The raster editor window uses the active drawing tool to modify the current image. The active tool receives commands given by the keyboard or using left mouse button (or tablet). The tool is responsible for displaying the preview of the outcome until the current action is finished (applied or canceled).
Drawing tools make use of fill styles.
Most drawing tools are activated by the press left mouse button->move the mouse->release the button sequence. In some cases, only the last of the 3 actions is important.
Most drawing tools display control handles after the initial definition of the drawn shape and the control handles can be used to adjust the tool's function. There may be several classes of control handles, differentiated by color. Some control handles belong to fill styles (usually having purple color) and can be used to fine-tune gradients.
The basic method for selecting a tool is to click its icon in the toolbar above the raster editor. This toolbar holds the frequently used tools, but not all available tools.
These tools can be used to paint basic shapes.
Tools focused on retouching of photos.
Meta-tools modify behavior of other drawing tools.
Due to the plug-in nature of the tools and the existence of meta-tools, the total number of available tools is much higher. Meta-tools like ERASER or SELECT can be combined with ordinary tools yielding dozens of possible combinations (retouching with pencil, selecting with brush, ellipse, or polygon, etc.). Defining your own tools is an advanced topic, but it increases the power of the application considerably, for example when creating beveled text, selecting with text tool is a fundamental part of the process.
Probably the easiest way of accessing the uncommon tools is by using the toolbar with custom presets. The custom presets not only allows you to add the specialized tools, but also allows remembering and activating selected drawing modes in one click.
Many drawing tools support temporary switch to the dropper tool to change current color by holding down the CTRL key.
There are a lot of ways how to finish and apply a tool:
Selection can be canceled by:

I'll design that article soon. Alternately, you can use 00FFFFFF (completely transparent) as the fill color of the Pencil tool as a "quick eraser".

An option to add an Outline is below the Fill section.

Add the text to your image, then go to Effect > Drop Shadow... and change the color of the shadow in question.
