Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Additive Color Model is: A system in which colors are produced by combining red, green, and blue light (the additive primaries). An RGB video monitor is based on an additive color model. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The additive color model is a system where colors are created by combining red, green, and blue light. This means that when these three primary colors are mixed together, they can create a wide range of colors. An RGB video monitor, which uses red, green, and blue pixels, is an example of an additive color model. Therefore, the statement "Additive Color Model is a system in which colors are produced by combining red, green, and blue light" is true.

    Authoring tool is: An image made up of small squares arranged in a grid. Each square in the grid is a pixel. 

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    An authoring tool is not an image made up of small squares arranged in a grid.

    What best describes a "Color Channel"? 

    • A.

      System used to match color across different input, display, and output devices.

    • B.

      System used to match color across different input, display, and output devices.

    • C.

      A single-color image that can be edited separately from the other color channels in a color space; for example, the red channel of an RGB image.

    • D.

      The process of separating a color image into the color components for printing: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black.

    Correct Answer
    C. A single-color image that can be edited separately from the other color channels in a color space; for example, the red channel of an RGB image.
    Explanation
    A "Color Channel" refers to a single-color image that can be edited independently from the other color channels in a color space, such as the red channel of an RGB image. This allows for precise manipulation and adjustment of specific colors in an image without affecting the overall composition.

    What best describes "DIC"? 

    • A.

      A Japanese standard of specifications for separations, proofs, and color printing.

    • B.

      Colors described using a model based on human visual perception instead of being device-specific.

    • C.

      A measurement of the light-absorbing quality of a photographic or printed image.

    • D.

      An instrument commonly used in the graphic arts industry to measure density according to a specified standard.

    Correct Answer
    A. A Japanese standard of specifications for separations, proofs, and color printing.
    Explanation
    DIC stands for "Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd.", which is a Japanese company. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that "DIC" refers to a Japanese standard of specifications for separations, proofs, and color printing.
