Image Editing Introduction to Image Editing 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What happens when you enlarge a raster image well beyond its original size?
- It stays perfectly sharp
- It becomes pixelated and blurry (Correct answer)
- It converts to a vector
- It loses its color
Correct answer: It becomes pixelated and blurry
Raster images are made of fixed pixels, so enlarging them too much causes visible pixelation and blur.
Question 2: Which type of graphic remains sharp at any scale?
- JPEG photo
- Raster image
- Vector graphic (Correct answer)
- Bitmap
Correct answer: Vector graphic
Vector graphics use mathematical paths, so they scale to any size without losing quality.
Question 3: What does the 'clone stamp' tool typically do?
- Adds text
- Copies pixels from one area to paint over another (Correct answer)
- Rotates the image
- Changes the canvas size
Correct answer: Copies pixels from one area to paint over another
The clone stamp samples pixels from a source area and paints them elsewhere, useful for removing blemishes.
Question 4: What is the main advantage of editing in a non-destructive workflow?
- Smaller file sizes
- Faster export
- Original image data is preserved (Correct answer)
- Automatic color correction
Correct answer: Original image data is preserved
Non-destructive editing keeps the original pixels intact so changes can be undone or adjusted later.
Question 5: Which tool would best select a region of similar color with one click?
- Magic Wand (Correct answer)
- Crop tool
- Eyedropper
- Gradient tool
Correct answer: Magic Wand
The Magic Wand selects contiguous areas of similar color based on a tolerance setting.
Question 6: What does increasing 'saturation' do to an image?
- Makes colors more vivid (Correct answer)
- Darkens shadows
- Adds blur
- Reduces resolution
Correct answer: Makes colors more vivid
Raising saturation intensifies the colors, making them appear richer and more vivid.
Question 7: What is 'DPI' a measure of?
- Dots per inch for print output (Correct answer)
- Digital photo index
- Data processing interval
- Default pixel intensity
Correct answer: Dots per inch for print output
DPI stands for dots per inch, indicating print density and detail.
