The document summarizes various tools available in Illustrator, Premier Pro, and Photoshop. In Illustrator, basic shapes, grids, and the gradient tool allow for vector drawing and editing. Premier Pro's timeline, audio mixer, and Lumetri color panel facilitate video editing and color grading. Photoshop offers selection, editing, and layer tools like the magic wand, quick selection, replace color, and blend modes for bitmap image manipulation.
