Adobe Illustrator
use to select portions of an image to edit. While each of these tools are for selection, they differ in how they go about selecting, and their levels of sophistication
vary.
Selecting Tool
lets you select, move, or modify specific points or path segments in a path or a shape. Allows a user to select
individual points of any object.
Direct Selection Tool
lets you select objects, anchor
points, or path segments by dragging along all or parts of the object.
Lasso Tool
creates a selection based on the shift in brightness ranges within an image. If there is a definable shift in the brightness of the pixels, it can be a very powerful tool for the selection of odd-shaped areas.
Magic Wand Tool
a path creator. You can create
smooth path that you can store with a brush or turn to selection. This tool is effective for designing,
selecting smooth surfaces, or layout.
Pen Tool
simplifies path creation and
makes drawing easy and intuitive. This tool enables
you to create, toggle, edit, add, or remove smooth or
corner points.
Curvature Tool
allows you to draw straight paths with
a few mouse clicks. You can also select it by
pressing the \ key.
Line Segment Tool
inarguably one of the most important tools within Adobe Illustrator. With it, you
can type out lines of horizontal text or align text to follow a vector path, to name just a few functions.
Type Tool
one of the tools found in the
tools palette. It works in a similar way to the pencil tool, in that you click and drag the path. You can even apply the brush stroke to a pre-determined path.
Paintbrush Tool
lets you create rectangular and
square shapes in your artwork. Click the Rectangle tool or press M to select it. Drag on the artboard to draw a rectangle.
Rectangular Tool
essentially a brush. You can
change the size, hardness and spacing, just like any other brush. It’s also possible for you to change the mode from Brush to Pencil or Block. Instead of painting on the pixels of your image, however, the
Eraser deletes the unwanted pixels.
Eraser Tool
is used for drawing free path lines,
just as if you are using an actual pencil to draw on the paper. It offers you the freedom to draw whatever you want digitally but still keeps a little bit
of realistic taste.
Pencil Tool
allows you to easily resize in Illustrator. lets you enlarge or reduce objects and shapes.
Scale Tool
To rotate the object around its center point, drag in a circular motion anywhere in the document window.
