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






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






3. The two ingredients in color: The first is the tint - from red to magenta - and the second is the purity - from gray to vivid.






4. 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.






5. A new feature in Photoshop CS5 that allows you to fine-tune your mask by setting a prescribe radius for edge calculation.






6. 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.






7. A tool in Liquify that you use to suck the edges of an area inward.






8. To change the physical dimensions of an image by reducing the number of pixels.






9. 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.






10. Availabe exclusively inside the Bridge - this command lets you expand one or more images to fill the entire screen as well as zoom and navigate from the keyboard.






11. The best tool for manually adjusting the brightness and increasing the contrast of an image on a color-by-color basis.






12. The difference between light and dark colors.






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






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






15. A photographic compilation that allows for the combination of luminance data from different exposure values.






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






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






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






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






20. 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.






21. Commands from the Filter menu or the Adjustments panel that can be applied nondestructively to a smart object.






22. This feature of the History panel lets you bookmark a specific state in your work - allowing you to restore it later.






23. A column of type created by dragging with the type tool - useful for setting long sentences or entire paragraphs.






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






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






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






27. A filter that mimics the functionality of Unsharp Mask by retaining areas of high contrast and sending low-contrast areas to gray.






28. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






34. A tool that lets you adjust one region of an image independently of another inside Camera Raw.






35. This selection tool can actually sense the edge of an object and automatically trace it.






36. A loose collection of features that modify the existing color or luminosity of a pixel without replacing its content.






37. A tool in Liquify that allows you to spin an area around a center point.






38. The spot from which the healing brush samples information when repairing a dlaw in an image.






39. A succession of duplicated objects - scaled - rotated - and otherwise transformed in equal increments.






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






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






42. The act of preparing and rendering an image for mass reproduction - usually as a CMYK document.






43. Use this tool to select free-form - straight-sided areas in an image.






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






45. This command lets you darken highlights and lighten shadows - just what you need when correcting flash photos.






46. A tool in Liquify that puffs out areas of an image.






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






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






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






50. The number of digits required to express a single pixel - which in turn determines the number of colors in an image.
