4. The degree to which professionally output halftone dots grow when they are absorbed by a sheet of printed paper.






5. The most popular method for transferring dark pixels from the Cyan - Magenta - and Yellow channels to the Black channel - thus producing rich - volumetric shadows.






6. 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.

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






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






13. 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.






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






15. 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.






16. The number of pixels that will print in a linear inch or millimeter of page space.






17. A column of type created by dragging with the type tool - useful for setting long sentences or entire paragraphs.

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






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






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

33. 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.






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






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






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






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






38. A tool in Liquify that allows you to spin an area around a center point.






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






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






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






42. An interpolation setting that results in crisp edge transitions - perfect when the details in your image are impeccable and you want to preserve every nuance.
