Photoshop and online tools give you the ability to take your digital art to the next level. Use layers to create intricate images, and the Crop and Slice tools to cut or crop an image. You can create lines using the brushing and drawing tools. You can also utilize the Brush and Pencil tool to paint large splashes of colors. The Eyedropper tool lets you capture and match colors within What benchmark applications are used for an image, while measurement tools allow for precise measurements and positioning.

Selection tools allow you to outline an area in your image and apply various effects to it. The Lasso as well as its Polygonal Lasso, and Magnetic variations, gives you more control over the selection. You can then use the patch tool to repair the selection or you can use the Content Aware Move tool to move an object or layer without affecting its appearance or changing other elements in the image around it.

Blur softens pixels, making them less distinct. This is a great way to reduce glare or create an ethereal look. Sharpen reverses this by making the pixels more distinct and often used for retouching to eliminate wrinkles and other imperfections. Dodge and Burn lighten or darken pixels, and the Sponge tool absorbs or releases color, so it is useful for improving areas where the contrast is too high. The Move tool allows you to move an object or layer by moving it. You can choose a keyboard shortcut that allows you to switch between tools and also alter the setting which determines whether or not Photoshop switches between tools when you hold a key and hold down Shift.
