1. This otherwise fairly useless tool is handy for finessing mask edges by smushing edge pixels in one direction or another.






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






3. Accessible by pressing Ctrl - this tool permits you to move selected pixels - even between images.






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






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






6. 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.






7. 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.






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






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






10. A camera's native format for which no on-board camera processing has occurred.






11. This phenomenon refers to the existence of extra information on layers that extend beyond the visible part of the document.






12. The center of a rotation or another transformation.






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






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






15. A command that saves the size of thumbnails - the position and visibility of panels - and the size of the Bridge window itself.






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






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






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






19. The difference between light and dark colors.






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






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






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






23. An interpolation setting that results in crisp edge transitions - perfect when the details in your image are impeccable and you want to preserve every nuance.






24. Drag a folder that you use on a regular basis to this panel - and you'll never have to burrow through folders and subfolders to find your pictures again.






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






26. 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.






27. A mask created by attaching one layer to another to limit the effects of the first layer to just the layer beneath.






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






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






30. The adjusted amount of horizontal space between two neighboring characters of type.






31. To change the physical dimensions of an image by reducing the number of pixels.






32. 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.






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






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






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






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






37. A tool in Liquify that you use to suck the edges of an area inward.






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






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






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






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






42. A feature of the Refine Edge command that tells Photoshop to adjust the radius based on the smooth or jagged nature of your mask.






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






44. A new feature in CS5 that allows you to access the Bridge's photo organizing features.






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






46. A means for cropping the contents of a group of layers to the boundaries of a layer beneath them.






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






48. Click inside the Preview panel to access this feature - which allows you to zoom an image's detail from 100 to 800 percent.






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






50. Created by pressing Ctrl+G - this collection of layers appears as a folder icon in the Layers panel.
