The ______________ tool is used as a separator design element and it’s thickness is measured in ____________.
-
Line, pixels
-
Line, centimeters
-
Shape, pixels
-
Line, inches
Correct Answer
A. Line, pixelsExplanation
In graphic design software or tools, such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar applications, the "line" tool is a fundamental feature used to draw straight lines. These lines can serve various purposes in design, including separating different elements, outlining shapes, or creating borders. The thickness of these lines, often referred to as the stroke width, can be adjusted according to the designer's preference or the requirements of the design. In many graphic design software, including those mentioned above, the thickness of lines is measured in pixels. Pixels (short for "picture elements") are the smallest units of display on a digital screen. They are used to define the resolution and size of digital images and graphics. In graphic design software, specifying line thickness in pixels allows for precise control over the appearance of lines in the digital space. So, when using the line tool in graphic design software, designers can set the thickness of the lines in terms of pixels to achieve the desired visual effect or separation between elements in their designs.Rate this question:

The ___________ command (Control+I) converts a color image to grayscale values.
-
Modified
-
Invert
-
Diverse
-
Desaturate
Correct Answer
A. DesaturateExplanation
In image editing software or graphic design tools, "desaturate" is a common term used to describe the process of converting a color image to grayscale. When you desaturate an image, it means you are removing the color information and representing the image using only shades of gray.
Typically, this is done by reducing the saturation of each color in the image to zero, effectively making it grayscale. The "Control+I" keyboard shortcut mentioned in the question is likely a shortcut for desaturating an image in a specific software or context, such as Adobe Photoshop or a similar image editing program.Rate this question:

-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The Rule of Thirds is a compositional guideline used in design and photography. It suggests dividing the frame into nine equal parts using two horizontal and two vertical lines, resulting in four intersection points. These intersection points are considered strong focal points, and placing the main subject or point of interest at one of these points can create a visually pleasing and balanced composition. Therefore, the statement that the Rule of Thirds has 4 crosshairs where the main focal point should be placed is true.Rate this question:

The term used for describing the reduction on pixels in a selection is called condensing.
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. FalseExplanation
When referring to the reduction of pixels in a selection, the process is commonly known as downsampling or resizing.Downsampling: This involves reducing the number of pixels in an image or selection, typically to decrease file size or to fit within certain constraints (such as dimensions for web use or printing). Downsampling can be done in various ways, such as averaging neighboring pixels, using interpolation methods, or simply removing pixels. This process can result in a loss of detail and image quality, especially if done excessively.Resizing: This term specifically refers to changing the dimensions of an image or selection, which often involves both upsampling (increasing pixel dimensions) and downsampling (decreasing pixel dimensions). Resizing is commonly done to fit an image into a specific space or to adjust its proportions while maintaining its aspect ratio.Both downsampling and resizing are important techniques in image editing and manipulation, allowing designers and photographers to optimize images for different purposes while balancing file size and image quality.Rate this question:
