Just for Fun!
Would love to hear what your favorite tool in the programs you use is… and your least used tool. Is there a specific tool that you lean towards using cause you like how it works? Is there one that you never quite got and therefore never use it?
We’re interested in seeing where this conversation takes us!
My favorite is for sure the shape builder, was a game changer once I discovered it 
Shape builder by far the best tool!
Least favorite??? 
Wouldn’t know, coz I am not using… 
I agree about the shape builder tool- def my go to! least fav would be the slice tool - never use it or the curvature tool, I just draw curves if I need one…
In After Effects my fav tool is the value/speed graphs. Just a little pull here and there and the entire animation is with purpose. My least fav tool… clone tool. don’t find much of a need for it in AE, yes it clones, but never stays in the correct space and its easier for me to find another way to cover up wtvr it is!
In Photoshop, the generative expand tool as become my favorite, making it easy peasy to seamlessy extend a background! I also love the quick selection tool - I find it works really well to do an initial selection, which is helpful. In terms a tool I never use - I never quite figured out the vector tools, and I honestly never needed to use them.
except for Text @michalpransky03 you must be using that vector tool!!
I hardly use the shape builder tool, Can you give me examples of when you use it?
In Illustrator, definitely the shape builder tool - I use it in almost every project.
Photoshop, the brush tool has so many uses - patterns, masks, illustrating…
The object selection tool is fantastic - gives perfect selections for parts of an image.
And generative fill - totally slashes photo editing time!
It’s like an advanced version of the pathfinder tool - you can do so much more with it though. Target strokes that you want to remove etc, you have to play around with it
Right generative fill is most definitely making life easier.
Using it a lot.
@chavi you’re missing out on all the fun We’ll have to make you a quick runthrough of how helpful the shape builder is
Once I got the hang of the graphs I started loving them too! What’s the clone tool though…? Feel like I never heard of it before for AE
Please!! cant wait to try it out, i cant believe I never use it.
The generative fill tool definitely wins the reward.
I love the generative expand tool- make my life so much easier!
The remove tool in photoshop is also amazing
Right! 
But honestly, rarely. I usually am only working with photos in photoshop, and any text is done in the actual file in Indesign or Illustrator
my favourite tools are the selection tools, i use them the most (besides for brushes).
i don’t like the zoom tool, any time i mistakenly lean on the keyboard (on ‘z’) it changes which tool i’m using.
is there a way to stop this from happening?
you can try changing your shortcuts in the edit menu
