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






43. A photographic compilation that allows for the combination of luminance data from different exposure values.






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






45. A variety of glossy or matte-finished paper that holds lots of ink - allowing you to print extremely high-resolution images.






46. Commands from the Filter menu or the Adjustments panel that can be applied nondestructively to a smart object.
