2. The tool box contains all the tools available for working with images. For more information on the available tools, see Tools.
3. The colour palette allows you to choose colours that are used by various tools. For more information, see Using the colour palette.
4. The options palette displays extra options for the currently selected tool, if any are available.
5. The layers palette provides access to all the layers in an image. For more information, see Working with layers.
