  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Outlines described by vectors that contain no pixel information by can be used to control the pixels within their boundaries.






2. A command that allows you to rotate - resizem and rescale one layer independently of the rest of a composition.






3. A command that automaticallly corrects the shadows and highlights of each color channel independently.






4. The arrangement of layers in a composition - from front to back - which you can adjust by pressing Ctrl with the bracket keys [ ].






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






6. A camera's native format for which no on-board camera processing has occurred.






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






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






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

14. A file that contains the instructions for modifications made to a raw file.






15. 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.

17. Decreases or increases the saturation of an image - depending on the Mode setting in the options bar.






18. A point along a path that joins two segments at a corner.






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






20. By default centralized and sequestered - deep in the system level of your hard drive - this file stores transient information from the Bridge - such as sort order and high-resolution thumbnails.






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






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






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






24. A specific kind of metadata saved by most modern digitial cameras that records the time and date a photograph was captured as well as various camera settings.






25. A new feature in CS5 that allows you to access the Bridge's photo organizing features.






26. An option that turns a PDF document into an all-consuming slide show the moment you open it in the Adobe Reader utility.






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






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






29. A filter that mimics the functionality of Unsharp Mask by retaining areas of high contrast and sending low-contrast areas to gray.






30. The portion of the Bridge that contains thumbnail previews.






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






32. A command that allows you to reinstate a previous Liquify modification.






33. The difference between light and dark colors.






34. Brush-based tools that allow you to paint lines and fill shapes with the foreground color.






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






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






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






38. This command expands a selection to include additional contiguous colors that fall inside the magic wand's Tolerance range.






39. An independent environment in Photoshop where you can squish and stretch pixels.






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






41. This panel lets you scale - rotate - and even flip the source image as you paint it onto the destination - as well as preview the source as a translucent overlay.






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






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






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






45. A Photoshop plug-in that allows for the development of unprocessed native image files.






46. Set points in the puppet warp that serve as fixed points and points of stretching.






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






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






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






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