ART Digital Tools & Software 5

Question 1

What is the purpose of 'kerning' in digital typography used in art layouts?

Accepted Answer

Adjusting the spacing between specific pairs of characters

Answer

Kerning adjusts the horizontal space between specific character pairs to improve the visual appearance of type.

Question 2

A digital artist is using a stylus with tilt sensitivity. How can this feature enhance the artwork?

Accepted Answer

It allows the brush angle and width to respond to how the pen is tilted, mimicking real media

Answer

Tilt sensitivity changes brush behavior based on the stylus angle, simulating how a pencil or brush would behave when held at different angles.

Question 3

Which tool in Photoshop allows an artist to replace a color in an image by painting over it while preserving texture and luminosity?

Accepted Answer

Color Replacement Tool

Answer

The Color Replacement Tool samples the target color and replaces it with the foreground color while preserving texture, shading, and detail.

Question 4

In the context of digital art software, what does 'GPU acceleration' improve?

Accepted Answer

The rendering speed of brushes, canvas rotation, and real-time effects

Answer

GPU acceleration offloads canvas rendering tasks to the graphics card, dramatically improving brush performance, zoom, and real-time filter previews.

Question 5

What is the main advantage of using 'adjustment layers' in Photoshop instead of applying adjustments directly to a pixel layer?

Accepted Answer

They apply changes non-destructively, keeping the original pixels intact and editable

Answer

Adjustment layers float above pixel layers and apply corrections non-destructively, so the original image data is never permanently altered.
