When describing resolution, what do the letters ppi stand for?
- A.
Photoshop pixel increments
- B.
Photoshop pixel inches
- C.
Pixels per inch
- D.
Photographic pixel inches
Correct Answer
C. Pixels per inchExplanation
The letters "ppi" stand for "pixels per inch." This term is used to describe the resolution of an image, specifically the number of pixels that are present within one inch of the image. It is a measure of the image's clarity and sharpness, with a higher ppi indicating a higher resolution image. The other options provided, such as "photoshop pixel increments" and "photoshop pixel inches," are not accurate explanations for the acronym "ppi" and are therefore incorrect.Rate this question:

You have set up a new, A4 page in Photoshop with a resolution of 300 ppi. You also have open and image which is 10cm by 10cm with a resolution of 150 ppi. What will happen when you drag and drop that image onto your A4 page?
- A.
The image will maintain the same dimensions - 10cm x 10cm
- B.
The image will shrink to half the size - 5cm x 5cm
- C.
The image will expand to double the size - 20cm x 20cm
Correct Answer
B. The image will shrink to half the size - 5cm x 5cmExplanation
Image size and resolution are very tricky and difficult to get your head around, but essential to understand so that you can control the quality of your outcomes.
As a general rule, if you wish to maintain the quality of an image then when you double the resolution, your dimensions must halve. If you halve the resolution, the dimensions can double.Rate this question:

File formats can be described as Lossy and Lossless. In essence, this means that when you save and image, it will either be compressed to a smaller file size (lossy) or it will keep all of the information assigned to it and therefore stay at exactly the same file size (lossless). Indicate which of the following are LOSSY file formats.
- A.
TIFF
- B.
Jpeg
- C.
Psd
- D.
Ai
- E.
Gif
Correct Answer
B. JpegExplanation
JPEG is a lossy file format. When an image is saved in JPEG format, it undergoes compression which results in a smaller file size. However, this compression also leads to a loss of some image quality. The degree of compression can be adjusted, with higher compression resulting in more loss of quality.Rate this question:

B. Select the appropriate resolution and colour mode
C. Clean the glass with a soft cloth
E. Put light pressure on the top of the scanner to ensure good contact with the glass.Explanation
Before scanning with an A4 flatbed scanner, it is recommended to execute a calibration between the scanner and the computer to ensure accurate color reproduction. Additionally, selecting the appropriate resolution and color mode is important to achieve the desired quality of the scan. Cleaning the glass with a soft cloth helps to remove any dust or smudges that can affect the scan's clarity. Finally, putting light pressure on the top of the scanner ensures good contact with the glass, resulting in a better quality scan.Rate this question:
