This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A single image that represents a view wider than a traditional camera lens can capture.






2. This dialog box bends and distorts live text to create wavy - bulging - and perspective effects.






3. The thickness of the effect applied by a filter - often expressed as a softly tapering halo.






4. An image that is made up of composite pieces that can be manipulated independently.






5. This tool lightens portions of an image as you paint - which makes it great for bringing out naturally shaded areas such as eyes.






6. The three brightness ranges that you can edit independently using the Color Balance adn Levels commands.






7. The one command that lets you pinpoint a specific color in an image and make it lighter or darker; best suited to reducing contrast.






8. A Photoshop command that allows you to create masks based on a mathematical comparison of the luminance values in two of the color channels.






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






10. An independent grayscale image that Photoshop colorizes and mixes with other such images to produce a full-color composite.






11. A new feature in CS5 that fills in selections automatically based on what Photoshop understands about surrounding pixels.






12. This tool lets you preview the proper angle for a crooked image before you crop it.






13. A varied set of Photoshop commands that apply effects to an entire image.






14. Removing softness in a photograph by increasing edge contrast.






15. A text layer that has no maximum column width and aligns to the point at which you clicked with the type tool.

24. An option that spaces all lines of type in a selected layer by similar amounts to give the layer a more even - pleasing appearance.






25. A special variety of layer that wraps the original content of an image inside a protective container - allowing pixel modifications to be made without damaging or changing the original contents.






26. The appearance of luminance aberrations - caused in HDR photos by an element moving or changing apperance between individual frames.






27. Mathematically defined text and shapes that can be scaled or otherwise transformed without any degradation in quality.






28. This viewing mode allows you to quickly see the mask created by a selection and assess the edges automatically.






29. Outlines described by vectors that contain no pixel information by can be used to control the pixels within their boundaries.






30. This advancement on the magic wand tool allows you to select given colors in your image and turn them into a selection outline.






31. Drag a folder that you use on a regular basis to this panel - and you'll never have to burrow through folders and subfolders to find your pictures again.

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






38. A command that saves the size of thumbnails - the position and visibility of panels - and the size of the Bridge window itself.






39. Effects like drop shadows and strokes that can be applied to specific parts of an image only.






40. When working with this function - painting with black temporarily erases the pixels on a layer - painting with white makes the pixels visible again.






41. Any information above and beyond the core image data - including the date the image was last saved - the copyright holder - and how the image was captured.






42. This numerical value lets you adjust the sharpness of points in a star drawn with the polygon tool.






43. An interpolation setting that results in crisp edge transitions - perfect when the details in your image are impeccable and you want to preserve every nuance.






44. Part of a path that is unaffected by control handles and is thus a direct path between two points.






45. A command that allows you to reinstate a previous Liquify modification.






46. This command lets you scale an image on the page - determine the paper orientation - and adjust the color management settings before printing an image.






47. A mask created by attaching one layer to another to limit the effects of the first layer to just the layer beneath.






48. A bar graph representation of all brightness values and their distribution in an image.






49. Expressed as an exponent - this value multiplies the brightness of an image to lighten or darken midtones.






50. The most popular method for transferring dark pixels from the Cyan - Magenta - and Yellow channels to the Black channel - thus producing rich - volumetric shadows.
