To colorize a layer, what blending mode would you change it to?
- A.
  
  Colorize.
- B.
  
  Color.
- C.
  
  Colored.
- D.
  
  Color Correction.
Correct Answer
B. Color.

Explanation
To colorize a layer, you would change the blending mode to "Color". This blending mode applies the hue and saturation values from the layer to the underlying layers, while preserving the brightness values of the underlying layers. It allows you to add color to an image or layer without affecting the overall brightness or contrast.

What do you change in the Layers Palette to allow you to see the layer below it?
- A.
  
  Opacity.
- B.
  
  Layer Priority.
- C.
  
  Layer Transparency.
- D.
  
  Transparency.
Correct Answer
A. Opacity.

Explanation
To see the layer below in the Layers Palette, you need to adjust the opacity. Opacity determines the transparency of a layer, so by reducing the opacity of the current layer, you can make it more transparent and reveal the layer beneath it. By increasing the opacity, you make the layer more opaque and hide the layers below.

What option would you use to hide pixels from a Layer instead of removing the pixels?
- A.
  
  Adjustment Layer.
- B.
  
  Layer Mask.
- C.
  
  Use the "Hide Pixels" tool.
- D.
  
  Create a Channel Layer.
Correct Answer
B. Layer Mask.

Explanation
A layer mask is used to hide certain parts of a layer without permanently removing the pixels. It allows for non-destructive editing by concealing areas of the layer while still preserving the original image. By painting on the layer mask with black, the corresponding pixels on the layer become hidden, and by painting with white, they become visible again. This provides flexibility in adjusting the visibility of specific parts of a layer without permanently deleting any pixels.
