5. A command that allows you to turn text into a vector-based shape.






6. 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.






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

26. Digital photographs and scanned artwork composed exclusively of colored pixels.






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

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






45. 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.






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






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






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