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






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






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






4. The boundaries of an image - as measured independently of the contents of the image itself.






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






6. 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.






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






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






9. A filter with a massive dialog box that allows you to warp - bloat - pinch - stretch - and generally swirl around pixels.






10. A mask applied to protect parts of an image that you want to remain unaffected by the Liquify tools.






11. The center of a rotation or another transformation.






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






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






14. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






28. 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.






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






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






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






32. A command that automaticallly corrects the shadows and highlights of each color channel independently.






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






34. This advanced compositing funtion is capable of stretching low-contrast areas of an image without affecting high-contrast areas.






35. An effect that applies a range of colors based on the lightest and darkest areas of an image.






36. This tool lets you preview the proper angle for a crooked image before you crop it.






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






38. A tool in Liquify that puffs out areas of an image.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






47. A bar graph representation of all brightness values and their distribution in an image.






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






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






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