5. Selection tools
From the click-and-drag marquee tools, to
magnetic selection tools that snap to the edges of
an element, to the pen tool that lets you define a
shape precisely, Photoshop offers a range of
shape-selection options. You can also select by
color, using the magic wand or the Color Range
command. And the Extract command provides a
sophisticated way to isolate a foreground object
from the background.

41. Layers
With layers, you can work on one element without
disturbing others. To rearrange elements, simply shift the
order in the Layers palette. You can lock layers to prevent
accidental changes, hide them to get a clear view of the
element you're working on, and link layers to move them
as a group. The Layers palette also makes it easy to apply
instant, editable effects including blending modes,
adjustment layers, and layer effects.
