Tools Of Adobe Photoshop:
Rectangular Marquee Tool (M):

Move Tool (V):
Use this tool to, well, move things.
Polygon Lasso Tool (L):
Use this to draw selections in whatever shape you would like.
Magic Wand Tool (W):
Use this to select a color range. It will select the block of color, or transparency, based on wherever you click.
Crop Tool (C):
The Crop Tool works similarly to the Rectangular Marquee tool. The difference is when you press the [Enter/Return] key, it crops your image to the size of the box.
Slice Tool (K):
This is used mostly for building websites, or splitting up one image into smaller ones.
Healing Brush Tool (J):
This is a really useful tool.You can use this tool to repair scratches and stuff like that on images. It works like the Brush tool.
Brush Tool (B):
It paints one your image, in whatever color you have selected, and whatever size you have selected. There’s a lot of options for it, but this is basic .
Clone Stamp Tool (S):
This is very similar to the Healing Brush Tool.You use it the exact same way, except this tool doesn’t blend at the end. It’s a direct copy of the information from the first selected area to the second.
History Brush Tool (H):
This tool works just like the Brush Tool except the information that it paints with is from the original state of your image.We can reverse history with the help of this tool.
Eraser Tool (E):
This is the anti-Brush tool. It works like an eraser and erases whatever information wherever you click and drag it.
Gradient Tool (G):
You can use this to make a gradiation of colors.It creates a blending of your foreground color and background color when you click and drag it.
Blur Tool (R):
It makes things blurry.
Dodge Tool (O):
It’s actually used to lighten whatever area you use it on. As long as it is not absolute black.
Path Selection Tool (A):
You use this tool when working with paths.
Horizontal Type Tool (T):
It makes type or text.
It’s for creating paths, in which you would use the Path Selection Tool to select the path.
Rectangle Tool (U):
By default it draws a Shape Layer in the form of a rectangle.
Notes Tool (N):
You can use this tool to add small little note boxes to your image. These are useful if you’re very forgetful or if you’re sharing your Photoshop file with someone else. I’m pretty sure it only works with .PSD files.
Eyedropper Tool (I):
This tool works by changing your foreground color to whatever color you click on.
Hand Tool (T):
It’s for moving your entire image within a window. So if you’re zoomed in and your image area is larger than the window, you can use the Hand Tool to navigate around your image.
Zoom Tool (Z):
It allows you to zoom into your image. Don’t be dumb, it doesn’t actually change the size of your image.
