o Polygon Lasso Tool: Works like stitching and create points. Better than above but it is still manual
 o Magnetic Lasso Tool: Works something like polygon but we just need to hover the mouse and points
are created by own. But it only helpful if there are not many colors in the picture and object area can
be easily identified. If there is a mistake, that can be corrected using Backspace or Delete key as they
will remove the previous stitch point. Press ENTER to make the selection.
o Quick Selection Tool: You already know how it work and you can alter its size using Bracket Keys.
o Magic Wand Tool: Works best if there is a plane background or single color background.
 Tolerance: Used to increase or decrease the range of the tool. Value 1 means it will select only
the 1 color which is clicked . Increasing the tolerance to , let’s say, 30 means it will now select
the color clicked and 30 related colors hence increasing the range.

on all types of selection tool and can also be work together.

 Erase tool also work like brush tool and have properties just like brush tool
 Magic Eraser tool works just like magic wand too but its for erasing.
Masking: It basically helps in creating a mask layer of the selected layer on which editing take place. If this is not
turned on, the editing can not be removed but using this, it can. For ex: If you use brush tool to paint some thing
and then want to earse it, you can not as it will delete the pixels or content of the original image or object as well .
But if you put the mask, you can delete the paint only to bring back the content of original, just need to paint again
with white color. Hence, To ERASE, we use BLACK COLOR, to BRING BACK, color with white color. Coloring must be
done on the mask layer.
Option to put masking is available under the layer panel.

 Image menu > Adjustment: all the tool and options to do the color correction. Also available under the layer
panel.’
Shape Tool: Helps in creating shapes and vector objects. It cannot be worked normally and need to be rasterize.

 Use Rectangle tool to do the same and hold shift while creating a rectangle to make a square.
 Stroke in edit bar means border and its thickness.
Pen Tool: used to make selections, trace the outline and make shapes, etc.

 A closed path made by the pen tool can be either converted to Selection, Shape or Mask from the edit bar.
They are behave like the above explained.
 The path panel is near the layer panel.
 To make a curve line, just hold the Mouse after clicking the second point and drag it make the formed line
curve. Two handles will appear where first/above has made the curve line and another one will make the line
curve that you will make after that.
 To adjust the curves after making them, just hold the ALT key and drag the handle created.
 To move a creation point, just hold CTRL key and move it.
 Put the handle point on creation point to put it on ZERO and the line will be straight.
Style panel: it is used to give styles to the objects and can be accessed from view menu.
Typography: Explored on your own.

 When everything is done and project is completed click on CTRL + S to open the SAVE AS window, every
project you made must be saved in the Photoshop format which is known as Master file so that whenever
you will open it again you will get all the editings you did separately like you will see all the different layers
you added and others and for display and other purposes you should save it in the required format which is
either jpg or PNG or bitmap etc.
