Explaining the setting used in Photoshop

Here is just going to be a list of all the setting that I have learned how to use in Photoshop these few past weeks that we have been learning about photography.
Burn ; This makes things darker, you can use it to either darken eyebrows / hair / eye lashes or make shadows more dominant of if you are making fake shadows if you have Photoshopped a pineapple onto the beach and want a more realistic feel.
dodge; this tool is what I used to brighten or lighten things like eyes and teeth you can find it under the same category as burn.
liquefy; at the top of the bar you'll find a tab called filter and there is where you'll find liquefy, remember to have the right size brush or else you won't see much result. You can use this to either shrunk or enlarge or move around the picture.
healing spot tool brush; this looks like a band aid and you can find it on the side bar. It's used to take about for example a wound or zit or even mole.
clone stamp ; this looks like an old fashioned stamp, once you select this setting you have to hover over the spot that you want to use as your stamp and than click alt click and walla ! You have now a stamp to do as you please with.
gradient map; on the top bar you click image and find the adjustments than proceed until you find gradient map. You can use this to change the color tones on the photo that you are working with as I have done black and white or even colored and others.
quick selection tool ; When I made the micro-humans I used this to select the human and copy it. it selects certain part of the photo that you are working on and either move them around or rescale them de-c

olor and much more it can be found on the side bar and it looks like a paint brush.
transform found on the top bar under edit than transform, you can use this to do things like re-scale things and rotate the picture.
refine edge ; this is to soften the contour of whatever part of the image you selected you can use feather and smooth. you find it on the top bar as well under select , refine edge.
