DD2 Semester 1 Exam Review: Tuesday

What is the main use/function of Adobe Photoshop?

• Creating vector files, mathematical formulas, smooth lines and shapes, resolution independent

• Image manipulation, raster/bitmap files made of pixels, resolution dependent.

• Desktop publishing, multi-page documents using spreads and facing pages.

• Video-editing, series of still images that slightly change to create a sense of motion, layering video and audio files.

Which Adobe software is best suited for creating vector files, mathematical formulas, smooth lines and shapes, resolution independent?

• Adobe Photoshop

• Adobe Illustrator

• Adobe InDesign

• Adobe Premiere Pro

What is the primary function of Adobe InDesign?

• Image manipulation, raster/bitmap files made of pixels, resolution dependent.

• Creating vector files, mathematical formulas, smooth lines and shapes, resolution independent

• Desktop publishing, multi-page documents using spreads and facing pages.

• Video-editing, series of still images that slightly change to create a sense of motion, layering video and audio files.

What is an "artboard?"

• a physical piece of paper where you can use pencils or other tools to create amazing drawings and designs.

• a physical piece of canvas where a painter can use paint or other tools to create amazing paintings and murals.

• a wooden board sort of like a 2x4 where you can create art like doodle drawings.

• artboards do not exist in Adobe applications.

What are "Smart Guides" and why are they used?

• awesome people at an amusement park that will give you a tour and explain everything about the park

• a series of horizontal and vertical lines that create a circular grid on your design, that helps you get a better grade

• short algorithms that will create a design for you, sort of like an Ai rendering.

• dynamic visual indicators that appear when you move or resize objects, helping you align them with other objects or the canvas.

What is "resolution" when referring to Adobe applications?

• the size and shape of pixels in a raster image, calculated in DPI (dots per inch) or PPI (pixels per inch, refers to the quality of an image.

• the mathematical computations used when creating a vector image.

• there are no Adobe applications that use "resolution."

• a formal stating of an opinion in law.

Choose the correct description of a "raster-based application."

• uses smooth lines and shapes based on mathematical formulas, resolution independent, not a lot of detail, file sizes remain small, scalable

• uses pixels, resolution dependent, lots of detail, file sizes can get rather large, not scalable

Choose the correct description of a "vector-based application."

• uses smooth lines and shapes based on mathematical formulas, resolution independent, not a lot of detail, file sizes remain small, scalable

• uses pixels, resolution dependent, lots of detail, file sizes can get rather large, not scalable

What are the uses of a .PNG?

• great for images, supports transparency, lossless compression.

• good for images, does not support transparency, lossy compression.

• best file format for saving Microsoft Word documents.

What are the uses of a .TIFF?

• great for images, supports transparency, no compression, loved by photographers

• not good for images, does not support transparency, lossy compression.

• best file format for saving Microsoft Word documents.
