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






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






3. Availabe exclusively inside the Bridge - this command lets you expand one or more images to fill the entire screen as well as zoom and navigate from the keyboard.






4. A command that lets you examine and save the descriptions - credits - and keywords assigned to one image so that you can apply them to others.






5. A command used to assign document names - sequence numbers - and more to multiple image files at a time.






6. A modification to an image that permenantly changes the pixels to which it's applied.






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






8. This numerical value lets you adjust the sharpness of points in a star drawn with the polygon tool.






9. A means of cutting away the extraneous portions of an image to focus the viewer's attention on the subject of the photo.






10. An independent grayscale image that Photoshop colorizes and mixes with other such images to produce a full-color composite.






11. The boundaries of an image - as measured independently of the contents of the image itself.






12. When working with this function - painting with black temporarily erases the pixels on a layer - painting with white makes the pixels visible again.






13. Click with this tool to select regions of color inside an image.






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






15. A printing process that outputs each of the CMYK color channels to independent plates so that they can be loaded with different inks.






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






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






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






19. A lever-like device that allowed you to control the curve of a path through a smooth point.






20. A loose collection of features that modify the existing color or luminosity of a pixel without replacing its content.






21. 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. This command lets you darken highlights and lighten shadows - just what you need when correcting flash photos.






23. An image that is made up of composite pieces that can be manipulated independently.






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






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






26. Photoshop's tool that allows you to align and blend multiple frames.






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






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






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






30. The one command that lets you pinpoint a specific color in an image and make it lighter or darker; best suited to reducing contrast.






31. This tool darkens pixels as you paint over them.






32. This advanced compositing funtion is capable of stretching low-contrast areas of an image without affecting high-contrast areas.






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






34. The number of digits required to express a single pixel - which in turn determines the number of colors in an image.






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






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






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






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






39. Outlines described by vectors that contain no pixel information by can be used to control the pixels within their boundaries.






40. A method of layer transformation that allows you to move points on a mesh to reshape and stretch an image.






41. This tool lets you measure angles and distances in Photoshop - as well as gives you access to the Straighten button.






42. Drag a folder that you use on a regular basis to this panel - and you'll never have to burrow through folders and subfolders to find your pictures again.






43. A text layer that has no maximum column width and aligns to the point at which you clicked with the type tool.






44. 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.






45. Part of a path that is unaffected by control handles and is thus a direct path between two points.






46. Operations such as Image Size and the Rotate Canvas commands that affect an entire image - including any and all layers






47. The best means for calculating text spacing - which permits Photoshop to move a character by a fraction of a pixel.






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






49. The adjusted amount of horizontal space between two neighboring characters of type.






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