35. A modification to an image that permenantly changes the pixels to which it's applied.






36. An option that turns a PDF document into an all-consuming slide show the moment you open it in the Adobe Reader utility.






37. Set points in the puppet warp that serve as fixed points and points of stretching.






38. This otherwise fairly useless tool is handy for finessing mask edges by smushing edge pixels in one direction or another.






39. A command that allows you to rotate - resizem and rescale one layer independently of the rest of a composition.






40. The adjusted amount of horizontal space between two neighboring characters of type.






41. The output that occurs before a document is loaded onto a professional printing press for mass reproduction.
