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






39. 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.






40. An intricate command that lets you edit a selection using a series of slider bars and preview the results of those edits as you work.






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






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

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






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






50. A command used to assign document names - sequence numbers - and more to multiple image files at a time.
