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






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






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

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






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

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






22. 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 [ ] .






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






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






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






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






27. A special kind of text layer in which text is attached to a path outline to create a line of type that flows along a curve.






28. 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.






29. This dialog box bends and distorts live text to create wavy - bulging - and perspective effects.

36. A tool that allows you to distort a subject by changing the relationship between set points.






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






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






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






40. An option that turns a PDF document into an all-consuming slide show the moment you open it in the Adobe Reader utility.






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






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

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

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