The ToolBox contains different cursor tools that allow you to perform a variety of operations on your image. They can all be chosen by clicking on the button in the Box, but also by typing the letter that is given in brackets in the description below. Some of them, with a small arrowhead at the bottom right corner, have multiple choices, which you also will see from the list below. The lower part of the ToolBox contains control areas for colour selection, and different display options. Some tools in the toolbox have options that appear in the context-sensitive Options bar that will appear at the top of the window just below the Menu bar.

Color Management Color management standards let you move image files between computers and applications, or from camera, to monitor, to printer, with relative color consistency.

The system works by embedding a “color profile” into to an image file that specifies what color space is in use. When the file is opened in Photoshop, if the working space for Photoshop is set for a different colorspace than specified in a file’s color profile, Photoshop may be set to give an alert, or to “preserve” the embedded profile to maintain the appearance of the colors in the image.
