Grayscale — Every pixel in the image is defined by its brightness values between 0 and

to move, resize, reshape, or distort the image.
HSB — Specifies a color's hue, saturation, and brightness.
Lasso Tools — Used to select an object by drawing a closed loop around it.
Layer — Layers are analogous to stacked transparencies. Each layer contains only a por-
tion of the image. The actual image depends on the content of the layers and the order in
which they are stacked. The image data on any layer will obscure the image on any layer
below it in the stack.
Layer Masks — A Black & White graphic representation of how image pixels should be
treated. Black areas of the mask represent transparent areas of the image and white repres-
ents unaffected areas. A layer mask is linked to a layer image and limits the image data
without changing the original image file.

with the other Shape tools and draws vector-based lines.
