Question 1

What does the 'Posterize' adjustment do to an image?

Accepted Answer

Reduces the image to a specified number of tonal levels per channel, creating a flat graphic look

Answer

Posterize reduces each channel to a set number of discrete tonal values, resulting in a bold flat-color graphic style reminiscent of screen-printed posters.

Question 2

What does the 'Threshold' adjustment do?

Accepted Answer

Converts an image to pure black and white with no gray tones based on a brightness threshold

Threshold converts all pixels lighter than the threshold value to white and all darker pixels to black, creating a high-contrast two-tone image.

Photomerge automatically aligns and blends a series of overlapping photographs into a wide panoramic image.

Question 4

What does the 'Emboss' filter do to an image?

Accepted Answer

Creates a raised 3D relief effect by detecting edges and filling with gray

Answer

The Emboss filter renders the image in gray tones with highlighted and shadowed edges that simulate a three-dimensional embossed surface.

Question 5

Which blending mode is most commonly used with a texture overlay to let both texture and original image show through?

Overlay or Soft Light

Answer

Overlay and Soft Light both combine the texture with the image by keeping midtones partially transparent while boosting contrast, showing both layers naturally.
