Across
- 2. Overall lightness or darkness of an image or selected area.
- 4. blending mode that increases contrast by mixing layer tones.
- 7. area behind the subject in an image; can be replaced, cleaned, blurred, during retouching.
- 9. visual angle and sense of depth; often corrected in product and architectural retouching to fix distortions.
- 10. General adjustments made to an image such as exposure, color, and cropping before detailed retouching.
- 12. overall light in an image; can be adjusted or enhanced digitally to match style or fix exposure issues.
- 13. A powerful adjustment tool that lets you modify brightness and color by manipulating a curve on a graph.
- 15. A Photoshop tool used to reshape or subtly adjust parts of an image (e.g., fabric, hair, body, product contours).
- 17. layer placed on top of another to add textures, colors, or effects.
- 19. The difference between dark and light areas; higher contrast increases separation between tones.
- 20. step-by-step process or sequence of tasks used to retouch an image efficiently and consistently.
- 21. selection or mask that defines the exact shape of the subject, usually used to remove or replace backgrounds.
- 22. A tool that copies pixels from one area to another to remove imperfections or duplicate details.
Down
- 1. Removing outer edges of an image to improve composition, aspect ratio, or remove unwanted elements.
- 3. Softening textures or transitions, especially in skin or surfaces, while trying to preserve natural detail.
- 5. draft version of a retouched image sent to the client for review and approval before final delivery.
- 6. MODE The way one layer interacts visually with layers beneath it (e.g., Multiply, Screen, Overlay).
- 8. An adjustment tool that sets the black point, midpoint, and white point to control shadows, midtones, and highlights.
- 11. A softening effect that reduces detail; used for background effects, smoothing, or depth of field simulation.
- 14. intensity of colors; increasing saturation makes colors more vivid, decreasing it makes them more muted.
- 16. Combining multiple photos into one final image using masking, blending, and layering techniques.
- 18. Adjusting hues, saturation, and luminance to fix color casts and achieve accurate or consistent color.
- 21. darkest areas of an image; often adjusted to recover detail or shape the light.
