| transformation | rotate, scale, skew, distort or perspective changes to an image |
| resolution | the number of pixels in a bitmap image |
| move | the ability to move a selection or entire layer by dragging it |
| rotate | move the image in a circle around the axis or center |
| scale | to resize a layer or a selected object within a layer |
| resolution dependent | designed for a specific print or viewing size |
| contones | continuous tone images are raster graphics made from pixels |
| pixel | picture element that is the smallest physical point of color in a raster graphic |
| rasterize | taking a vector image and converting it into a raster image |
| aliasing | jagged, stair-stepped edges that occur when zooming in on a bitmap; pixelization |
| anti-aliasing | fading jagged pixels in an image to make them appear smoother |
| align | place or arrange in a straight line |
| union | to join or combine shapes into one object |
| subtraction | to subtract a shape or an area from an object |
| intersection | point at which lines or objects overlap |
| exclusion | to omit an object or part of an object within a layer |
| crop | change the size or remove portions of an image |
| masking | makes parts of a layer invisible |
| filter | clean-up or retouch, application of special artistic effects to give a photo a fresh look |
| overlay | image or texture added as an additional layer to a photograph |
| opacity | determines to what degree a layer is revealed beneath another layer; 1% opacity appears nearly transparent |
