6. A simple filter that averages the colors of neighboring pixels in sweeps defined by the radius value.






7. A Bridge operation that stands portrait-style photographs upright and writes the results to metadata. You can perform the operation from the keyboard by pressing Ctrl and a bracket key [ ] .

39. Indicators along a gradient preview that designate the colors at either end.






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






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






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






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






44. Expressed as an exponent - this value multiplies the brightness of an image to lighten or darken midtones.






45. The name given to a pair of slider bars in the Layer Style dialog box that let you hide or reveal colors based on their luminosity levels.






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

49. A new feature in CS5 that fills in selections automatically based on what Photoshop understands about surrounding pixels.






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