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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. A set of tools that permit you to clone elements from one portion or state of an image to another.






11. The name given to a pair of slider bars in the Layer Style dialog box that let you hide or reveal colors based on their luminosity levels.






12. 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 [ ] .






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






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






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






16. Expressed as an exponent - this value multiplies the brightness of an image to lighten or darken midtones.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. This advancement on the magic wand tool allows you to select given colors in your image and turn them into a selection outline.






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






28. The act of preparing and rendering an image for mass reproduction - usually as a CMYK document.






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






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






31. A special variety of layer that wraps the original content of an image inside a protective container - allowing pixel modifications to be made without damaging or changing the original contents.






32. A loose collection of features that modify the existing color or luminosity of a pixel without replacing its content.






33. The difference between light and dark colors.






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






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






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






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






38. The best tool for manually adjusting the brightness and increasing the contrast of an image on a color-by-color basis.






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






40. This panel lets you scale - rotate - and even flip the source image as you paint it onto the destination - as well as preview the source as a translucent overlay.






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






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






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






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






45. 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.






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






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






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






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






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