Photoshop Beginner Tools

 Move Tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cQT1ZgvgGI (1:00-1:20)

     This tool allows you to move an unlocked layer around. This tool is very straightforward and easy to use. It will be very helpful when having multiple layers so I can adjust them to where I want them. It can come in handy as well if the layers are not lined up the way you envisioned or could be cool to create a ripple effect with the layers. He says it is probably the most used tool in photoshop so I assume I will be using it very often.

Artboard Tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cQT1ZgvgGI (1:25-2:15)

     This tool allows you to crop your main image into one smaller artboard. This is perfect for cutting out unwanted blank spots or details in you work. What is cool about this tool is that you can continue to create as many artboards as you want on one canvas. This gives your art a collage kind of look and I think I could use it to use the same picture on each artboard but change the color schemes.

Elliptical Marquee Tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cQT1ZgvgGI (3:10-3:40)

     This is a selection tool in the shape of a circle. It can be used to cut out a circle of your image. You can copy and paste this cut-out onto a second layer and only have the part of the image that you selected, both of which can look great. I would use this tool to combine multiple images by creating multiple layers with holes so each of them are visible.
