Lesson 10 Quiz

Question 1

If you’re printing an image at 300 pixels per inch (ppi), and you want the print to be 3 inches wide and 2 inches high, how many pixels will you need for the image width?

Answer 1

900

Question 2

Your current image is three inches square at 300 ppi. You need it to be four inches square when printed so you can add a half-inch border around all four sides. What should you enter in the Image > Canvas Size dialog box for both the width and height?

Answer 2

Enter 300 pixels for both width and height with the Relative box selected.

Question 3

Why is it undesirable to resample an image larger than 150 to 200%?

Answer 3

The interpolation of pixels can make the image too soft to be usable.

Question 4

Under what circumstance should you use the Rectangular Marquee tool followed by the Image > Crop command instead of using the Crop tool?

Answer 4

Selecting a fixed-sized portion of an image (by width and height in pixels) so the image won’t be resampled.

Question 5

What happens when you change the pixels per inch (ppi) setting using the Image > Image Size command (with Resample not checked)?

Answer 5

You change the print resolution of the file.
