The history brush lets you paint back in time. Photoshop doesn’t do anything beyond painting one area over a new area. With the clone stamp, however, that’s it. Like the healing brush, the clone stamp lets you sample part of the photograph and use it to paint over another part. You can paint with standard paintbrush and airbrush styles, or even paint with leaves and other shapes as well. The paintbrush, however, can be set to many different kinds of brushes. The paintbrush is a tool that emulates a paintbrush and the pencil is a tool that emulates a pencil. Once you’re finished, Photoshop will examine surrounding areas and try to blend what you painted in with the rest of the picture. The healing brush lets you sample part of the photograph and use it to paint over another part. The eyedropper will change your foreground color to whatever color it sampled from the canvas. The eyedropper tool lets you click on any part of the canvas and sample the color at that exact point. You can specify the exact size and constrain the crop tool to those proportions, or you can just crop to any size you please. The crop tool is used to (surprise!) crop your pictures. This tool can be used as a crude way to remove backgrounds from photos. Within this tool you also have access to the polygonal lasso, which lets you create a selection by clicking around on the canvas and creating points, and the magnetic lasso, which works the same as the regular lasso but attempts to detect edges for you and automatically snap to them Magic Wand (Keyboard: W)Ĭlicking an area with the magic wand will tell Photoshop to select the spot you clicked on and anything around it that’s similar. The lasso is a free-form selection tool that lets you drag around the canvas and select anything the lasso’d area covers. By default you get a rectangular (or perfect square if you hold down shift while selecting), but you can also select in the shape of an ellipse (or a perfect circle if you hold down shift while selecting). The marquee lets you select part of the canvas in a specific shape. You can select the more options on each tool by right click on a tool. Some tools have similar functions which are grouped together in one tool. This Photoshop tools panel contains collection of tools for creating, editing, selecting, cropping, and manipulating your images.
