ASSIGNMENT PHOTOSHOP

Give description of the tool and pic/symbol of tools.

1)Rectangular marquee tool

The Marquee tool is the most basic of selection tools and often the one most useful.
This tool is used to draw selections based on geometric shapes. Specifically, the marquee
tool allows you to draw rectangularand elliptical selections

2)Eliptical marquee tool

The Elliptical Marquee Tool, which is what we'll be looking at here, is another of Photoshop's
basic selection tools. It's nearly identical to the Rectangular Marquee Tool and works much the same
way.
In fact, the only real difference is that the Elliptical Marquee Tool allows us to draw oval or circular
selections! If you already know how to use the Rectangular Marquee Tool, think of the Elliptical
Marquee Tool as being the same thing, just with extremely rounded corners.

3)Lasso tool

This is a freehand selection tool. Click and hold your left mouse button on the image and draw your selection.

4)Polygonal Lasso tool

Polygonal Lasso Tool. Similar to the lasso tool, except that instead of holding your
mouse button down to draw, left-click on various points to create a selection with a
series of straight edges. You can also hold down the Alt key (Windows) or Option key
(Mac OS) to draw freehand sections.

5)Magnetic Lasso tool

Periodically, the Magnetic Lasso tool adds fastening points to the selection border to
anchor previous segments. If the border doesn't snap to the desired edge, click once to
add a fastening point manually. Continue to trace the edge, and add fastening points as
needed.

6)magic wand tool

Select the magic wand tool in the toolbox. In the options bar, select a Tolerance value
(0 to 255). This determines how closely to match colours - higher tolerance means a
larger selection. Check Anti-aliased to define a smooth edge to the selection.

7)Crop tool

The Crop Tool cuts out a defined area deleting or hiding the rest of an image: In the
Toolbox, select the Crop Tool, click on the image and draw a rectangle holding mouse's
button pressed. When you release the button a bounding box appears. You can move,
resize and rotate it.

8)Healing Brush tool

The Healing Brush tool allows you to fix image imperfections such as scratches, blemishes, etc. By sampling
the surrounding area or using a predefined pattern you can blend the imperfections into the rest of the image.

9)Spot healing brush tool

The spot healing brush is the default healing tool in Photoshop and can be used to
clone areas from an image and blend the pixels from the sampled area seamlessly with
the target area. The basic principle is that the texture from the sample area is blended
with the color and luminosity surrounding wherever you paint.

10)patch tool

The patch tool uses the same complex algorithm as the healing brush to carry out its blend calculations, but the patch
tool works with selection-defined areas instead of a brush. When the patch tool is selected, it initially operates in a
lasso selection mode that can be used to define the area to patch from or patch to. For example, you can hold down
the Option/Alt key to temporarily convert the patch tool to become a polygonal lasso tool with which to draw straight
line selection edges. However, you dont actually need the patch tool to define the selection, because any selection
tool or selection method can be used to prepare a patch selection. Once you have made a selection, select the patch
tool to proceed to the next stage.

11)Red eye tool

he Red Eye Tool in Photoshop removes the red eye in the flash photos. Earlier removing red eye was a task of
creating adjustment layers, adding blur, modifying the saturation and so on. Removing red eye has been made very
simple with the Red Eye tool.

12)Clone stamp tool

Photoshop's clone stamp tool allows you to duplicate part of an image.

The process involves setting a sampling point in the image which will be used as a reference to create a new
cloned area.
Select the Clone Stamp tool
, then check the settings in the options bar. Make sure you have a brush size
appropriate for the job. The following settings are fairly typical:

13)Background eraser tool

Photoshop's eraser tool can be found in the second group of icons in the toolbox. It has three
variations: Eraser,Background Eraser and Magic Eraser.
The eraser is basically a brush which erases pixels as you drag it across the image. Pixels are erased to
transparency, or the background colour if the layer is locked.

14)magic eraser tool

Select the magic eraser tool . Enter a tolerance value in the options bar. This setting
defines the range of colors that can be erased. A low tolerance erases pixels within a
range of color values very similar to the pixel you click. A high tolerance erases pixels
within a broader range

15)Color

replacement tool

The Color Replacement tool lets you replace a specific color in your image. For best results use soft brushes
with this tool to help blend the colors into the original image. Have you ever captured that perfect picture of a
family member or friend, only to find they have red eyes? Or maybe theres a part of your image where the
color draws attention away from the focal point. Either way, the Color Replacement tool is a great feature that
allows you to take control of the final image.

16)Blur tool

The Blur tool allows you to soften hard edges and reduce detail in specific areas of an image.
The Sharpen tool sharpens specific areas of an image. The Smudge tool simulates the effect
you see when you drag your finger through wet paint.

17)sharpen tool

The Sharpen tool sharpens specific areas of an image. The Smudge tool simulates the effect
you see when you drag your finger through wet paint.

18)burn tool

The Burn Tool is really the inverse of the Dodge Tool. Instead of compensating for overexposure
it allows you to darken areas that have been underexposed.

19)Sponge tool

When you adjust saturation you adjust the strength of a colour. With the sponge tool you paint
with a brush to either increase the saturation of decrease it. In the following example we have a
beautiful photo by Barbara Rich. Using the sponge tool we are going to bring out the colours a
little more by saturating them. Specifically the boat and the sky have been "sponged" to saturate
the colours in these areas. Conversely if you wish to tone down colours select desaturate.

20)pen tool

The pen tool is, perhaps, the most bizarre and valuable tool Illustrator has to offer. It places anchor points
which define a path that, eventually, becomes an object.
Anchor points define the path by controlling the angle of a corner, or the shape of a curve. While it takes
time to master this tool, it is worth every minute of effort. The shapes you end up with are economical,
clean and precise.
(HINT: when you are drawing a symmetrical shape, only draw half of it, and use the reflect/copy option to
create the other half.)
Click the play buttons (below) to see how the pen tool works. You can pause the movie at any time.
