This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A tool in Liquify that you use to suck the edges of an area inward.






2. This tool allows you to paint back information from a previous state saved in the History panel.






3. 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.






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






5. A single image that represents a view wider than a traditional camera lens can capture.






6. A printing process that outputs each of the CMYK color channels to independent plates so that they can be loaded with different inks.






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






8. The command that defines the RGB or CMYK color spaces employed by Photoshop.






9. Photoshop's tool that allows you to align and blend multiple frames.






10. A Photoshop command that allows you to create masks based on a mathematical comparison of the luminance values in two of the color channels.






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






12. Operations such as Image Size and the Rotate Canvas commands that affect an entire image - including any and all layers






13. 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.






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






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






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






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






18. Outlines described by vectors that contain no pixel information by can be used to control the pixels within their boundaries.






19. A filter that mimics the functionality of Unsharp Mask by retaining areas of high contrast and sending low-contrast areas to gray.






20. A slight softening effect applied most commonly to selection outlines to simulate smooth transitions.






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






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






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






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






25. A command that allows you to rotate - resizem and rescale one layer independently of the rest of a composition.






26. When working with this function - painting with black temporarily erases the pixels on a layer - painting with white makes the pixels visible again.






27. A modification to an image that permenantly changes the pixels to which it's applied.






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






29. A varied set of Photoshop commands that apply effects to an entire image.






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






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






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






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






34. Effects like drop shadows and strokes that can be applied to specific parts of an image only.






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






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






37. Adjusting for the predominant color of neutral white - usually off as the result of an uncorrected light source.






38. New to CS5 - this tool lets you quickly confirm a line that you want to designate as the new vertical or horizontal basis of your image.






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






40. A new feature in Photoshop CS5 that allows you to fine-tune your mask by setting a prescribe radius for edge calculation.






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






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






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






44. A set of selection tools that allow you to draw simple geometric shapes.






45. The lightness or darkness of a group of colors.






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






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






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






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






50. A succession of duplicated objects - scaled - rotated - and otherwise transformed in equal increments.
