Getting to Know the Tools
ОглавлениеYou use tools to create, select, and manipulate objects in Photoshop CC. When you have Photoshop open, the Tools panel appears along the left side of the workspace (see Figure 1-3), and panels appear on the right side of the screen. (We discuss panels in the later section “Navigating the Work Area.”)
FIGURE 1-3: The Photoshop CC workspace includes the Tools panel.
In the Tools panel, look for a tooltip when you hover the cursor over any one of the tools. Following the tool name is a letter in parentheses, which is the keyboard shortcut you can use to access that tool. Simply press the Shift key along with the key command you see to access any hidden tools. In other words, pressing P activates the Pen tool, and pressing Shift+P rotates through the hidden tools under the Pen tool. When you see a small triangle in the lower-right corner of the tool icon, you know that the tool contains hidden tools.
Table 1-1 lists the Photoshop tools, describes what each one is used for, and specifies in which chapter you can find more information about each one.
