images, text and vector graphics. They can be rearranged and grouped according to user

needs.

Selections. This refers to regions in an image that will be affected by the various tools. Once you have selected an area, you can apply a tool

to it, such as paintbrush, or perform an operation such as copy or crop. Selections can be any shape and size; the shape depends on

which selection tool you are working with.

Color mode. Color mode refers to the types of colors you will be using in your image. CMYK and RGB are the most important of these modes to be

familiar with. CMYK is the setting for images that will be printed to

paper. The letters refer to the four channels of color used to create every color available: cyan, magenta,

yellow and black. RGB refers to the three channel color mode suitable for

images to be viewed on the web: red, green and blue.
