In adjustments, what is the biggest function of the highlights in levels?
to increase the contrast of the image.
What does clipping mean?
Loss in detail.
When either the highlights disappear off the right side of the histogram and are blown out, or conversely, the shadows extend beyond the left side of the histogram- either results in a loss of detail.
What does the Gamma value let us do?
Enables you to adjust how an image is displayed on your monitor. This does not mean that the gamma setting is the same as the brightness setting. It only adjusts the dark tones.
What do photoshop levels do?
It is a tool which can move and stretch the brightness levels of an image histogram. It has the power to adjust brightness, contrast, and tonal range by specifying the location of complete black, complete white, and midtones in a histogram.
What is a histogram?
a histogram panel displays the tonal range (also referred to as the key type) of an image. It shows how the pixels are distributed by graphing the number of pixels at each of the 256 brightness levels in an image.
The level command gives you ____ points of control.
3, a black, a white, and a gamma value in between
What is the levels tool for?
To change the contrast and the gamma value
Gamma correction
often simply gamma, is a nonlinear operation used to encode and decode luminance or tristimulus values in video or still image systems.
What is the curves adjustment?
You adjust the points throughout an images tonal range. the image’s tonality is represented as a straight diagonal line on a graph. When adjusting an RGB image, the upper-right area of the graph represents the highlights and the lower-left area represents the shadows

What is anti-alias in photoshop?
Anti-aliasing is the smoothing of jagged edges in digital images by averaging the colors of the pixels at a boundary. (creates soft edges)
In computer graphics, antialiasing is a software technique for diminishing jaggies - stairstep-like lines that should be smooth. Jaggies occur because the output device, the monitor or printer, doesn’t have a high enough resolution to represent a smooth line. … Antialiasing is sometimes called oversampling.
What is contiguous in photoshop?
The “Contiguous” option you see in Photoshop when you use the “Magic Wand,” the “Magic Eraser,” the “Background Eraser,” the “Paint Bucket” and other tools. Basically, “contiguous” means touching or connected. In Photoshop, it describes pixels of the same color touching each other. (turning it off allows you the pick up all the same color pixels with a magic wand tool)
Sample all layers checkbox
Allows you to sample all the layers beneath the active layer you’ve selected.
Sample All Layers default is de-selected. That means the tool will sample pixels from the active layer only. You’ll find the Sample All Layers option in many of Photoshops retouching tools including the Clone Stamp, Blur, Sharpen, Smudge, both Healing brushes, and even the Magic Wand.
What is choke in photoshop?
To choke an object you would typically put a white outline around an object which would make the object a little skinnier.
Dissolve mode dithers
translucency

What’s the best blend mode to preserve natural shadows cast onto white backgrounds, and how you can blend in black and white logos, type treatments, and line art.
Multiply Blend Mode
The name of the category for Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, Linear Dodge(add), and Lighter color are called ______ modes because…
Lighten mode because the active layer lightens the ones below it.
Lighten Screen Color Dodge Linear Dodge Lighter Color

The name of the category for Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, Vivid Light, Linear Light, Pin Light, and Hard mix are called ______ modes because
Contrast modes because these combination of the darken and lighten modes increase the contrast of the composite image.
Within the darken modes, what is their neutral color?
White, every pixels darkens except for white.
Within the lighten modes, what is their neutral color?
Black, every pixels lightens except for black.
Within contrast modes, what is their neutral color?
50% gray, 50% darker than gray ends up darkening. 50% lighter than gray ends brightening.
Overlay, Soft Light, and Hard Light are combinations of
Multiply and Screen working together
Vivid Light is a combination of
Color Burn and Color Dodge
Linear Light is a combination of
Linear Burn and Linear Dodge
Pin Light is a combination of
Darken and Lighten
The name of the category for Difference, Exclusion, Subtract, and Divide is called
Inversion + Cancellation.
Difference and Exclusion: The active layer inverts the ones below it (Similar colors become black or grayish).
Subtract + Divide: The active layer from those below it
The name of the category for Hue, Saturation, Color, and Luminosity is called?
Component modes

What is Color Range?

The highlights
In curves adjustment tool, the lower-left area represents what?
