What is the purpose of a mask in compositing images?

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.

How do clipping paths differ from masks?

A). Clipping paths define visible areas while masks control transparency.

B). Clipping paths blur edges while masks sharpen edges.

C). Clipping paths add text effects while masks adjust colors.

D). Clipping paths apply filters while masks resize images.

What is a common use of gradients in graphic design?

A). Creating smooth transitions between colors.

B). Adding noise to images.

C). Removing color from images.

D). Duplicating layers in a design.

What is the purpose of blending modes in compositing software?

A). To determine how layers interact with each other.

B). To resize images.

C). To add text to images.

D). To change file formats.

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

How can you remove a background from an image using a clipping path?

A). By defining a vector-based outline around the subject.

B). By erasing the background with a brush.

C). By applying filters to the image.

D). By changing the image resolution.

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 do clipping paths differ from selection tools in image editing software?

A). Clipping paths create vector-based outlines, while selection tools create pixel-based selections.

B). Clipping paths adjust image brightness, while selection tools resize images.

C). Clipping paths apply filters to images, while selection tools add noise.

D). Clipping paths duplicate layers, while selection tools remove backgrounds.

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.
