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






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






3. Decreases or increases the saturation of an image - depending on the Mode setting in the options bar.






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






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






6. 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.






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






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






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






10. A point along a path that joins two segments at a corner.






11. A special kind of state in the History panel that remains available well after twenty operations.






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






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






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






15. The relationship between the width and the height of an image.






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






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






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






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






20. An effect that applies a range of colors based on the lightest and darkest areas of an image.






21. 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.






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






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






24. An anchor point along a path that has two control handles to allow for creating a continuous - even arc.

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






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

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






39. The state of a layered composition at a certain point in time - replete with visibility - vertical and horizontal positioning - blending options - and layer styles.






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






41. The best means for calculating text spacing - which permits Photoshop to move a character by a fraction of a pixel.






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






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






44. Font family - type style - size - leading - alignment - and a wealth of other options for modifying the appearance of live text.
