What is a pixelized, or pixelated, image?
- An image that contains "garbage" pixels.
- An image that has a resolution of 200 ppi or less.
- An image that appears rough because individual pixels are large enough to be visible to the eye.
- A printed image in which lines or streaks are visible.
Correct Answer

A. An image that appears rough because individual pixels are large enough to be visible to the eye.

Explanation

A pixelized or pixelated image refers to an image that appears rough because the individual pixels are large enough to be visible to the eye. This means that the image lacks smoothness and clarity, with the individual square-shaped pixels being easily discernible. This can happen when the image has a low resolution or when it is enlarged beyond its original size without proper scaling algorithms. The roughness and visibility of the pixels give the image a blocky and distorted appearance.

Rate this question:
6.

Why does a low-resolution image not use as much file space as a high-resolution image?
- Low-resolution images use fewer colors.
- Low-resolution images use fewer pixels.
- Low-resolution images use more compression.
- Low-resolution images cab be written to the storage device in smaller blocks, increasing efficiency.
Correct Answer

A. Low-resolution images use fewer pixels.

Explanation

Low-resolution images use fewer pixels, which means that there are fewer individual dots of color that make up the image. Each pixel requires a certain amount of file space to store its color information, so when there are fewer pixels, less file space is needed. This is why low-resolution images have smaller file sizes compared to high-resolution images, which have more pixels and therefore require more file space to store the additional color information.

What changes when the Zoom Tool is used?
- Your view of the image.
- The size of the image.
- The number of pixels in the image.
- The file size of the image.
Correct Answer

A. Your view of the image.

Explanation

When the Zoom Tool is used, the view of the image changes. This means that the user can either zoom in to get a closer look at a specific part of the image or zoom out to see the entire image. The Zoom Tool does not affect the size of the image, the number of pixels in the image, or the file size of the image.

Rate this question:

At what resolution should an image be scanned if it is going to be restored or retouched?
- At least 150 spi.
- At least 300 spi.
- At least 600 spi.
- At least 1200 spi.
Correct Answer

A. At least 300 spi.

Explanation

The resolution at which an image should be scanned for restoration or retouching should be at least 300 spi. This is because a higher resolution provides more detail and allows for better quality restoration and retouching. A resolution of 300 spi ensures that the image will have sufficient clarity and sharpness to accurately restore or retouch any imperfections or damage.

If you set the Feather option to 6 pixels, how wide will the total feathered effect be?
- 12 pixels.
- 6 pixels.
- 3 pixels.
- I depends on what selection tool you use.
Correct Answer

A. 12 pixels.

Explanation

The feather option in image editing software allows you to soften the edges of a selection. When the feather option is set to 6 pixels, it means that the effect will extend 6 pixels inwards from the edge of the selection and 6 pixels outwards from the edge of the selection. Therefore, the total feathered effect will be 12 pixels wide.

What is an out-of-gamut color?
- A particular shade of color that cannot be used on a website.
- A particular shade of color that Photoshop cannot reproduce.
- A particular shade of color that cannot be reproduced using CMYK inks.
- A particular shade of color that cannot be produced on a computer monitor.
Correct Answer

A. A particular shade of color that cannot be reproduced using CMYK inks.

Explanation

An out-of-gamut color refers to a shade of color that cannot be accurately reproduced using CMYK inks. CMYK is a color model used in printing, where colors are created by combining cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks. However, CMYK has a limited color gamut, meaning it cannot reproduce certain shades of color accurately. These out-of-gamut colors may appear differently when printed compared to how they appear on a computer screen or in other color models like RGB.

Rate this question:

When an image is sharpened, what happens to pixels to cause edges of objects to stand out more?
- Darker pixels get darker and lighter pixels get lighter.
- Darker pixels get lighter and lighter pixels get darker.
- Darker pixels get darker and lighter pixels stay the same.
- Lighter pixels get lighter and darker pixels stay the same.
Correct Answer

A. Darker pixels get darker and lighter pixels get lighter.

Explanation

When an image is sharpened, the algorithm enhances the contrast between adjacent pixels. Darker pixels are made even darker, which makes the edges of objects appear more defined. Similarly, lighter pixels are made even lighter, further emphasizing the contrast between different areas of the image. This sharpening effect helps the edges of objects stand out more prominently.

How are the type mask tools different from the other two type tools?
- They create vertical text instead of horizontal text.
- Instead of creating text, they create selections that look like text.
- They create smaller font sizes.
- They can only create decorative font styles.
Correct Answer

A. Instead of creating text, they create selections that look like text.

Explanation

The type mask tools are different from the other two type tools because they do not actually create text. Instead, they create selections that mimic the appearance of text. This means that the type mask tools allow you to create selections in the shape of letters or words, which can then be filled or stroked with color or used for various other editing purposes. Unlike the other type tools, they do not generate actual editable text layers.

Mixing different colors of light to create a new color is called a(n) _____ color system.
- Additive
- Subtractive
- Spot
- CMYK
Correct Answer

A. Additive

Explanation

Mixing different colors of light to create a new color is called an additive color system. In an additive color system, colors are created by combining different wavelengths of light. This is commonly seen in devices such as televisions and computer screens, where red, green, and blue lights are combined to create a full range of colors. In contrast, subtractive color systems, such as the CMYK system used in printing, involve subtracting certain wavelengths of light to create colors. Spot color refers to the use of specific pre-mixed ink colors in printing.

Which of the following formats does not save layers?
- JPEG
- PSD
- TIFF
- PDF
Correct Answer

A. JPEG

Explanation

JPEG format does not save layers. Unlike PSD (Photoshop Document), TIFF (Tagged Image File Format), and PDF (Portable Document Format), JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a lossy compression format that does not support layers. When saving an image in JPEG format, all layers are flattened into a single merged image. This format is commonly used for sharing images online or for displaying photographs, where smaller file sizes are preferred over the ability to edit individual layers.

When an image in RGB mode is converted to CMYK, what happens to the out-of-gamut colors in the image?
- They are deleted.
- They are converted to the nearest possible CMYK match.
- They are temporarily hidden.
- An error message appears.
Correct Answer

A. They are converted to the nearest possible CMYK match.

Explanation

When an image in RGB mode is converted to CMYK, the out-of-gamut colors in the image are not deleted or hidden. Instead, they are converted to the nearest possible CMYK match. This means that the colors that are outside the printable range of CMYK are adjusted to the closest possible colors that can be reproduced in the CMYK color space. This ensures that the image retains as much color accuracy as possible when printed in CMYK format.

- Maximum values of red, green, and blue light are combined.
- Maximum values of CMYK inks are combined.
- Minimum values of CMYK inks are combined.
Correct Answer

A. Maximum values of red, green, and blue light are combined.

Explanation

In an additive color system, white is created by combining the maximum values of red, green, and blue light. This is because in additive color mixing, different colors of light are added together to create new colors. When the maximum values of red, green, and blue light are combined, they create white light. This is the basis for how colors are displayed on digital screens and other devices that use RGB color mixing.
