Photoshop Color Correction and Grading 3

Question 1

What does the Black & White adjustment layer in Photoshop do compared to simply desaturating an image?

Accepted Answer

Black & White gives individual control over how each color range converts to gray, allowing creative tonal mapping

Answer

The Black & White adjustment lets you set the gray value independently for each color range (Reds, Yellows, Greens, etc.), giving much greater creative control over the tonal conversion.

Question 2

In Photoshop, what color mode should an image be in for most web and screen display workflows?

Accepted Answer

RGB

Answer

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the standard color mode for screens and web display, as monitors mix light using these three primary channels.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the Threshold adjustment in Photoshop?

Accepted Answer

Converts images to high-contrast black and white by setting a luminosity cutoff point

Answer

Threshold converts an image to pure black and white, where pixels above the set luminosity value become white and those below become black.

Question 4

What does the Split Toning feature (now called Color Grading in newer versions) in Camera Raw allow you to do?

Accepted Answer

Apply different color tints to the shadows and highlights independently

Answer

Split Toning/Color Grading lets you apply separate hue and saturation values to shadows, midtones, and highlights, enabling stylized cinematic color grades.

Question 5

Which color model is Photoshop's Hue/Saturation adjustment based on?

Accepted Answer

HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness)

The Hue/Saturation adjustment operates on the HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color model, where Hue is the color angle, Saturation is intensity, and Brightness is lightness.
