TIFF images can be compressed losslessly. tint A variation of a color produced by adding white, thus decreasing saturation and increasing lightness. tolerance A measure of the precision with which certain tools work. The tolerance describes the difference in value between adjacent pixels affected by a tool. If the tolerance is high, many more pixels are affected or selected than if the tolerance is low. tonal correction An adjustment made in the tones of an image: shadows, highlights, or midtones. You can adjust highlight and shadow values to increase the tonal range, adjust the brightness of the midtones without affecting shadow and highlight values, and so on. transform To scale, shrink, enlarge, skew, distort, rotate, or change the perspective of a layer, selection, or shape. transform bounding box The box that surrounds the portion of an image you are changing with a transform command. transition An effect added between two photos, for instance in a slide show, that affects the visual presentation of how one photo changes to the other. For example, you can add a Fade transition between photos to make one photo fade out of view as the next photo fades into view. transparency In digital photography, the functionality that supports transparent areas in an image or image layer. Certain image formats do not support transparency. trim To remove pixels from an image by using the Trim command in Photoshop. Photoshop Elements doesn't have a Trim command.
