ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 4.0 21 User Guide Tools About the toolbox You use tools in the toolbox to select, edit, and view images; some tools let you paint, draw, and type. The toolbox appears on the left side of the Standard Edit and Quick Fix workspaces. In the Standard Edit workspace, you can move the toolbox by dragging the gripper bar at the top of the box. You must select a tool in the toolbox before you can use it. Once selected, the tool is highlighted in the toolbox, and optional settings for the tool appear in the options bar, which is located below the shortcuts bar at the top of the Editor workspace. Some tools in the toolbox have additional tools beneath them. These are called hidden tools. A small triangle at the lower right of the tool icon signals that there are hidden tools. When you select a tool, any additional hidden tools appear in the options bar. Note: You cannot deselect a tool-once you select a tool, it remains selected until you select a different tool. For example, if you've selected the Lasso tool, and you want to click in your image without selecting anything, select the Hand tool. You can view information about any tool in the toolbox by positioning the pointer over it. The name of the tool appears below the pointer-this is called the tool tip. You can click a link in some tool tips to see additional information about the tool.
