The toolbox has various tools for editing an image. The toolbox is divided into several sections of similar tools:
* Selection Tools
* Enhancement Tools
* Vector Tools
* Navigation Tools
* Color Tools
The toolbox is pictured to the left. It contains all of the various Photoshop tools. In addition to the visible tools, the tools with a small black arrow in the lower-right corner contain fly-out menus with other related tool choices. In the example to the left, the Dodge Tool is depressed, displaying the Burn Tool and the Sponge Tool in the fly-out menu.
To select a tool to use:
* If the tool is visible on the toolbox, click it once to activate it.
OR
* If the tool is hidden, point to the appropriate tool family icon and hold the mouse button down; the fly-out menu will appear. Click on the desired tool in the menu to activate it.
