What is the purpose of white balance in color correction?

  1. To adjust the overall brightness of an image

  2. To correct the color temperature of an image

  3. To remove unwanted color casts

  4. To enhance the contrast of an image


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

White balance is used to correct the color temperature of an image, ensuring that white objects appear white under different lighting conditions.

Which tool is commonly used to adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image?

  1. Levels

  2. Curves

  3. Hue/Saturation

  4. Vibrance


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Levels is a tool commonly used to adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image by manipulating the black point, white point, and midtones.

What is the difference between hue, saturation, and lightness?

  1. Hue is the color, saturation is the intensity of the color, and lightness is the brightness of the color

  2. Hue is the brightness of the color, saturation is the color, and lightness is the intensity of the color

  3. Hue is the intensity of the color, saturation is the color, and lightness is the brightness of the color

  4. Hue is the color, saturation is the brightness of the color, and lightness is the intensity of the color


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hue is the color, saturation is the intensity of the color, and lightness is the brightness of the color.

What is the purpose of a color grading LUT?

  1. To apply a specific color palette to an image

  2. To adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image

  3. To remove unwanted color casts

  4. To correct the white balance of an image


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A color grading LUT (Lookup Table) is used to apply a specific color palette to an image, allowing for creative color adjustments.

Which color space is commonly used for print media?

  1. RGB

  2. CMYK

  3. YCbCr

  4. XYZ


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is the most commonly used color space for print media, as it is the color space used by most printers.

What is the purpose of gamma correction in color correction?

  1. To adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image

  2. To correct the color temperature of an image

  3. To remove unwanted color casts

  4. To compensate for the non-linear response of display devices


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Gamma correction is used to compensate for the non-linear response of display devices, ensuring that the image is displayed correctly on different devices.

Which tool is commonly used to adjust the individual color channels of an image?

  1. Levels

  2. Curves

  3. Hue/Saturation

  4. Vibrance


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Curves is a tool commonly used to adjust the individual color channels of an image by manipulating the tonal values.

What is the difference between primary and secondary colors?

  1. Primary colors are the colors that can be mixed to create all other colors, while secondary colors are the colors that are created by mixing primary colors

  2. Primary colors are the colors that cannot be mixed to create other colors, while secondary colors are the colors that are created by mixing primary colors

  3. Primary colors are the colors that are created by mixing secondary colors, while secondary colors are the colors that cannot be mixed to create other colors

  4. Primary colors are the colors that are created by mixing tertiary colors, while secondary colors are the colors that are created by mixing primary colors


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Primary colors are the colors that can be mixed to create all other colors, while secondary colors are the colors that are created by mixing primary colors.

What is the purpose of color management in color correction?

  1. To ensure that colors are displayed consistently across different devices

  2. To adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image

  3. To remove unwanted color casts

  4. To correct the white balance of an image


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Color management is used to ensure that colors are displayed consistently across different devices, taking into account the different color capabilities of each device.

Which color space is commonly used for video production?

  1. RGB

  2. CMYK

  3. YCbCr

  4. XYZ


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

YCbCr (Y Luminance, Cb Blue Chrominance, Cr Red Chrominance) is the most commonly used color space for video production, as it is the color space used by most video cameras and monitors.

What is the purpose of a color wheel in color correction?

  1. To adjust the overall brightness and contrast of an image

  2. To correct the color temperature of an image

  3. To remove unwanted color casts

  4. To visualize the relationships between different colors


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A color wheel is used to visualize the relationships between different colors, helping colorists to make informed decisions about color adjustments.

Which tool is commonly used to adjust the saturation and vibrance of an image?

  1. Levels

  2. Curves

  3. Hue/Saturation

  4. Vibrance


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Hue/Saturation is a tool commonly used to adjust the saturation and vibrance of an image, allowing for creative color adjustments.

What is the difference between additive and subtractive color mixing?

  1. Additive color mixing is the process of combining light to create colors, while subtractive color mixing is the process of removing light to create colors

  2. Additive color mixing is the process of removing light to create colors, while subtractive color mixing is the process of combining light to create colors

  3. Additive color mixing is the process of mixing pigments to create colors, while subtractive color mixing is the process of mixing light to create colors

  4. Additive color mixing is the process of mixing light to create colors, while subtractive color mixing is the process of mixing pigments to create colors


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Additive color mixing is the process of combining light to create colors, while subtractive color mixing is the process of removing light to create colors.
