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






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






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






41. 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.






42. A setting in the options bar that determines how many colors the magic wand selects at a time - as measured in luminosity values.






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






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






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






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