Adobe Photoshop CS4 p. 10

 

If you used other Adobe products, such as Illustrator or InDesign, you should be familiar with the 

toolbox in  Adobe Photoshop CS4 as it shares some of the tools from these applications. If you are 

a novice user of Adobe products, you should keep in mind that you might not need to use all of the 

tools. In this tutorial, only the basic tools will be discussed in depth. 

Some tools in the toolbar have additional “hidden” tools. These tools have small black triangles in 

the right-hand corner. To view the “hidden” tools, click and hold down on any tool that has a black 

triangle in the corner (Fig. 1).
