  • 3. 

    Which is more useful in situations where image compression involved solid colors repeating often?

    • Lossless

    • Lossy

    • Neither

    • Both

    Correct Answer
    A. Lossless
    Explanation
    In situations where image compression involves solid colors repeating often, lossless compression would be more useful. Lossless compression algorithms are designed to preserve all the original data and ensure that there is no loss in quality. This would be beneficial in scenarios where solid colors are repeated often because lossy compression, which involves discarding some data to achieve higher compression ratios, may result in a loss of detail and introduce artifacts in the image. By using lossless compression, the image can be compressed without sacrificing any quality, making it more suitable for situations where solid colors are repeated frequently.

  • 4. 

    A byte is represented in how many values?

    • 180

    • 256

    • 191

    • 360

    Correct Answer
    A. 256
    Explanation
    A byte is represented in 256 values because a byte is a unit of digital information that consists of 8 bits. Each bit can have two possible values, either 0 or 1. Therefore, with 8 bits, there are 2^8 = 256 possible combinations, resulting in 256 different values that a byte can represent.

  • 5. 

    What is the process that adds small amount of noise, reducing the presence of aliasing?

    • Dithering

    • Anti-aliasing

    • Posterization

    • Rendering

    Correct Answer
    A. Dithering
    Explanation
    Dithering is the process of adding a small amount of noise to an image or signal in order to reduce the presence of aliasing. Aliasing occurs when a signal is sampled or displayed at too low of a resolution, causing jagged edges or distortion. By adding noise, dithering can help smooth out these jagged edges and create a more natural and visually pleasing appearance. This technique is commonly used in digital image processing and computer graphics to improve the overall quality of an image.

    If you are editing a picture, and you set the contrast to its highest level, what will occur?

    • Only gray

    • Only white

    • Only black

    • Black and white

    Correct Answer
    A. Black and white
    Explanation
    When the contrast is set to its highest level while editing a picture, it will result in black and white. Increasing the contrast enhances the difference between the lightest and darkest areas of the image, making the dark areas appear black and the light areas appear white. This creates a high level of contrast between the two extremes, resulting in a black and white image.

    Pixels determine the size of the image in __________ images.

    • Bitmap

    • Vector

    • Both

    • Neither

    Correct Answer
    A. Bitmap
    Explanation
    Pixels determine the size of the image in bitmap images. Bitmap images are made up of individual pixels, and the size of the image is determined by the number of pixels it contains. Each pixel represents a single point in the image and contains information about its color and brightness. Therefore, the more pixels an image has, the higher its resolution and the larger its size. Vector images, on the other hand, are not made up of pixels and can be resized without losing quality.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    What is rasterizing?

    • Transforming bitmap to vector

    • Transforming vector to bitmap

    • Transforming SVG to JPG

    • Transforming JPG to SVG

    Correct Answer
    A. Transforming vector to bitmap
    Explanation
    Rasterizing refers to the process of converting vector graphics, which are made up of mathematical equations and lines, into a bitmap or raster image composed of pixels. This transformation is necessary when vector graphics need to be displayed on devices or platforms that only support raster images, such as computer screens or printers. By converting the vector graphics to a bitmap format, the image can be rendered accurately with each pixel representing a specific color or shade. Therefore, transforming vector graphics to a bitmap is the correct explanation for rasterizing.
