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






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






3. The arrangement of layers in a composition - from front to back - which you can adjust by pressing Ctrl with the bracket keys [ ].






4. A lever-like device that allowed you to control the curve of a path through a smooth point.






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






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






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






8. This advanced compositing funtion is capable of stretching low-contrast areas of an image without affecting high-contrast areas.






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






10. 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 [ ] .






11. An intricate command that lets you edit a selection using a series of slider bars and preview the results of those edits as you work.






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






13. A command that automaticallly corrects the shadows and highlights of each color channel independently.






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






15. Cyan - magenta - and yellow - each of which absorbs light when printed on paper and mixes to form progressively darker colors.






16. This tool lets you measure angles and distances in Photoshop - as well as gives you access to the Straighten button.






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






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






19. 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.






20. The number of pixels that will print in a linear inch or millimeter of page space.






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






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






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






24. The clarity of the image formed by the lens element and captured by the camera - whether digital or film.






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






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






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






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






29. 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.






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






31. This tool darkens pixels as you paint over them.






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






33. The command that defines the RGB or CMYK color spaces employed by Photoshop.






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






35. 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.






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

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

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






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






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






44. Brush-based tools that allow you to paint lines and fill shapes with the foreground color.






45. The degree to which professionally output halftone dots grow when they are absorbed by a sheet of printed paper.
