Magnetic Lasso Tool, this is used for when you need to cut something out for example a person, the lasso automatically recognizes where you want to cut around, making it easier when cutting out larger pictures.
Magic Wand Tool, used when you want to get rid of or change a certain block of colour, for example, when using fonts from dafont.com, you would crop then magic wand and select the background to make the image not have a background colour.
Crop Tool, used when you want to get rid of a large area of things but keep one small specific thing, anything that is not in the designated box will be cropped out and deleted, used a lot when creating titles and subtitles for my magazine.
Clone Stamp Tool, used when there is an imperfection on the layer, for example a spot on someone's face, you would alt and click on the area around the spot then left click over the spot and it would disappear, i used this alot on my two main images, and found this really helpful when needing to blend the background of my photo to the background of the actual page.
Eraser Tool, used to erase anything in the layer you don't want, for example a bit of writing in your actual picture, you could use the eraser tool to get rid of this, then clone stamp over the empty space.
Eyedropper Tool, used when i need to select a colour that is already on my page, i used this mostly when using text, to make sure my colours matched exactly.
Text Tool, draw a box then write in it, the font and size is located at the top of the screen, along with the colour selector i used this when i wanted to write something, i used this constantly throughout my project.
