Digital imaging terms
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Quick Selection Tool | A selection method that allows you to paint an area of an image, and the tool automatically finds the edges. |
| Layer | These are like stacked, transparent sheets of glass on which you can create images. You can see through the transparent areas of a layer to the layers below. You can work on each layer independently. |
| Layer Group | A tool to organize layers into a logical order to reduce clutter in the Layers panel. |
| Filters | Action that enhance or modify an image with special effects ( Blur, sharpen, artistic, distort, noise, stylize, texture, etc.). |
| Liquify Filter | A filter that causes the image to appear melted by pushing, pulling, rotating, reflecting, puckering or bloating pixels in the image. |
| Vanishing Point Filter | A filter that effectively edits images that have perspective planes (rectangular surfaces that seem to get smaller as they approach the horizon). |
| Photomerge | A command that automatically combines several photographs into one continuous, panoramic image by using layers and masking. |
| High Dynamic Range (HDR) | A command that combines photos of different exposure to create a composite with a much larger range of tonal detail than can be captured in one photo. |
| Auto Enhance | An option for the Quick Selection tool that creates better quality selections, with edges that are truer to the object. |
| Elliptical Marquee tool | Select ovals or perfect circles |
| Zoom Tool Shortcut | Press "Z" to activate this tool. |
| Tolerance | Determines the similarity or difference of pixels selected. |
| Anti-aliasing | This smooths the jagged edges of a selection by softening the color transition between edge pixels and background pixels. |
| Refine Edge | Option to soften the edges of a selection by adjusting such options as smooth, feather and decontaminate colors. |
| Blending | A series of options for adjusting the way colors appear when one layer overlays another layer. |
| Feathering | A command that softens or blurs edges by building a transition boundary between a selection and its surrounding pixels. |
| Watermark | A partly visible message that marks the image as belonging to you. |
| Lasso Tool | This tool makes freehand selections. |
| Polygonal Lasso tool | This tool makes straight-edge selections. |
| Magnetic Lasso Tool | Make freehand selections of areas with high-contrast edges. When you draw with this tool, the selection border automatically snaps to the edge between areas of contrast. |
| Resolution | Refers to the number of pixels that describe an image and establish its detail, measured in pixels per inch (ppi). |
| Copy | A command that copies the selected area on the active layer. |
| Paste | A command that pastes a cut or copied selection into another part of the image or into another image as a new layer. |
| Clipping Mask | An object or group whose shape masks other artwork so that only areas that lie within the shape are visible. |
| Shape Layer | A vector layer that contains either a shape (including fill and stroke), pixels, or a path. |
| Smart Object | Vector objects that you can place and edit in Photoshop without a loss of quality regardless of how often you scale, rotate, skew, or otherwise transform it. |
| Contiguous | Selects only adjacent or touching areas that use the same color. |
| Gradient Map | A filter effect that applies a range of colors based on the lightest and darkest areas of an image. |
| Non-destructive Editing | Using masks and layer so the original image(s) data is not lost. |
| Adjustment Layers | Applies color and tonal adjustments to your image, layer or layer group without permanently changing the pixel values. |
| Blending Modes | Lighten, darken, color dodge, hue, blends only apply where layers overlap. |
| Retouching Tools | Spot Healing Brush tool, Red Eye tool, Patch tool, Content-Aware Move tool, Smart Sharpen, Camera Shake Reduction. |

| Constrained Proportions | The option in the image size dialogue box, represented by a chain icon, that indicates a fixed width/height ration hen icon is active. |
| Color Correction | A general term the type of editing to correct color or contrast (Hue/Saturation, levels, curves, selective color, and desaturate). |
| Crop | The process of removing portions of an image to create focus or strengthen the composition. |
| Transform | the tool used to scale, rotate, skew, distort, apply perspective or warp an image or layer. |
| Opacity | A layer's degree of transparency; you set layer opacity through the layer style dialogue box. |
| Tonal Range | The range of brightness levels in an image from the darkest to the lightest. |
| Stacking Order | The arrangement of layers top to bottom in the layers panel. |
| Resampling | Changing the total number of pixels in an image. |
| Layer Filters | A tool in the layers panel that allows the user to sort by kind of layer (for example, text layer, etc.) |
