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






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






43. The appearance of luminance aberrations - caused in HDR photos by an element moving or changing apperance between individual frames.






44. A tool that lets you adjust one region of an image independently of another inside Camera Raw.






45. 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.
