The swap colors button is circled and marked, 2. The painting tools use the foreground color, so if you want to use white instead of black, click the swap colors button and white will become the foreground color. Click again to go back to black. If some color other than the default was in your color boxes, first click the default colors button which is the small black and white square below the foreground-background boxes.
     I have drawn a marquee with the zoom tool, numbered 3 above. As soon as I release the mouse button, that area will be magnified to fill the screen. If you want to go back to 100 % magnification, double-click the zoom tool. If you want the picture to fill the screen double-click the hand tool.
