thus cannot be moved after
being set.

6.Magic Wand Tool

The Magic Wand is used to select portions of

an image based on
color. Sections of the same color are selected
when the wand it touched on the desired
color and the mouse if left clicked.

b.After:

7.Crop Tool

The Crop tool is an important tool for making

adjustments to the
overall size of an image. Using the Crop tool
affects the size of the whole image, not just
a single layer. This is a powerful tool and must
be used carefully.

8.Healing Brush Tool

quickly removes blemishes and other
imperfections from your photos. You can either
click once on a blemish, or drag to smooth
away imperfections in an area, remove
selected objects from a photo and fixes large
areas of imperfection when you drag over
them. You can remove objects from a uniform
background, such as an object in a field of
grass.

b.After:

9.Spot Healing Brush Tool

essentially a texture replacement tool,

meaning that it tries to create a seamless
repair by replacing damaged or unwanted
texture from one area in an image with good
texture from another area, without changing
the problem area's original color or brightness
values.

Before:

After:

10.

Patch Tool

works like the Healing Brush except you draw

a selection
around the problem area and then drag the
selection to a good area; Photoshop
then blends the two areas together with
remarkably good results. This
tool is great for fixing bags beneath eyes or
getting rid of small objects you
don't want in an image (see page 419). In
CS6, this tool scored a Content-Aware
mode, which improves its ability to zap objects
without repeating pixels from
nearby objects. When it's in this mode, you
can use this tool on an empty layer
by turning on the new Sample All Layers
checkbox

a.Before:

b.After:

11.

Red Eye Tool

does just what its name implies: You use it to

draw a box
around the offending eye (the whole eye, not
just the pupil), and Photoshop
identifies the problem red area and replaces it
with dark-gray pixels. See page
441 for the scoop.

12.

Clone Stamp Tool

The Clone tool is used to copy portions of a

layer from one area to
another. It is similar to the Rubber Stamp tool
found in earlier versions of Photoshop.

Blur Tool

detail in specific areas of an image

Sharpen Tool

sharpens specific areas of an image.

Before:

After:

18.

Burn Tool

works just like the Dodge tool except it

darkens parts of an
image. (Its icon looks like a hand making an
"O" shape.) Be sure to significantly
lower the tool's Exposure setting because its
factory setting is way too strong.

Before:

After:

19.

Sponge Tool

a retouching tool used to alter the saturation of

a portion of an image. It is reminiscent of the
sponges used by watercolor artists to soften
(or even remove) a color that has already
been lain on the canvas.
On current versions of Photoshop, the Sponge
tool is grouped with the Dodge tool and Burn
tool.

b.After:

20.

Pen Tool

lets you draw a line by clicking one spot and

then clicking elsewhere
to add anchor points, in between which
Photoshop places a line called a
path. You can use it to create amazing
illustrations and complex selections.
