    In most applications, which of these quick keys DOES NOT match its command?

    • CTRL-P = Paste.

    • CTRL-X = Cut.

    • CTRL-C = Copy.

    • CTRL-N = New.

    Correct Answer
    A. CTRL-P = Paste.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is CTRL-P = Paste. This is because in most applications, the command for paste is usually CTRL-V, not CTRL-P. CTRL-P is commonly used for the print command.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    In most applications, the commands CUT, COPY and PASTE are located in this menu:

    • File.

    • Edit.

    • Tools.

    • Help.

    Correct Answer
    A. Edit.
    Explanation
    The commands CUT, COPY, and PASTE are commonly used for editing purposes, such as moving or duplicating text or files. Therefore, it is logical for these commands to be located in the "Edit" menu, as it is specifically designated for editing functions. The "File" menu typically contains options related to saving, opening, and closing files, while the "Tools" menu usually includes additional features or utilities. The "Help" menu provides assistance and support resources.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    If you've saved your file once already, you can do a 'quick-save' by pressing:

    • The F1 key.

    • The F7 key.

    • CTRL-S.

    • CTRL-A.

    Correct Answer
    A. CTRL-S.
    Explanation
    Pressing CTRL-S allows you to quickly save your file if you have already saved it once before. The F1 key is typically used for accessing help, the F7 key is often used for spell checking, and CTRL-A is usually used for selecting all text.

    In most graphic applications, the little black triangle in the bottom-right corner (as seen in this example) means:

    • There are more tool options available.

    • A dialog box will appear.

    • A drop down menu will appear.

    • The tool only works if an object is selected.

    Correct Answer
    A. There are more tool options available.
    Explanation
    The little black triangle in the bottom-right corner typically indicates that there are more tool options available. Clicking on it will reveal additional settings or features related to the tool being used. This allows users to customize their experience and access a wider range of options within the graphic application.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    For what is considered "high quality" or "print resolution", your images should be set for:

    • 72 pixels per inch.

    • 96 pixels per inch.

    • 300 pixels per inch.

    • 2,000 pixels per inch.

    Correct Answer
    A. 300 pixels per inch.
    Explanation
    For high quality or print resolution, images should be set at 300 pixels per inch. This is because a higher pixel density provides more detail and clarity in the image when it is printed. Lower pixel densities, such as 72 or 96 pixels per inch, are typically used for web or screen viewing where the image is displayed at a smaller size and does not require as much detail. Setting the image at 2,000 pixels per inch would be excessive and unnecessary for most printing purposes.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    While Photoshop is mostly a PIXEL-based image editor, Illustrator uses point-based coordinates known as:

    • Vectors.

    • Layers.

    • Masks.

    • Rasters.

    Correct Answer
    A. Vectors.
    Explanation
    Illustrator uses point-based coordinates known as vectors. Vectors are mathematical equations that define the position, shape, and size of objects in a two-dimensional space. Unlike pixels, which are used in raster-based editors like Photoshop, vectors are resolution-independent and can be scaled without any loss of quality. This makes Illustrator ideal for creating logos, illustrations, and other graphics that require precise and scalable shapes. Layers and masks are features found in both Photoshop and Illustrator, but they are not specifically related to the point-based coordinate system used in Illustrator.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    The term "opacity" goes hand-in-hand with _______ since they are opposites.

    • Transparency.

    • Anti-aliasing.

    • Layering.

    • Rasterizing.

    Correct Answer
    A. Transparency.
    Explanation
    Opacity and transparency are opposite concepts in the context of visual elements. Opacity refers to the degree of opaqueness or lack of transparency of an object, while transparency refers to the degree of see-through or clearness. When an object has high opacity, it is less transparent, and vice versa. Therefore, transparency is the term that goes hand-in-hand with opacity as they represent opposite qualities in visual elements.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What does it mean to "crop" an image?

    • Cut off excess parts of the image.

    • Remove objects or people from the image.

    • Change the resolution to a smaller size.

    • Move an image to another image.

    Correct Answer
    A. Cut off excess parts of the image.
    Explanation
    To "crop" an image means to cut off or remove the excess parts of the image. This process allows you to focus on a specific area or subject in the image by eliminating any unnecessary or distracting elements. Cropping helps to improve the composition, remove unwanted background or foreground, and highlight the main subject of the image. It does not involve removing objects or people from the image, changing the resolution, or moving the image to another image.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following can you NOT do with Photoshop?

    • Restore old photographs.

    • Create original artwork with a brush or pen tool.

    • Open and edit JPG files.

    • Break an image down into vector for printers.

    Correct Answer
    A. Break an image down into vector for printers.
    Explanation
    Photoshop is a powerful image editing software that allows users to restore old photographs, create original artwork with a brush or pen tool, and open and edit JPG files. However, breaking an image down into vector format for printers is not a feature available in Photoshop. Vectorization is a process typically done using software like Adobe Illustrator, which allows for scalability and precise printing.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    For use of an image for web (or to downsize for email) the resolution should be:

    • 100 dpi

    • 92 dpi

    • 72 dpi

    • 200 dpi

    Correct Answer
    A. 72 dpi
    Explanation
    The resolution for using an image for web or downsizing for email should be 72 dpi. This is because web and email platforms typically display images at a standard resolution of 72 dots per inch. Using a higher resolution may result in larger file sizes and slower loading times, while using a lower resolution may lead to a loss of image quality. Therefore, 72 dpi is the most suitable resolution for web and email use.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What does dpi stand for?

    • Damage per increment

    • Dots per integer

    • dots per increment

    • Dots per inch

    Correct Answer
    A. Dots per inch
    Explanation
    DPI stands for "dots per inch". It is a measurement used to determine the resolution or clarity of an image or printout. The higher the DPI, the more dots or pixels are packed into each inch, resulting in a sharper and more detailed image. DPI is commonly used in printing, scanning, and displaying images on screens.

    • Draw

    • Selection

    • Heal

    • Brush

    Correct Answer
    A. Selection
    Explanation
    The tools in this group, including draw, selection, heal, and brush, all serve the purpose of making selections. However, each tool accomplishes this task in a different way. The draw tool allows the user to create freehand selections, the selection tool allows for precise selection of specific areas, the heal tool is used to remove imperfections in selected areas, and the brush tool can be used to paint selections.

    What does the eyedropper tool do?

    • Paints a single dot of color at the cursor.

    • Selects the color at the cursor click.

    • Picks up the color and places it someplace else.

    • Fades the colors of an area centered on the cursor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Selects the color at the cursor click.
    Explanation
    The eyedropper tool in this context refers to a feature commonly found in graphic design software. When the user clicks on a specific area of an image or design using the eyedropper tool, it selects the color of that particular pixel. This allows the user to easily sample and replicate colors from one part of the image to another, ensuring consistency in the design.

    "Layers" in Photoshop are...

    • Filters that have been applied to the image.

    • Separate images stacked on top of each other.

    • Previous versions of an image.

    • Color components (such as CMYK).

    Correct Answer
    A. Separate images stacked on top of each other.
    Explanation
    Layers in Photoshop are separate images stacked on top of each other. In Photoshop, each layer can contain different elements such as text, shapes, or adjustments. By stacking these layers, you can easily edit and manipulate specific parts of an image without affecting the rest. This allows for greater flexibility and control in the editing process.

    Which tool would be best used to select around an object?

    • Crop tool

    • Red eye tool

    • Art brush tool

    • Quick selection tool

    Correct Answer
    A. Quick selection tool
    Explanation
    The quick selection tool would be best used to select around an object because it allows users to easily and quickly make selections by automatically detecting and selecting similar pixels within an image. This tool is especially useful when dealing with complex or detailed objects that require precise selection. The crop tool is used to trim or remove unwanted parts of an image, the red eye tool is used to remove red-eye effect in photographs, and the art brush tool is used for creating artistic brush strokes.

    In most illustration programs, you can create perfect circles and squares by using the shape tool and pressing _____ while you drag the shape.

    • Shift

    • Ctrl

    • Shift+Ctrl

    • Alt

    Correct Answer
    A. Shift
    Explanation
    In most illustration programs, pressing Shift while dragging the shape using the shape tool allows you to create perfect circles and squares. This is because the Shift key helps to maintain the aspect ratio of the shape, ensuring that it remains proportional and symmetrical. By holding down Shift, you can easily create precise and uniform shapes without any distortion.
