How do you select tools in Photoshop?

Answer 1

There arre a few ways to select a color in Photoshop. Use the eyedropper tool and click in an area that has the desired color, that color is now loaded in the foreground color. There are also numerous color pallets to choose from. In the main menu under windows open the color swatches pallet. From the swatches pallet you can choose a color or a color library.

Answer 2

By clicking on tool icon on the left side of screen (Toolbox, if you do not see it go to Window > Tools) or using keyboard shortcut. Almost every tool have corresponding keyboard shortcut like Brush tool - B, Move tool - V, Marquee tools - M and so on. Note that tools are grouped so entire group have same shortcut, for example: Brush, Pencil, Color Replacement and Mixer Brush tool shares same shortcut - letter B. To cycle through tools with same shortcut press Shift + shortcut and watch cursor which will change to reflect selected tool or watch at toolbox and which tool icon is visible - that tool is selected and active so you can use it.

Too see all tools in group click on tool icon and hold until pop-up window appear with all tools in that group.

You can adjust colors from Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation for example but you can adjust colors and using Vibrance, Curves... My recommendation to use same adjustments but from Layer > New Adjustment Layer > choose adjustment, because in this way you will create new adjustment layer in layers stack which is totaly non-destructive and you can change it or delete at any time without affecting original image data (pixels).

As you know, RGB stands for Red Green Blue. It is a color scheme for monitors, while CMYK is for printing and publishing. So if you are designing something for print, better change color scheme to CMYK (Image -> mode). There are also HSB scheme(You determine hue saturation and brightness). In RGB you combine those three basic colors to get desired one. You have scale from 0 to 255 for every color (in most cases you use 8 bit color and this means 256 variations for every basic color).Those colors are actually red, green and blue filters, which filter the light, so if you set up all filters to 255, you are actually not filtering any colors and you will see white because mixing those color waves you are letting out all waves form seeing color specter. Like daylight. And if you set all filters to 0, the color will be black because you are not letting the light out. There are many techniques on how to properly mix the colors.To see those technique, how to edit colors on your photos and read more about color schemes, visit the link below.
