3.2 Tools Toolbar (where the good stuff resides!)
The
Tools
toolbar contains the most common tools for image creation, editing, and cutting. Below is a
screen shot with a description of the functions of each tool.
For those tools with a tiny black arrow in the lower right corner, a pop-out menu will appear when the tool is
selected. Note you must have large sized icons selected to see these tiny black arrows.
Each tool will have a different Smart Bar appear at the top of the screen. The Smart Bar will contain
individual settings used for that tool.
