In the first tutorial in this Photoshop Interface series, we took a general tour of the interface and its main features. This time, we'll learn all about Photoshop's tools and the toolbar. The toolbar is where Photoshop holds the many tools we have to work with. There are tools for making selections, for cropping and retouching images, for adding shapes and type, and many more!

Fungsi Tool Pada Photoshop – Artikel kali ini masih berkaitan dengan artikel sebelumnya yaitu Pengertian Photoshop. Untuk mempelajari photoshop kita harus mengerti bagian-bagian yang ada pada photoshop. Terlebih lagi karena kelengkapan fitur yang dimiliki photoshop maka menu dan tool yang digunakan pun tidak sedikit. Content Aware Move Tool: merupakan fasilitas baru di Photoshop CS6 yang berfungsi untuk memindahkan objek ke bagian lain dan secara otomatis menyesuaikan daerah tersebut dengan objek disekitarnya. Red Eye Tool: untuk menghapus warna merah pada mata akibat refleksi cahaya.

We’ll start with a look at the toolbar itself, including how the toolbar is organized and how to access the many tools hidden within it. Then we’ll look at each and every tool in the toolbar with a quick summary of what each tool is used for.

I'm using Photoshop CC 2021 but you can follow along with earlier versions as well. Just note that some tools may not be available in your version.

This is lesson 2 of 10 in our Learning the Photoshop Interface series.

Let's get started!

The Photoshop toolbar

Photoshop's toolbar is located along the left of the screen:

The toolbar.

Choosing a single or double column toolbar

By default, the toolbar appears as a long, single column. But it can be expanded into a shorter, double column by clicking the double arrows at the top. Click the double arrows again to return to a single column toolbar:

The toolbar can be viewed in a single or double column.

The tools layout

Let's look at how Photoshop's toolbar is organized. While it may seem like the tools are listed randomly, there's actually a logical order to it, with related tools grouped together.

At the top, we have Photoshop's Move and Selection tools. And directly below them are the Crop and Slice tools. Below that are the Measurement tools, followed by Photoshop's many Retouching and Painting tools.

Next are the Drawing and Type tools. And finally, we have the Navigation tools at the bottom:

The toolbar's hidden tools

Each tool in the toolbar is represented by an icon, and there are many more tools available than what we see.

A small arrow in the bottom right corner of a tool icon means that there are more tools hiding behind it in that same spot:

Most of the spots in the toolbar hold more than one tool.

To view the additional tools, click and hold on the icon. Or right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac) on the icon. A fly-out menu will open listing the other tools that are available.

For example, if I click and hold on the Rectangular Marquee Tool icon, the fly-out menu tells me that along with that tool, the Elliptical Marquee Tool, the Single Row Marquee Tool and the Single Column Marquee Tool are also grouped in with it.

To choose one of the additional tools, click on its name in the list. I'll choose the Elliptical Marquee Tool:

The default tool

The tool that's initially displayed in each spot in the toolbar is known as the default tool. For example, the Rectangular Marquee Tool is the default tool for the second spot from the top. But Photoshop won't always display the default tool. Instead, it will display the last tool you selected.

Notice that after choosing the Elliptical Marquee Tool from the fly-out menu, the Rectangular Marquee Tool is no longer displayed in the toolbar. The Elliptical Marquee Tool has taken its place:

Each spot in the toolbar displays either the default tool or the last tool selected.

To select the Rectangular Marquee Tool at this point, I would need to either click and hold, or right-click (Win) / Control-click (Mac), on the Elliptical Marquee Tool icon. Then I could select the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the menu:

Selecting the Rectangular Marquee Tool from behind the Elliptical Marquee Tool.

So now that we've learned how Photoshop's toolbar is organized, let's look at the tools themselves.
