Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 12:28 pm

When you are using Photoshop, there are a number of tools that you can use in order to edit your photos. However, there may be times when you want to deselect a tool that you are no longer using. Here is how you can do that:

1. First, you will need to make sure that the layer that you want to deselect is selected. You can do this by clicking on the layer in the Layers panel.

2. Next, you will need to click on the icon for the tool that you want to deselect in the toolbar. For example, if you want to deselect the Move tool, you would click on the icon for that tool.

3. Finally, you will need to click on the “Deselect” option in the pop-up menu that appears. This will deselect the tool that you had previously selected.

Conclusion:

So, next time you are done using a tool in Photoshop and want to switch to something else, remember to deselect it first! Just follow the steps outlined above and you’ll be good to go.

PRO TIP: If you are working in Photoshop and want to deselect a tool, be sure to do so carefully. If you simply click on another tool, you may inadvertently select it and then have to start all over again.
