Photo shop questions

ok i am taking a long shot by doing this but any ways i am using a tut from here and it is telling me to go to the “Polygon Lasso” from the toolbar. i only see the plain old lasso tool. where can i go to get this?

thanks in advance=)

click and hold down on the lasso tool and it will give a lil pop up with more lasso tools. =)

ok i got past that… now it says to use the air brush. and i don’t know where to find it.

from tut-
“Now we need to use my favorite tool, the airbrush.
The first step I took was to Select the tentacle shape (HOLD CTRL and click on the layer) now create a new layer above the tentacle one. Using the airbrush at about a size of 200-300 blurred 100% paint around the edges of the tentacle, to give it a beveled effect. You may want to mess with the layers opacity to get this to look how you like it. Refer to my image to the left if you need to. Its starting to look cool now, well soon.”

Which version of photoshop do you have? In version 6, the airbrush tool should be on your tool palette.

In version 7, they combined the airbrush tool with the brush tool so just select the brush tool, then at the top where it says brush, click on the lil drop down arrow and you’ll be able to selec the desired brush, the blurry looking ones are the airbrushes to choose from.

thanks:)
