Tools box

The tools box (or you could say the tools toolbox since this is a floating selection of tools) is the area where you pick the action you want to apply to an image – a selection, text, zoom, color fill, drawing – all are contained within in this box.

Note that to apply an image altering effect to any part of an image, that area must be selected. If in doubt, use Select All from the Select menu.

The buttons on the right of the Tools box, with a small arrow beside them are really groups of buttons with similar functions. For example, you can click on the Rectangular Select button to make it the current tool or you can click on the arrow to reveal further tools. When selected, the current tool appears on top
