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






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






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






4. A means for cropping the contents of a group of layers to the boundaries of a layer beneath them.






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






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






7. A Photoshop effect applied directly to an entire image or a selection.






8. A Photoshop plug-in that allows for the development of unprocessed native image files.






9. The center of a rotation or another transformation.






10. An option that uses the contents of the active layer to cut holes in the layers beneath it.






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






12. A loadable file that describes a specific flavor of RGB or CMYK that is uniquely applicable to a display or print environment.






13. Analogous to the magic wand's Tolerance setting - this feature spreads a Color Range selection out to neighboring color values beyond those specifically chosen.






14. Also known as a mask - this special channel selects white pixels and deselects black ones - allowing you to hide or reveal corresponding parts of your image.






15. A variety of glossy or matte-finished paper that holds lots of ink - allowing you to print extremely high-resolution images.






16. By default centralized and sequestered - deep in the system level of your hard drive - this file stores transient information from the Bridge - such as sort order and high-resolution thumbnails.






17. This command expands a selection to include additional contiguous colors that fall inside the magic wand's Tolerance range.






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






19. When one color pervades an image to a degree that is unpleasant or unrealistic.






20. This tool allows you to paint back information from a previous state saved in the History panel.






21. A command that allows you to turn text into a vector-based shape.






22. A new panel in the Bridge that permits you to see a multi-image PDF document or Web gallery before saving it.






23. This panel lets you scale - rotate - and even flip the source image as you paint it onto the destination - as well as preview the source as a translucent overlay.






24. A command that lets you examine and save the descriptions - credits - and keywords assigned to one image so that you can apply them to others.






25. A method of layer transformation that allows you to move points on a mesh to reshape and stretch an image.






26. A standalone application for opening and managing files that ships with all versions of Photoshop CS5.






27. 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.






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






29. The lightness or darkness of a group of colors.






30. The boundaries of an image - as measured independently of the contents of the image itself.






31. A file that contains the instructions for modifications made to a raw file.






32. An independent environment in Photoshop where you can squish and stretch pixels.






33. A printing process that outputs each of the CMYK color channels to independent plates so that they can be loaded with different inks.






34. New to CS5 - this tool lets you quickly confirm a line that you want to designate as the new vertical or horizontal basis of your image.






35. The portion of the Bridge that contains thumbnail previews.






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






37. A slight softening effect applied most commonly to selection outlines to simulate smooth transitions.






38. A filter with a massive dialog box that allows you to warp - bloat - pinch - stretch - and generally swirl around pixels.






39. Measured in f-stops - this Camera Raw option corrects the brightness of highlights.






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






41. Choose this command to combine the contents of the active layer with the layer below it.






42. Created by pressing Ctrl+G - this collection of layers appears as a folder icon in the Layers panel.

45. Indicators along a gradient preview that designate the colors at either end.






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






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






48. A specific kind of metadata saved by most modern digitial cameras that records the time and date a photograph was captured as well as various camera settings.






49. A Bridge operation that stands portrait-style photographs upright and writes the results to metadata. You can perform the operation from the keyboard by pressing Ctrl and a bracket key [ ] .






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