After opening the picture, click on the ‘Camera Tool’ located at the top left hand corner of the screen. This will allow you to adjust the perspective of the photo with a few clicks of your mouse. By clicking and dragging, you can change how close or far away objects are from one another in the photo.
The Quick Selection Tool
The quick selection tool is one of the most important tools in photoshop CS6. This tool will allow you to select any object you want with just a click of your mouse. It’s great for making selections that are hard to do with other tools, like hair or fur.
It’s also helpful when you want to select an entire background and replace it with something else. The best part is, the quick selection tool is incredibly easy to use!

The Lasso Tool is one of the most popular and basic tools in Photoshop that you will need to use in order to edit photos. It is often used for selecting areas with irregular shapes. To select an area with the Lasso Tool, simply click and drag your mouse around the shape you want to select.

Cropping your photo
Cropping a photo is an important step in editing it. The idea is to find the best frame for your photo by cropping anything you don’t want in the photo. This can be as simple as deleting a section of a building or as complicated as removing the background from a picture.
Flipping your photo
The first thing you’ll need to do is flip your photo horizontally by selecting the “Edit” tab and then clicking on “Transform.” You can then rotate your photo so that it is upright and hit “enter.”
