Tools - Beginner

Are you a beginner with psp? Well this will be a great tutorial for you to start with. If you've done my previous tutorial "Toolbars - Beginner" then you will know how to get to the tools toolbar. This is just a tutorial going over the tools in psp and explaining each one of them.

Tools – Basic PSP Tut

This is my tutorial any similarities is pure coincidence.
I’m giving this brief tutorial for newbies just learning how to do things with PSP.

~Please Do NOT claim this tut as your own.~

This is written in PSP 8 you should get a general idea of PSP all together. Other versions may be a little different.

Here you will find basic meanings of tools and other things you’ll find throughout PSP.

Now before I start with the meanings of each tool, we need to open our tools up so we can find them easily each time around.

Go to View>Toolbars>Tools this will open your tools up off to the side.

[NOTE: In higher versions like psp 9, 10, 11 & 12,
you won't need to open up your tools, but for psp 7 & 8 you do.]
