QUESTIONS

Give Descriptions of the tools and Pic/Symbols Of Tools.


1.Rectangular Marquee.

The Rectangular Marquee tool is used for making rectangular selections within an
image. It is among the most basic of tools, and appears in most every image
editing program available.

It can be used to prepare an image for cropping, while the similar Crop tool
automatically completes the crop when used.

2.Elliptical Marquee Tool

The Elliptical Marquee Tool, 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.
In fact, the only real difference is that the Elliptical Marquee Tool allows us to
draw oval or circular selections! If you already know how to use the Rectangular
Marquee Tool, think of the Elliptical Marquee Tool as being the same thing, just
with extremely rounded corners.

3.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

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

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.

The Magic Wand Tool, known simply as the Magic Wand, is one of the oldest
selection tools in Photoshop. Unlike other selection tools that select pixels in an
image based on shapes or by detecting object edges, the Magic Wand selects
pixels based on tone and color. Many people tend to get frustrated with the
Magic Wand (giving it the unfortunate nickname "tragic wand") because it can
sometimes seem like it's impossible to control which pixels the tool selects.
In this tutorial, we're going to look beyond the magic, discover how the wand
really works, and learn to recognize the situations that this ancient but still
extremely useful selection tool was designed for.

7.Crop Tool.

One of the great new features in Photoshop CS6 is the improved and enhanced
Crop Tool. If you've been using earlier versions of Photoshop to crop your photos,
you'll find quite a few changes with CS6, all designed to make cropping and
straightening images easier and more flexible than ever before. In this tutorial,
we'll learn how it works!

8.Healing Brush Tool

the Spot Healing Brush, the first of three image "healing" tools in Photoshop. The
Spot Healing Brush was first introduced in Photoshop CS2 and, like the other two
healing tools (the standard Healing Brush and the Patch Tool), it's 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. What makes the Spot Healing Brush so amazing and fast is
that it does this with almost no effort from us!

9.Spot Healing Brush Tool

The Healing Brush, by far the best photo retouching tool in all of Photoshop, and
how we can use it to easily reduce distracting skin wrinkles in an image. Notice
how I said "reduce", not "remove" wrinkles. One of the most common retouching
mistakes is to completely remove the wrinkles from a person's face, smoothing
the skin out so completely that a person in their 40's, 50's, 60's or later looks like
they've barely aged a day since they were a teenager.

10.Patch Tool

The patch tool uses the same complex algorithm as the healing brush to carry
out its blend calculations, but the patch tool works with selection-defined areas
instead of a brush. When the patch tool is selected, it initially operates in a lasso
selection mode that can be used to define the area to patch from or patch to. For
example, you can hold down the Option/Alt key to temporarily convert the patch
tool to become a polygonal lasso tool with which to draw straight line selection
edges. However, you dont actually need the patch tool to define the selection,
because any selection tool or selection method can be used to prepare a patch
selection. Once you have made a selection, select the patch tool to proceed to
the next stage.

11.Red Eye Tool

Red eye in portraits is caused when the flash source is used too close to the lens
axis and the pupils of the eye are wide open. One way to avoid this happening is
to set your camera flash to red eye mode (if available). The camera will usually
pop a single or short series of flashes just before firing the main camera flash
exposure. Failing that, the red eye tool in Photoshop is an easy-to-use tool for
removing red eye from photographs that have been taken with a direct flash
source.

12.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.

13.Background Eraser Tool

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 Tool.

The magic eraser tool erases all colours within a set tolerance. This is essentially
the same as using the magic wand and hitting Delete. Using this tool you don't
need to drag just click once.

15.Color Replacement Tool

the Background Eraser and why it's one of the best tools in Photoshop for
removing unwanted areas of an image. In this tutorial, we'll learn all about the
Color Replacement Tool and how it enables us to change the color of an object in
a photo without a lot of fuss or hassle.

16.Blur Tool

The Blur Tool does what it says on the tin - it blurs out sections of your photo or
artwork. For all of these tools you will need to select a brush that is appropriate
for the job you are going to do. You can manage the strength of the blur with the
strength option.

17.Sharpen tool

The Sharpen Tool tightens up pixels that you select. The tool can be a little crude
so it is worth playing with the options. Again how much you sharpen can be
controlled with the strength dropdown.

18.Burn Tool

The Burn Tool is really the inverse of the Dodge Tool. Instead of compensating for
overexposure it allows you to darken areas that have been underexposed.

19.Sponge Tool

When you adjust saturation you adjust the strength of a colour. With the
sponge tool you paint with a brush to either increase the saturation of
decrease it. In the following example we have a beautiful photo by Barbara
Rich. Using the sponge tool we are going to bring out the colours a little
more by saturating them. Specifically the boat and the sky have been
"sponged" to saturate the colours in these areas. Conversely if you wish to
tone down colours select desaturate.

20.Pen Tool

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 this Adobe 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.
