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






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






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






4. A set of dotted lines that indicate the borders of a selected region - also known as "marching ants".






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






6. Use this tool to select free-form - straight-sided areas in an image.






7. An image that is made up of composite pieces that can be manipulated independently.






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






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






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






11. The center of a rotation or another transformation.






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






13. Decreases or increases the saturation of an image - depending on the Mode setting in the options bar.






14. Measured in f-stops - this Camera Raw option corrects the brightness of highlights.






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






16. 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.






17. When one color pervades an image to a degree that is unpleasant or unrealistic.






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






19. 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.






20. A simple filter that averages the colors of neighboring pixels in sweeps defined by the radius value.






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






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






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






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






25. The three brightness ranges that you can edit independently using the Color Balance adn Levels commands.






26. This tool darkens pixels as you paint over them.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. Cyan - magenta - and yellow - each of which absorbs light when printed on paper and mixes to form progressively darker colors.






38. This tool lets you measure angles and distances in Photoshop - as well as gives you access to the Straighten button.






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






40. 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.






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






42. This feature of the History panel lets you bookmark a specific state in your work - allowing you to restore it later.






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






44. This numerical value lets you adjust the sharpness of points in a star drawn with the polygon tool.






45. A file that contains the instructions for modifications made to a raw file.






46. Availabe exclusively inside the Bridge - this command lets you expand one or more images to fill the entire screen as well as zoom and navigate from the keyboard.






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






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






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






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