Give Descriptions of the tools and Pic/Symbols of tools.

1. Rectangular Marquee Tool (M)

Use this tool to make selections on your image, in a rectangular shape. This changes the
area of your 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 your cursor
started.

2. Elliptical marquee tool

This tool, available when you click and hold down on the selection tool region of the tool bar,
selects elliptical spaces. To select a round area, hold the shift key while clicking and
dragging.

3. Lasso tool
which allows you to draw a selection by dragging the cursor freehand. The selection will
close itself.

4. Polygon Lasso tool

which creates a selection composed of straight lines that can be as short as one pixel. The
selection grows with each additional click. This tool is especially useful for cutting out objects
in an image to place on new backgrounds

5. Magnetic Polygon Lasso tool

works a little like a combination of the other two lasso tool. As you drag, the selection maps
to natural borders in the image. This is a useful tool when dealing with well-defined and highcontrast images.

6. Magic Wand Tool

The magic wand tool is similar to the magnetic polygon lasso tool except that rather than
dragging to make a selection, you click in a region and a selection appears around similar
colored pixels. You can control how similar pixels must be to be included in the selection by
altering the tolerance value.
This tool is useful for selecting monochromatic regions or pieces of high-contrast images.

7. Crop Tool (C)

The Crop Tool works similarly to the Rectangular Marquee tool (see above if you have no
short-term memory). The difference is when you press the [Enter/Return] key, it crops your
image to the size of the box. Any information that was on the outside of the box is now gone.
Not permanently, you can still undo

8. Healing Brush Tool (J)

This is a really useful tool. Mildly advanced. You can use this tool to repair scratches and
specs and stuff like that on images. It works like the Brush tool (see below). You choose your
cursor size, then holding the [Alt] key, you select a nice/clean area of your image. Let go of
the [Alt] key and paint over the bad area. It basically copies the info from the first area to the
second, in the form of the Brush tool. Only, at the end, it averages the information, so it
blends.
