The document discusses various selection and editing tools in Photoshop, including the polygonal lasso, magnetic lasso, magic wand, blur, and smudge tools. The polygonal lasso can only create straight selections while the magnetic lasso is more accurate. The magic wand is easy to use but may not select entire areas, and the blur and smudge tools can smooth out edges and fill gaps from selections. Basic tools like the eraser, paint bucket, and zoom are also described as being very simple to use.
