[Tool in use identification]

Thank you MEB.   Like to use shortcuts and  never thought to look there    

[Tool in use identification]

How do you identify which tool is in use especially if the shortcut has several tools.  eg.J gives Healing Brush   but how to tell if one is in  Patch   Red Eye tool or in-painting?   the choices at the bottom left do give choices but do not seem to indicate the tool one is in.   Obviously missing something here.  please educate !

Understand what you  are saying and agree    The MM Pic I showed is but a small portion of the full MM  document which I put on to illustrate a method of learning that I find useful   I have branches for various  particular cases e.g. under  Landscape image I have noted some of the points raised by James Ritson in the workbook.

Reason for raising this Post was to see how others went about the learning process and would welcomely thoughts

Re It still depends entirely on what you want to do.  Indeed that is why the MMad says Adjustments Various.    That would be where I would consider what adjustments were necessary.   Format at that time wold be as camera.   For me  that wold be jpeg as seldom use Raw now.

Yes Thank you Elfrred re resources - Did reply but I guess not properly      I did not realise the File had downloaded to my download folder 

Re the Workflow you are, of course correct as it is Avery broad question as it depends on the pic - landscape,group photo, single person tc etc

However I wondered if there was any general  guidance.     I try to learn a new program by using a mind Map   - this sort of thing -  if it makes sense to you
