The toolbox in Photoshop

The toolbox in Photoshop is split up into 4 unique categories so that finding the right tool is never a hassle.

Those categories are:
Selection, Crop & Slice Tools
Retouch & Paint Tools
Drawing & Type Tools (Vector Tools)
Annotations & Measurement Tools

In addition to these 4 sections a few other components make up the toolbox, most notably, the Foreground and Background colors.

Now that you see how the tools are all organized, let’s take a look at some of the most vital tools Photoshop has to offer. This is really just a cursory glance of the toolbox, as we’d be crazy to go into detail for EVERY SINGLE tool Photoshop has to offer in a single lesson, but you ought to now have an understanding what some of the tools are capable of. We’ll go over how to use many of these tools in later lessons.
