What is the purpose of a mask in compositing images?

A). To control visibility of specific parts of a layer.

B). To resize images.

C). To add text to images.

D). To change file formats.

How does a radial gradient differ from a linear gradient?

A). A radial gradient radiates color outward from a central point, while a linear gradient transitions colors in a straight line.

B). A radial gradient transitions colors in a straight line, while a linear gradient radiates color outward from a central point.

C). A radial gradient is used for text effects, while a linear gradient is used for image backgrounds.

D). A linear gradient creates a circular pattern, while a radial gradient creates a straight line.

What effect does the 'Overlay' blending mode have in compositing?

A). It blends colors and tones of the top layer with the base layer, creating a mix of both.

B). It brightens the image by applying a white overlay.

C). It adds a shadow effect to the image.

D). It darkens the image by applying a black overlay.

What is the purpose of a clipping path in graphic design?

A). To isolate objects or remove backgrounds from images.

B). To add noise to images.

C). To apply filters to images.

D). To duplicate layers in a design.

How can you create a smooth transition between colors in Photoshop?

A). By using gradients.

B). By applying filters.

C). By resizing the image.

D). By adding noise to the image.

How are masks used in compositing?

A). To control visibility of specific parts of a layer.

B). To adjust color tones.

C). To create 3D effects.

D). To enhance typography.

What is a clipping path?

A). A vector-based outline used to define the visible area of an image.

B). A type of brush

C). A layering technique

D). An animation effect

In a linear gradient, how does the color transition occur?

A). In a straight line from one color to another.

B). In a circular pattern around a central point.

C). In an angular fashion like a pie chart.
