****'''Brightness and Contrast''' adjusts the brightness of the image and the contrasts between the dark and lights.
****'''Colorize'''
+
****'''Hue and Saturation''' adjusts the hue, saturation and color weights on an active layer or selected area. Generally a pure color saturation that doesn't change the image's mode unlike '''Colorize'''
****'''Hue and Saturation'''
+
****'''Colorize''' renders the active layer or selected area into a grayscale before applying a color over it so it appears more like a colored glass. Gives a sepia like effect to images.
****'''Color Balance'''
+
****'''Color Balance''' subtly adjusts the color balance in an active layer or selected area, making it useful for correcting colors in digital photos.
 
**'''Select tool''': There are 4 types of selection tools in the toolkit: '''Rectangular''', '''Elliptical''', '''Free''' and '''Fuzzy'''.

***Rectangular(Dotted rectangle icon) is a normal selection type along the lines of using the select tool in something like Paint.

***'''Rectangular'''(Dotted rectangle icon) is a normal selection type along the lines of using the select tool in something like Paint.
***Elliptical(Dotted circle icon) is also like a normal selection type except for the fact that it selects in a circular shape rather than a rectangular shape.

***Free Select Tool(Lasso icon) or otherwise known as a 'Lasso' select functions differently. The user sets an origin point on the image and then continue to put down points along the image until they return back to the origin point. Everything within the selected points will be selected, making this select tool the best for when you need precision.

***Fuzzy(Wand Icon), the last selection tool functions more like a quick Free Select tool where you just click on where you want to select and it'll select until it hits the borders of the color. It works the best with images that don't have too much anti aliasing and aren't blurry, as it may cause the Fuzzy tool to not select some sections of an image.
