Which format is best for high quality Web photos?
- A.
TIF
- B.
GIF
- C.
JPEG
- D.
QRL
Correct Answer
C. JPEGExplanation
JPEG is the best format for high-quality web photos because it offers a good balance between file size and image quality. It uses lossy compression, which means that some image data is discarded to reduce file size, but the compression is optimized in a way that minimizes noticeable loss of quality. This makes JPEG ideal for web photos where smaller file sizes are important for faster loading times, while still maintaining a high level of image detail and color accuracy. TIF is a large file format primarily used for print and professional applications, GIF is more suitable for simple graphics and animations, and QRL is not a recognized image format.Rate this question:
-
- 21.
A lossy format means the file does not get rid of data and lose quality.

- A.
JPEG & GIF
- B.
GIF & TIF
- C.
RGB & CMYK
- D.
PNG & JPEG
Correct Answer
B. GIF & TIFExplanation
GIF and TIF are examples of lossless file formats because they both use compression techniques that preserve all the original data and do not result in any loss of quality. JPEG and PNG, on the other hand, are examples of lossy file formats as they use compression techniques that discard some data in order to reduce file size, which can result in a loss of quality. RGB and CMYK, mentioned in the options, are not file formats but color models used in digital imaging.Rate this question:
-
- 23.
Even though a GIF is lossless, it is a compressed format (Reduces files size and does not use much memory).
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a lossless image format, meaning it does not lose any image quality when compressed. However, it is still a compressed format, which means it reduces file size by eliminating unnecessary data. This compression allows GIFs to be easily shared and viewed on the internet without using excessive memory. Therefore, the statement that "Even though a GIF is lossless, it is a compressed format" is true.Rate this question:
-
- 24.
JPEG does not support transparency.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a commonly used image format that is primarily designed for storing and compressing photographic images. Unlike other image formats such as PNG or GIF, JPEG does not have built-in support for transparency. This means that when an image is saved in JPEG format, any transparent areas will be filled with a solid color, typically white. Therefore, the statement "JPEG does not support transparency" is true.Rate this question:
-

Why is it not a good idea to use the element width and height attributes to resize a large photo on a Web page?
- A.
The browser will not download a photo that has been resized.
- B.

- C.

- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. The browser will still have to work hard, because the image being resized is still large.Explanation
Using the width and height attributes of the element to resize a large photo on a web page is not a good idea because the browser will still have to work hard to resize the image, even though it is still large. This means that the browser will have to use additional resources to resize the image, resulting in slower loading times and potentially affecting the performance of the webpage. It is better to resize the image before uploading it to the web page to ensure optimal loading and performance.Rate this question:
