Making a selection and applying various effects to it is possible with the tools for selection. The Lasso with its Polygonal Lasso, and Magnetic variations gives you greater control over the selection. You can then apply the patch tool to repair the resulting selection, or you can use the Content-Aware Moving tool to move an object or layer without distorting its appearance or altering other elements of the image around it.
Blur softens the pixels and makes them less distinct. This can be beneficial in diminishing glare and creating a dreamy-looking effect. Sharpen is the opposite of Blur, it makes pixels more distinct. It is often used to get rid of wrinkles and other imperfections. Dodge and Burn lighten or darken pixels, while the Sponge tool absorbs or releases color, so it can be useful for improving areas where the contrast is too high. The Move tool lets you move an object or layer by dragging it. You can set a keyboard shortcut to switch between tools and also alter the setting which determines whether or not Photoshop switches between tools when you hold a key while holding down Shift.
