 Layers in Photoshop
➢ Layers are used in digital image editing to separate different elements of an
image.
➢ A layer can be compared to a transparency on which imaging effects or
images are applied and placed over or under an image.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Move Tool : Move tool is used to select the
object/layer from screen. After making any change
on image you need to apply that change on image
by pressing the move button.
➢ Marquee: this tool allows you to select an area of an
image within a particular shape. The default is
rectangle, but there is also an ellipse selection as
well as a single row and single column marquee.
➢ Lasso: this tool allows you to select irregular areas of
an image. There is also the freehand lasso tool and
the magnetic lasso tool (which will find the edge of

➢ Magic Wand: the magic wand tool is another tool that you can use to
select an area on the screen. It is used when you want to select an area
that contains the same colour throughout.
➢ Crop: this tool allows you to cut/remove an image to a particular
segment.
➢ Slice: the slice tool allows you to divide an image into sections, making
it easier to break up the image for putting it on the web or for making
composite images. The second option under the slice tool is the slice
select tool, which allows you to apply modifications to a slice that you
have created.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Healing Brush: this tool allows you correct imperfections, causing them to
disappear into the surrounding image. You use the healing brush tool to
paint with sampled pixels from an image or pattern. The other tool that this
button allows you to select is the patch tool. The patch tool lets you repair
a selected area with pixels from another area or a pattern.

➢ Paint Brush: this tool is as you would imagine used to paint on an image.
There are numerous different brush shapes and sizes that allow the user to
create different textures to their image. The other option to this tool is the
pencil tool.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Clone Stamp: this tool takes a sample of an image, which you can then apply
over another image or part of the same image. Each stroke of the tool paints on
more of the sample. The other tool that can be selected here is the pattern
stamp tool, which lets you paint with a pattern. You can select a pattern from
the pattern libraries or create your own patterns.

➢ History Brush: this tool allows you paint with the source data from a specified
history state or snapshot. The other option is the art history brush which allows
for painting with stylized strokes from a specified history state or snapshot.

the background eraser tool or magic eraser tool which allow you to erase
specific parts of the image.

➢ Gradient: a gradient allows you to fill an area of an image with a color

range, where the colors gradually run into each other. The other option
with this tool is the paint bucket or fill tool, which you would use to fill a
selected area of the image with a single color.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Smudge: this tool allows you to create an effect
similar to the effect caused when working with
pencils and you smudge an area of the image with
your finger. The companion tools to this tool are the
blur tool and the sharpen tool which allow you to
blur the focus or sharpen the focus of an area of the
image.
➢ Sponge: this tool allows you to subtly change the
color of the image, by altering the color saturation
of the area adjusted by the sponge tool. The other
options under this tool are the dodge and burn
tools, which are used to lighten or darken an area of
the image respectively.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Path Selection: used for selecting vector images. Vector images are images
that can be resized without loosing resolution because they are based on
mathematical formula as opposed to bitmapped or raster images, which
are constructed using a finite number of pixels. The companion tool to
this is the direct selection tool, which allows you select a path segment.

➢ Text: this tool allows you to add text to your image. You can also change the
orientation of text to the vertical type tool.

 Photoshop Tools
➢ Notes: this tool is used to add notes to an image. They are not part of the
image but can be useful when sharing the image as the image author can
add valuable information about the image to the image file so others can
appreciate what is intended by an image. The companion tool to this tool is
the audio annotation tool, which allows a user with a microphone attached
to their computer to add a “speaker note” to the
image to convey information to other users of the
image.
➢ Eyedropper: this tool allows you to set the color of the foreground of the
color palette from a color within the image. The
companion tools are the color sampler tool and
the measure tool, which can be used to get the
exact coordinates and pixel height and width of any
part of the image.

have performed on an image and to undo those actions while also
providing you with the opportunity to save these actions for repeated use.

 Layers palette
➢ The Layers palette, which allows you to efficiently manage the different
layers in your image. From here, you can lock a layer so that it can’t be
edited, add image effects, create and delete layers, set the opacity of a
layer and many other things that help you to create images cleanly and
efficiently.
