Which of these editing techniques is commonly used to adjust saturation?

  1. Color balance

  2. Levels

  3. Curves

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Color balance, levels, and curves are all editing techniques that can be used to adjust saturation in images and videos.

What is the relationship between saturation and color temperature?

  1. They are directly proportional.

  2. They are inversely proportional.

  3. They are independent of each other.

  4. They have a logarithmic relationship.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Saturation and color temperature are independent of each other, meaning that changes in one do not directly affect the other.

In video production, what is the term used to describe the process of adjusting saturation?

  1. Color grading

Which of these is not a common method for adjusting saturation in digital photography?

  1. Using a saturation slider in editing software

  2. Adjusting the white balance

  3. Changing the camera's ISO setting

  4. Using a polarizing filter


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Changing the camera's ISO setting does not directly affect saturation.

What is the relationship between saturation and brightness?

  1. They are directly proportional.

  2. They are inversely proportional.

  3. They are independent of each other.
