QUESTIONS

Give Descriptions of the tools and Pic/Symbols Of Tools

1. Rectangular Marquee Tool

Drawing Rectangular Selections

Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool in its most basic form is easy. You simply click with your mouse at the point

where you want to begin the selection, which will usually be in the top left corner of the object or area you need to

select, then continue holding your mouse button down as you drag towards the bottom right corner of the object

or area. When you release your mouse button, the selection is complete!

Here's a photo of some wooden blocks:

2. Eliptical Marquee Tool

Drawing Oval Selections

To draw an oval selection with the Elliptical Marquee Tool, simply click at the point where you

want to begin the selection, then hold your mouse button down and drag in the direction you

need until you have the object or area surrounded by the selection outline. Release your mouse

button to complete the selection.

3. Lasso Tool

Descriptions : Lasso Tool

This is a freehand selection tool. Click and hold your left mouse button on the image and draw your selection.

4. Polygonal Lasso Tool

Descriptions : Polygonal Lasso Tool

Similar to the lasso tool, except that instead of holding your mouse button down to draw, left-click on various points to create a selection with a series of straight edges.

You can also hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key (Mac OS) to draw freehand sections

5. Magnetic Lasso Tool

Magnetic Lasso Tool

This is a very handy tool for selecting areas which have reasonably well-defined edges. Left-click at the starting point of your selection and simply move the mouse along the edge.

"Fastening points" are automatically made at various points along the edges. Left-click at any time to add a fastening point manually.

6. Magic Wand Tool

Selecting The Magic Wand

If you're using Photoshop CS2 or earlier, you can select the Magic Wand simply by clicking on its

icon in the Tools palette. In Photoshop CS3, Adobe introduced the Quick Selection Tool and

nested it in with the Magic Wand, so if you're using CS3 or later (I'm using Photoshop CS5 here),

you'll need to click on the Quick Selection Tool in the Tools panel and keep your mouse button

held down for a second or two until a fly-out menu appears. Select the Magic Wand from the

menu:

7. Crop Tool

Selecting The Crop Tool

As with previous versions of Photoshop, to crop an image, we start by selecting the Crop Tool,

either by clicking on its icon in the Tools panel along the left of the screen or by pressing the

letter C on the keyboard. I'll select it from the Tools panel:

8. Healing Brush Tool

Healing Brush ToolThe healing brush tool is essentially a content-aware version of the clone stamp tool. If you control click on the a given area of the image to define the source and the click and drag anywhere else on the map, the tool will copy all the pixels at the defined location and paste them under your brush. The only difference between the clone stamp tool and the healing brush tool is that the latter blends the pixels into the new area instead of flatly pasting

them over. It’s a step up from the clone stamp tool, but I’ve still found the spot healing tool to be more useful 90% of the time.

9. Spot Healing Brush Tool

Spot Healing ToolThis tool is super easy to use. Once you’ve selected the tool, click and drag to paint over the area you want to heal, in this case the dust spots. Give yourself a little margin around the area for best results.

10. Patch Tool

Patch ToolThe patch tool works a lot like the spot healing tool, except you can define the area that Photoshop will draw on to replace the selected pixels. After selecting the tool, click and drag to draw around the area you want to replace.

11. Red Eye Tool

Redeye ToolThis tool is specifically used for removing redeye in portraits.

12. Clone Stamp Tool

Photoshop Clone Stamp Tool

Photoshop's clone stamp tool allows you to duplicate part of an image.

The process involves setting a sampling point in the image which will be used as a reference to create a new cloned area.

Select the Clone Stamp tool  , then check the settings in the options bar. Make sure you have a brush size appropriate for the job. The following settings are fairly typical:

13. Background Eraser Tool

Selecting The Background Eraser

By default, the Background Eraser is hiding behind Photoshop's regular Eraser Tool in the Tools

palette. To select it, click and hold your mouse button down on the Eraser Tool until a small fly-

out menu appears, then select theBackground Eraser Tool from the menu:

14. Magic Eraser Tool

Magic Eraser Tool

The Magic Eraser   Tool automatically clears continuously colored areas:

In the Toolbox, select the Magic Eraser   Tool. Click on an area to erase. "Contiguous" checkbox on the Options bar (checked by default) limits the tool's range

to adjacent areas only, while deselicting it allows to erase similar pixels all over image. In the Options bar, you can also set "Tolerance" (the tool's sesitivity) and stroke

"Opacity". "Anti-alliased" option smooths edges of erased areas.

15. Color Replacement Tool

Selecting The Color Replacement Tool

The Color Replacement Tool was first introduced in Photoshop CS, and if you're using

Photoshop CS or CS2, you'll find the Color Replacement Tool nested under the Healing Brush in

the Tools palette. To access it, click and hold your mouse button down on the Healing Brush until

a fly-out menu appears, then select the Color Replacement Tool from the menu.

In Photoshop CS3, Adobe changed things around a bit and moved the Color Replacement Tool

in with the regular Brush Tool, so if you're using Photoshop CS3 or CS4 (which is what I'm using

here), click and hold your mouse button down on the Brush Tool, then select the Color

Replacement Tool from the fly-out menu:

16. Blur Tool

Blur Tool

The Blur   Tool unfocuses image areas:

In the Toolbox, select the Blur  Tool. Choose brush size and style. Set the tool's strength. Drag on the image. In the Options bar, you can also specify the effect's "Mode".

17. Sharpen Tool

Sharpen - increases contrast in the areas where you paint.

18. Burn Tool

Burn - Darkens pixels where you paint.

19. Sponge Tool

Sponge - Saturates or desaturates the pixels where you paint.

20. Pen Tool

Descriptions :

 When it comes to making selections in Photoshop, there's really two types of people - those who

know how to use the Pen Tool, and those who struggle. Most people put off learning how to use

the Pen Tool for as long as possible, while others never get around to learning it, believing it's

just too confusing, too complicated, and just plain unnatural. Ultimately, their work in Photoshop

suffers for it, since they're stuck relying on the Lasso Tool for just about everything they can't

select with the Rectangular or Elliptical Marquee Tools. In thisAdobe Photoshop tutorial, we're

going to put an end to the suffering. We're going to learn just how easy it really is to make

selections with the Pen Tool.
