The tools that you'll need in Photoshop whether you access them by keyboard shortcut or by the menu bar all live over here in this guy called the toolbox. Now as you can see, I can grab the gray bar at the top and place it where I'd like it to be in my interface. I can even dock the toolbox by moving it until I see a blue line as you see there on the edge of the screen, and I'll do one over here and let go to dock it into place. These arrows here allow you to see the toolbox in the long format or by clicking it again in the compact form. Now, of course this is really good for people who have a laptop computer and if you have a large monitor then of course you want to expand it out. The tools are arranged in little categories as you see here with these little lines that divide things. Now, it's not really a strict rule of thumb because you'll see that we have the Type tool and we have the Pen Tool next to each other and they don't really do the same thing, but these are a nice way to organize things inside of the toolbox so everything is not cluttered in one never ending stream of tools. At the bottom of the toolbox, you'll see something called Quickmask mode. When you click on this button, you will automatically go into a paintbrush mode where you can paint a mask. Let me just show you, I'll create something, I'm going to grab my brush and I'll grab a color and I just paint like so. When I click here I can then paint in red to enter a mask mode and when I click again I have just painted in mask, so that's what that will do down there. A lot of people think that's the way to go from different screen modes, so I'm going to click command and Control D to deselect that. The tools that you find in the tool box are of course your selection tools such as your marquees, your lassos, your magic wand tools, move tool, your eye dropper tool to select colors, your cropping tools. Down here we have healing tools so you can get rid of blemishes, brush tool to paint, history so you can paint backwards in time, you also have a clone stamp tool that lets you also clone over areas and works in a similar function as the healing brush. We have our eraser, gradients, and our traditional photography tools such as dodge and burn, blur, sharpen, smudge, all these kinds of tools here. Our vector tools of course are our pen tool so we can create our own paths. We have our type tool, we have some shapes that we can draw, path selection so when you draw something with the pencil you can draw the path with this guy here. We have our 3D tools right here so we can manipulate objects that we create in 3D. We have some tools here that allow us to get the hand tool so we can click and move our document around, and we can rotate the view too, so I can rotate the canvas and draw this way that I'm most comfortable. We also have our zoom tool. And by the way, once you're finished with the rotation tool, just go ahead and hit escape to return to the normal view. And we have our swatches here. This guy here in the front is our foreground color and this one's our background color. So I can choose to change the background color to something different and click this arrow here to change these two colors. So I can grab my brush paint in green, and click here and then paint in the other color. I can also get the same functionality by hitting X on my keyboard, so this is what the toolbox will do for you, it contains all the tools you will need to create artwork inside of Photoshop CS4.
