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






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






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

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






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






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






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

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






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






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






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






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