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






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






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

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






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






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

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

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

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






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

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






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






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






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






42. 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.






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






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