What is the purpose of blending modes in compositing software?

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 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 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 type of gradients can be used in design?

A). Linear, Radial, Angular, Elliptical

B). Solid, Dotted, Dash, Double

C). Red, Green, Blue, Yellow

D). Square, Circle, Triangle, Rectangle

What role do blending modes play in compositing images?

A). They determine how layers blend and interact with each other.

B). They adjust image brightness.

C). They resize images.

D). They add text effects to images.

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.

D). In a random order determined by software algorithms.

How can gradients be used in UI design?

A). To create depth and enhance visual appeal.

B). To increase file size.

C). To reduce contrast in designs.

D). To change fonts in text.

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.

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.

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.
