    • Feather

    • De-select

    • Anti-alias

    • Contrast

    Correct Answer
    A. Feather
    Explanation
    Feathering refers to the gradual transition or blurring of the edges between a selection and the surrounding pixels. It helps to create a more realistic and natural-looking effect, particularly when combining or blending images. By feathering a selection, the sharpness of the edges is reduced, resulting in a smoother and more seamless integration with the background or adjacent elements.

    A picture or portrait whose border fades into the surrounding color at its edges...

    • Layer mask

    • Clipping mask

    • Vignette

    • Mask

    Correct Answer
    A. Vignette
    Explanation
    A vignette is a picture or portrait whose border fades into the surrounding color at its edges. This effect is often used to draw attention to the center of the image and create a more artistic or vintage look. A layer mask is a tool used in image editing software to selectively hide or reveal parts of a layer. A clipping mask is used to clip one layer to the shape of another layer. While both masks can be used in image editing, neither specifically refers to the fading border effect described in the question. Therefore, the correct answer is vignette.

    Correct Answer
    A. Fuzziness
    Explanation
    The term "fuzziness" refers to the degree of blurriness or lack of sharpness in an image. In the context of this question, if the value of fuzziness is lower, it means that the image is less blurry and more clear. Therefore, the closer in color the pixels must be in order to be selected. In other words, a lower fuzziness value indicates a higher level of sensitivity in selecting pixels based on their color similarity.
