Mr. Suter - Photoshop Cs4: Tools + Shortcuts Quiz

The correct answer is "brush tool" because it is the tool used for creating strokes and applying colors in digital artwork or image editing software. It simulates the effect of a traditional paintbrush, allowing users to create a variety of brush strokes and textures. This tool is commonly used in programs like Photoshop or Illustrator for painting, blending, and adding artistic effects to digital images.

The shortcut to "free transform" a layer or selection in this case is command + T, cmd + T, apple + T, command and T, or command+T.

This tool is used for zooming in or zooming out on an image or a layer. It allows the user to adjust the size of the image or layer to make it appear larger or smaller on the screen. This can be helpful for focusing on specific details or getting a broader view of the entire image.

This tool would be used for cropping an image or a selection. Cropping allows you to remove unwanted parts of an image and focus on a specific area or subject. By using this tool, you can resize and reshape the image or selection according to your desired dimensions, effectively eliminating any unnecessary elements.

To "crop" an image means to cut off or remove the excess or unneeded parts of the image. This is done to focus on a specific area or subject within the image and eliminate any distractions or unwanted elements. Cropping allows for better composition and can enhance the overall visual impact of the image.

The letter "B" represents the button to click to make a new layer.

This tool is used for adding text to an image.

In the given image, the letter "A" is the button to push to turn a selection into a "mask".

This tool is considered one of the selection tools because it allows users to choose or select specific parts of an image or document. This tool is commonly used in graphic design or photo editing software to isolate and manipulate specific elements within an image. The other options, such as coloring, resizing, and view changing, do not accurately describe the function of this tool.

The proper name of this tool is the rectangular marquee tool. This tool is used for making rectangular selections or cropping images in image editing software. It allows users to select a specific area of an image by dragging a rectangular shape around it. The term "marquee" refers to the highlighted area that is created when using this tool. The other options listed, such as editing tool, move tool, and delete tool, do not accurately describe the specific function of this tool.

The correct answer is the custom shape tool. This tool allows users to create and manipulate custom shapes in various forms such as rectangles, circles, polygons, and more. It is commonly used in graphic design and digital art to add unique and stylized shapes to their projects.

This tool is used to move something within an image or document. It allows the user to select an object or element and then relocate it to a different position. This can be useful for rearranging elements, repositioning objects, or adjusting the layout of an image or design.

To duplicate a layer, you would drag it to button B.

DPI stands for "dots per inch". This term is commonly used to measure the resolution of an image or the printing quality. It refers to the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within a one-inch span. A higher DPI value indicates a higher image resolution and better print quality, as more dots are packed into each inch.

In this color palette, black is typically used as the background color, providing a solid and strong base for other elements to stand out against. On the other hand, white is commonly used as the foreground color, as it contrasts well with the black background and allows text and other important elements to be easily readable and noticeable.

While in "free transform" mode, you have the ability to both rotate and resize things. This means that you can adjust the size of an object or image while also rotating it to the desired angle. This gives you more flexibility in manipulating the selected item to fit your needs or preferences.

The resolution of an image that should be used for a website is typically 72 dpi. This is because computer screens display images at a standard resolution of 72 dots per inch, so using a higher resolution would not improve the quality of the image on the website. Additionally, using a lower resolution may result in a blurry or pixelated image. Therefore, 72 dpi is the most appropriate resolution for images on a website.

If you can't find your layers, masks, navigation, or any other palette, you would go to the "Window" drop down menu to show them. This menu typically contains options to display various panels and palettes that may be hidden or closed in the interface.

When using a selection tool, holding the shift key while selecting allows for the addition of more elements to the current selection. This means that any new selections made while holding the shift key will be added to the existing selection, rather than replacing it.

The correct answer is Image > Image Size. This option allows you to check the current resolution of the image. The other options mentioned in the question, such as File > Save As and Edit > Image Resolution, do not directly provide information about the image's resolution. Similarly, Image > Canvas Size does not specifically show the resolution, but rather the dimensions of the canvas. Therefore, Image > Image Size is the most appropriate option to check the image's resolution.

The correct answer is option + delete (backspace). This shortcut is used to fill any selection or an entire layer with white. The "option" key on a Mac keyboard is equivalent to the "alt" key on a Windows keyboard. Pressing "option" + "delete" (backspace) will fill the selection or layer with the background color, which is usually white by default.

When using a selection tool, if you want to subtract from the current selection, you should hold the option key while selecting.

The correct answer is command + delete (backspace). In Adobe Photoshop, the shortcut command + delete (backspace) is used to fill any selection or an entire layer with the foreground color, which is typically black by default. This shortcut is commonly used for quickly filling areas with a solid color without the need for using the paint bucket tool or other methods.
