Which tool should you use to create an irregularly shaped selection made up of only straight lines?
- A.
  
  A. Lasso
- B.
  
  B. Polygonal Lasso
- C.
  
  C. Magnetic Lasso

The Polygonal Lasso tool is the best choice for creating an irregularly shaped selection made up of only straight lines. This tool allows you to click and create straight line segments, allowing for precise control over the shape of the selection. It is particularly useful when selecting objects with straight edges or when you need to create a selection with a specific shape or angle. The Lasso tool and Magnetic Lasso tool are not suitable for creating selections with only straight lines, as they allow for freehand drawing and automatically detect and snap to the edges of objects respectively. The Rectangular Marquee tool is used for creating rectangular or square selections.

True or false? You can select only one range of colors when using the Color Range command.

Correct Answer
False

Explanation
The statement is false because when using the Color Range command, you can actually select multiple ranges of colors. The Color Range command allows you to select specific colors or color ranges within an image by creating a selection based on color similarity. This means you can select multiple ranges of colors by adding or subtracting different color ranges to or from the selection.

Correct Answer
feathering

Explanation
Feathering is the process of gradually reducing the opacity of a selection to create a softer edge. This technique is commonly used in image editing to blend or smooth the transition between the selected area and the surrounding pixels. By extending the feathering effect equally inside and outside the selection edge, a more natural and seamless result can be achieved.

True or false? If you want to move the selected pixels, rather than the selection marquee, you should drag with the Move tool, not a selection tool.

Correct Answer
True

Explanation
If you want to move the selected pixels, rather than the selection marquee, you should drag with the Move tool, not a selection tool. This means that if you want to move the actual content of the selected area, you should use the Move tool in order to do so. The selection tools are used to create a marquee around the desired area, but dragging with them will only move the marquee itself, not the pixels within it.

What are the three component color channels in an RGB color image?

Correct Answer
Red, Green and Blue

Explanation
The three component color channels in an RGB color image are red, green, and blue. These three primary colors are combined in different intensities to create a wide range of colors. Each pixel in the image is represented by a combination of these three color channels, with varying levels of brightness or intensity for each channel. By adjusting the intensity of each color channel, different colors can be achieved, allowing for the creation of a full spectrum of colors in the image.

This color space has a wider gamut compared to other options, allowing for a larger range of colors to be accurately represented in the printed image. This is important in commercial printing where color accuracy is crucial. Saving in Adobe RGB (1998) ensures that the printed image closely matches the intended colors.

Explanation
The correct answers are b and c. Using the Adjustments Panel allows you to perform a color correction on an adjustment layer, which can be reset or deleted if necessary. This is a non-destructive edit because it doesn't permanently alter the original image. Creating a duplicate Background layer and performing destructive edits on that layer also allows you to preserve the original layer, making it a non-destructive edit as well.

1. For Caucasian flesh tones, the yellow value should be at least as high as the _______ value.
- A.
  
  White
- B.

True or false?: You should base the CMYK settings you choose, such as the press and paper type.

Correct Answer
True

CMYK settings are used for printing purposes, and the choice of these settings should be based on the specific requirements of the printing press and the type of paper being used. Different printing presses may have different color capabilities and limitations, and different types of paper may absorb ink differently. Therefore, it is important to consider these factors when selecting the CMYK settings to ensure accurate and desirable color reproduction in the printed material.
