    When you copy an image from Google and paste it into Photoshop, a new layer is made.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When you copy an image from Google and paste it into Photoshop, a new layer is made because Photoshop treats each pasted image as a separate layer. This allows you to easily manipulate and edit the pasted image without affecting the original layers or background.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    These are separate pieces for an overall image.

    • Files

    • Groups

    • Layers

    • Filters

    Correct Answer
    A. Layers
    Explanation
    The given options are all related to digital image editing. Among these options, layers are the most suitable answer as they are individual components or levels that can be edited separately and then combined to create a final image. Layers allow for greater control and flexibility in editing, as different elements can be adjusted independently without affecting the rest of the image. Therefore, layers are separate pieces that contribute to the overall image.

    Rate this question:

    • Control+J

    • Control+D

    • Control+T

    • Control+C

    Correct Answer
    A. Control+J
    Explanation
    Control+J is the shortcut to duplicate a layer. By pressing Control+J, the selected layer will be duplicated and a new layer will be created with the exact same content as the original layer. This shortcut is commonly used in graphic design and photo editing software to quickly create copies of layers for various purposes, such as applying different effects or making edits without affecting the original layer.

    • Move

    • Quick Mask

    Correct Answer
    A. Free Transform
    Explanation
    Free Transform is the correct answer because it is a procedure that allows you to manipulate an object in various ways. It gives you the ability to distort, flip, rotate, or change the perspective of an object. This tool is commonly used in graphic design and image editing software to transform and adjust elements within an image.

    • Blur

    • Smudge

    • Sharpen

    • Type

    Correct Answer
    A. Sharpen
    Explanation
    Sharpen is the correct answer because it refers to a filter or tool that enhances the clarity and definition of pixels in an image. By applying the sharpen filter, the image appears crisper and more detailed, improving the overall sharpness of the image. This filter works by increasing the contrast between adjacent pixels, making edges and details more pronounced.

    A. Control+T
    Explanation
    Control+T is the shortcut that activates the ability to resize, rotate, skew, distort, change perspective, or flip an image. This shortcut is commonly used in image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop to access the transform tools and make adjustments to the selected image or layer. By pressing Control+T, users can easily manipulate the image's size, orientation, and perspective according to their requirements.

    A. Healing Brush
    Explanation
    The Healing Brush tool can be activated by hitting J and then Shift+J. This tool is used in image editing software to fix imperfections or remove unwanted elements from a photo. It works by sampling pixels from a source area and blending them with the target area, resulting in a seamless correction. By activating the Healing Brush tool with the specified keyboard shortcuts, users can quickly access and use this tool for their editing needs.

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    A layer mask can be applied to a Type Layer because it allows for non-destructive editing of the text. By applying a layer mask, certain areas of the text can be hidden or revealed, giving flexibility in adjusting the visibility and transparency of the text. This is particularly useful when blending text with images or creating text effects.

Therefore, transparent is the correct answer as it aligns with the given information.

    The threshold is an Image Adjustment Layer option.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because the threshold is indeed an Image Adjustment Layer option. In image editing software, an adjustment layer allows users to make non-destructive changes to an image. The threshold adjustment layer specifically allows users to convert an image into a high-contrast, black-and-white version by setting a threshold value. This value determines which pixels will be converted to black or white based on their brightness levels. Therefore, the threshold is a valid option within the Image Adjustment Layer.
