dicated by little arrows next to the tools' icons, shown in Figure 1-12), you can't ever see all the
tools at once. For grouped tools, the icon you see is the one for the last tool you used in that group.
Many of the icons in the Tools panel actually represent tool
groups
, but Adobe has chosen to
play hide and seek with the subtools. Move your cursor over a section of the Tools panel, and
you'll see teeny, tiny arrows above the icons of the tools in that section that have other tools
nested with them (see
Figure 1-12
).
When you click an icon in the Tools panel, the Tool Options area (
The Photo Bin/Tool Op-
tions Area
)
displays settings for that tool, as well as icons for any subtools nested with that
tool. If you forget what a particular icon is for, just put your cursor over it—without click-
ing—and a label (called a
tooltip
) appears telling you the tool's name.
