In this tutorial I am going to explain the tools that are in the tools palette and what their basic purpose is. I will not get into too much detail as to what you can do with each tool, because that can be quite in depth with most of them. Instead, what I will tell you is just the basic explanation of what the tool does, and I will leave more in-depth discussions of the individual tools for later tutorials. I will also tell you the shortcut keys for each of the tools. As you first get acquainted with the program you do not necessarily need to remember each of the shortcuts, but as you become more familiar, it will be a good idea to remember and use the shortcuts for the tools you use most often. Shortcuts help speed the creative process along, and in turn will help you be more productive.
