3. The lightness or darkness of a group of colors.






4. A standalone application for opening and managing files that ships with all versions of Photoshop CS5.






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






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

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






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






11. Accessible by pressing Ctrl - this tool permits you to move selected pixels - even between images.

27. A tool that allows you to distort a subject by changing the relationship between set points.






28. 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.

31. The spot from which the healing brush samples information when repairing a dlaw in an image.






32. A feature of the Refine Edge command that tells Photoshop to adjust the radius based on the smooth or jagged nature of your mask.






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