    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given correct answer is that the magic wand tool does indeed work with a setting called tolerance. This tolerance setting determines the sensitivity level of what is being selected by the tool. By adjusting the tolerance, users can control how closely the tool selects pixels based on their color or tone. A higher tolerance value will select a broader range of pixels, while a lower tolerance value will select a narrower range. Therefore, the statement "The magic wand works with a setting called tolerance to determine the sensitivity level of what is being selected by this tool" is true.

    The term used to change a smart object into an editable layer is _________. 

    • Transformation

    • Rendering

    • Rasterize

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. Rasterize
    Explanation
    When a smart object is rasterized, it is converted into an editable layer. This means that the smart object is no longer a linked file, but instead becomes a part of the overall image composition and can be modified directly. Rasterizing allows for more flexibility and control over the smart object, as it can now be edited using various tools and adjustments available for regular layers. Therefore, rasterize is the correct term to describe the process of changing a smart object into an editable layer.

A hexadecimal color code is a six-digit combination of numbers and letters that represents a specific color. The first two digits represent the red component, the next two digits represent the green component, and the last two digits represent the blue component. Therefore, there are only 6 characters in a hexadecimal color code combination.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the given answer is that the Rule of Thirds actually uses a 3x3 grid, not a 4x4 grid, for determining where to place the focal point in an image. This grid divides the image into nine equal parts, with four intersecting points that are considered the most visually appealing areas to place the focal point. By placing the subject or point of interest at one of these intersecting points, the composition of the image becomes more balanced and visually engaging.

    Correct Answer
    A. 255

    A Smart Object Thumbnail on a layer means you can edit that layer.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    A Smart Object Thumbnail on a layer does not mean that you can edit that layer. Smart Object Thumbnails are small icons that represent the content of a Smart Object layer, which is a layer that contains embedded or linked external files. These Smart Objects can be edited separately from the main document, but the presence of a Smart Object Thumbnail does not grant direct editing capabilities to the layer itself. Therefore, the given statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    A layer that is active must be visible.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because a layer can be active without being visible. In software such as Adobe Photoshop, for example, you can have multiple layers in a document, but only one layer can be active at a time. The active layer is the one that you are currently working on or making changes to, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is visible. You can choose to hide or show the active layer as needed.
