Chapter 3: Adding Content with Tools

Overview

When most people think of Photoshop, they think of it as a photo-editing application. Although it is very strong in that department, it also has a full range of tools to help you add content to a blank image or to an image you've created or opened from another source. Painting and drawing with your computer may take some practice, but like any other skill, the results are worth the effort. In this chapter, you'll learn how to:

• Select colors for painting

• Paint with the painting tools

• Draw with the drawing tools

• Add and improve text

• Create your own brushes
