3. BASIC TOOLS AND IT FUNCTION
1. Rectangular Marque Tool (M)
This tool is use to make selections on the image, in a rectangular shape. This changes
the area of the image that is affected by other tools or actions to be within the defined
shape. Holding the [Shift] key while dragging your selection, restricts the shape to a
perfect square. Holding the [Alt] key while dragging sets the center of the rectangle to
where user cursor started.
2. Move Tool (V)
Use this tool to, well, move things. Usually the user use it to move a Layer around after it
has been placed. Hold the [Shift] key to limit the movements to vertical/horizontal.
3. Lasso Tool (L)
Ok, this should be the Lasso Tool, but I use the Polygon Lasso a lot more often. Use this
to draw selections in whatever shape you would like. To close the selection, either click
on the beginning point (you’ll see the cursor change when you’re on it), or just double-
click. When holding the [Ctrl] key, you’ll see the cursor change, and the next time you
click, it will close your selection.
4. Sliced Tool (K)
This is used mostly for building websites, or splitting up one image into smaller ones
when saving out. This tool able to cut the small image smoothly.
5. Quick selecting tool ( W)
6. Horizontal Type Tool (T)
It function to makes type of text or whatever the users want to write. This step only click
at single point, and start typing right away or the users can click and drag to make a
bounding box of where your text/type goes. There’s a lot of options for the Type Tool.
Just play around, it’s fairly straight-forward.

4. 7. Hand Tool (T)
This tool can really make short work of user job with the Hand Tool. It’s for moving
the entire image within a window. So if you’re zoomed in and your image area is
larger than the window, you can use the Hand Tool to navigate around your image.
Just click and drag. You can get to this tool at any time when using any other tool by
pressing and holding the [Spacebar].
8. Zoom Tool (Z)
This tool allows the user to zoom into the image. To back actual size picture hold the
[Alt] key to zoom out. Holding the [Shift] key will zoom all of the windows that users have
open at the same time. Double-click on the Zoom Tool in the palette to go back to 100%
view.
Picture 2: Layer of photoshop tools
Layer of Photoshop Tools
Layers are like sheets of tracing paper layered over the image. In the layers palette, Window >
Show Layers, the user can see the layers you have created. You can only change information
on the layer that is selected. Click on the eye icon at the left to make a layer invisible.

5. 1. Adjustment layer
Go to the Layers palette and select "new adjustment layer" or can also go to Layer >
adjustment layer. Adjustment layers work like filters. When the users remove it from
the image, the original image remains. This means you can make change the tonal
adjustments on layers separate from users image, so they don't become permanent
until the users flatten the image (merge all the layers). To move a selection to a new
layer, go to the Layer menu at the top of the screen and choose "New via Cut" or
"Copy" This will either move or copy the selection to a new layer.
2. Aligning layers
The layers (and therefore text or objects on separate layers) can be aligned
individually to a selection border or to each other. To align a layer to a selection,
make the layer active, and under the layer menu, choose "align to selection". To
align two or more layers to each other, first link them by selecting a layer and clicking
in the box to the left of all layers that the users want to link to it. (You will see the
linking icon appear.) Next, go to the layer menu and choose "align linked". The users
can use this method to align text on the page to other text or to selections. While the
text is linked, it can move it as one block.
3. Layer effects
In the Layer palette the uses will now find a series of effects that can apply to text or
other objects on that layer, such as drop shadow, glow effects, and others.
4. Merge down
This command in the Layers palette allows you to select a layer and merge it with the
one beneath it. The users can change the order of the layers to merge any two.
Remember, though, that for adjustment layers to work, they need to be above, or
higher on the list, than the original image.
