    Pencil Tool

                     Pencil Tool creates freeform lines like a normal pencil and uses the foreground colour. It is like a virtual
                     pencil that you can use to create designs or lines with options to change the colour, opacity, intensity
                     and pencil diameter. It also works with various modes to enhance the outlook of your project and
                     create unique design artworks that look like hand-drawn images. Follow the below steps to use the
                     Pencil Tool:

                     Step 2:   Click and hold the left mouse button pressed on the Brush Tool in the Tools panel. A flyout
                             menu opens.

                          Color Replacement Tool

                     Color  Replacement Tool replaces  the original  colour of an image  (through sampling)  with the
                     foreground colour. By  specifying  different sampling methods,  limits  and tolerance  settings  in the
                     Options bar, you can control the range of colours that Photoshop replaces. The mouse pointer will
                     change into a circle with a small plus sign ‘+’ in the centre called crosshair. Follow the below steps to
                     use the Color Replacement Tool:
                     Step 1:   Open an image in which you want to change the colour of an object. For example, the red
                             apple.
                     Step 2:  Click on the Color Replacement Tool from the flyout menu.

                     Step 3:  Select green as foreground color.
                     Step 4:  Select the desired brush tip, size, hardness, modes, limits, etc., from the Options bar.

                     Step 5:   Move the crosshair over the object (red apple) in the image and click. As soon as you click,
                             Photoshop samples the object’s colour (red) under the crosshair. Now, it knows which colour
                             to replace. The colour under crosshair changes into green (foreground colour).
                     Step 6:   Click  and  drag  the  mouse  button  over the
                             remaining areas to change the rest of the colour.
                             Do not move the crosshair away from the object.
                             Otherwise, it will sample the colour of the area
                             outside your object and will start changing it to
                             foreground colour as well. If you do so by mistake,       Using Color Replacement Tool
                             you can just undo.
                     Sampling Continuous replaces all the colour with the foreground colour. Sampling Once changes
                     colour which you first click. Sampling Background Swatch replaces the colour of the object with
                     the background colour. You can select your desired blend mode from Color, Hue, Saturation and
                     Luminosity.
