Use
tools in the toolbox to select, edit, and view images; some tools
let you paint, draw, and type. The toolbox appears on the left side
of the Full Edit and Quick Fix workspaces. In the Full Edit workspace,
you can move the toolbox by dragging the gripper bar at the top
of the box.
You must select a tool in the toolbox before you can use it.
Once selected, the tool is highlighted in the toolbox, and optional
settings for the tool appear in the options bar, which is located
below the shortcuts bar at the top of the workspace. Some tools
in the toolbox have additional tools beneath them. These are called
nested
tools. A small triangle at the lower right of the tool icon
signals that there are nested tools. When you select a tool, any
additional nested tools appear in the options bar.
Note: You cannot
deselect a tool—once you select a tool, it remains selected until you
select a different tool. For example, if you’ve selected the Lasso
tool, and you want to click your image without selecting anything,
select the Hand tool.
You can view information about any tool in the toolbox by positioning
the pointer over it. The name of the tool appears below the pointer—this
is called the tool tip. You can click a link in some
tool tips to see additional information about the tool.
