Just like a real artist has a toolbox in front of them we have a toolbox located in painter. Normally, it's located in the upper left hand corner. But as you see here by grabbing this area I can put it where ever I want. So let's go ahead and talk about some of them. The first tool we have is the brush tool, and you'll be using the brush quite a bit or it wouldn't be called Painter of course. If you look at the top here, we have the property bar and that will give you the ability to change the way the tools work. Next to the brush we have the layer adjuster and it basically allows you to move things around and manipulate layers. Here we have the rectangular selection tool also known as a marquee and if you look in the little left or rather the bottom right hand corner we have this little black diamond and a fly out menu appears when you click it and you have other tools in there. So we have the elliptical selection tool as well as the lasso tool. And that applies to any of the tools that have a little black diamond in the corner. There's more stuff in there if you hold the mouse down. Alright to the right of that we have the magic wand tool which allows you to select pixels that are similar in color. Over here we have the crop tool; the crop tool lets you pretty much resize an image, cropping off the edges that you don't want to see anymore. And they are now removed from the image. To the right of the crop tool we have the selection adjustor tool which will allow you to relocate selections that you've created in your document. Now let's go on to the pen tool, the pen tool, allows you to draw baser curves similar to those you'd find in Adobe Illustrator. And if I click and hold my mouse down you see that we have the quick curve tool which allows you to draw as you would expect a pen tool to work. By letting you simply click and drag your mouse instead of clicking and creating points one at a time. And we'll discuss both of these a little later on. After that we have our rectangular shape tool and once again if I hold the mouse down we have the elliptical shape tool. These draw vector shapes and vectors are pretty much the opposite of pixels. So, moving along we have our text tool which of course we would hope would create text for us. Now we have our shape selection tool and if we hold the mouse down we'll see that we have some more tools. We have the scissors, we have the add point tool, the delete point tool and the convert curve or convert point tool. So this will take a curve and make it a straight line and vice versa. We'll talk about how that works as well, so basically if you have a corner like this and you use this tool you're able to make a nice smooth curve and vice versa. Here we have the dropper tool, which is known as the eye dropper tool, in other applications. Pretty much it works by letting you click on an area and sample that color which stays in the eye dropper. Let me tell you, you click with the paint bucket tool or another tool to create that color that you just sampled. Here we have our paint bucket tool which will allow you to fill in shapes with color. For example a coloring book, make believe you have a coloring book in front of you and you are painting with the crayons or a brush but you want to fill in the entire area with a color. You would use the paint bucket tool to do that. Down here, we have our magnifier tool which will zoom in and zoom out of a document and here we have what's known as the grabber tool. Pretty much the grabber tool will let you move around in the document. So if you really zoomed in on a face and you used the grabber tool, you're able to use that to move the document so you can see the eye or whatever you want to work on. And if we click the mouse we have some more tools in here. We have a rotate page tool, which is very handy and our perspective grid tool. Let's come on down here to our color swatches the one in the front is the main color and this guy back here is known as the additional color. And basically what you do is you double click on one of these if you need to you and you're system color picker opens up. Let me grab that and put it over here and you can choose a color and whatever color you select will then replace the chip that's in front. So if I click OK, that is now the main color that we're going to be working with. And now we have some more tools down here, these are like drawers, and we have the paper selector and you're able to choose the paper you want to work with as you see here. Artist canvas, wood grain, so on and so forth to the right of that guy we have a gradient selector. Let me move this up a little bit so we can see everything, we have gradient selector so we can change the gradient that we're going to paint with. Over here we have our pattern selector. To the right of that we have the weave selector and we have the look selector and we also have the nozzle selector so we're gonna talk about all these in depth as well as the other tools as we work in actual Painter documents.
