The Tool Box

Well, now that you are comfortable with the
drawing canvas,
let's look at the Toolbox
The Photoshop toolbox holds 20 tools that allow
you to
paint,
select,
navigate and edit images. To select a tool you
simply click on the icon with your mouse.
When you do so, several things will happen. For one, the selected
tool button will "stick" to let you know it is selected. If you look
to the figure on the left you will see that the
"Eraser" tool is
currently selected. Photoshop will also remind you which tool you have
selected by modifying the look of your pointer to reflect which tool
you are currently using.
Once selected, a tool can be used to mark up the
drawing canvas. For most of today we will focus on each of the tools
in the toolbar, so for now, just get used to having the toolbar at your
disposal and selecting different tools.
Why not take a moment to select various tools in
the toolbar and check out how the pointer changes.
When you are done, we can discuss the final
component of your workspace, the
palette.
