# 5. Working with PhotoLine

## 5.1 Introduction

PhotoLine offers countless functions for editing images. Therefore, a beginner in image editing may have difficulties to always find the appropriate tool for a given task. In order to ease the use there are several built-in supporting tools.

Move the mouse over an icon and hold it still. After a while a small Rectangle with a description of the icon will appear.

At the same time a more explicit description is shown in the status bar. On Windows the status bar is at the bottom of the main windows, on macOS it is at the bottom of the document windows. The status bar also offers information about the menu entries.

You can call the PhotoLine online help by placing the mouse over a function and pressing "F1" or the Help-key (with previous Mac models), too. On macOS you can also use the menu command "Help/Context Help".

If those information are not sufficient, on Windows the icon with the help mouse cursor can be selected. After that the mouse cursor has got an additional question mark . If you click on an icon or a menu entry now, you get the corresponding help text.
