  3. To make the colors in a print look more muted and desaturated.

  4. To make the colors in a print look more contrasty.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Color correction is the process of adjusting the colors in a print to make them match the colors in the original image. This is done to ensure that the print is an accurate representation of the original image.

What are the three main types of color correction?

  1. Hue, saturation, and lightness.

  2. Red, green, and blue.

  3. Cyan, magenta, and yellow.

  4. Black, white, and gray.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The three main types of color correction are hue, saturation, and lightness. Hue is the color itself, saturation is the intensity of the color, and lightness is the brightness of the color.

What is the difference between hue and saturation?

  1. Hue is the color itself, while saturation is the intensity of the color.

  2. Hue is the brightness of the color, while saturation is the intensity of the color.

  3. Hue is the color itself, while saturation is the lightness of the color.

  4. Hue is the brightness of the color, while saturation is the lightness of the color.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hue is the color itself, while saturation is the intensity of the color. Saturation can range from 0% to 100%, with 0% being completely desaturated (gray) and 100% being fully saturated (pure color).

What is the difference between lightness and saturation?

  1. Lightness is the brightness of the color, while saturation is the intensity of the color.

  2. Lightness is the color itself, while saturation is the intensity of the color.

  3. Lightness is the brightness of the color, while saturation is the lightness of the color.

  4. Lightness is the color itself, while saturation is the lightness of the color.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lightness is the brightness of the color, while saturation is the intensity of the color. Lightness can range from 0% to 100%, with 0% being completely black and 100% being completely white.

What is the purpose of using a color profile when printing?

  1. To ensure that the colors in a print match the colors in the original image.

  2. To make the colors in a print look more vibrant and saturated.

  3. To make the colors in a print look more muted and desaturated.

  4. To make the colors in a print look more contrasty.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A color profile is a set of data that describes the color characteristics of a particular device, such as a printer. When you use a color profile, the printer knows how to accurately reproduce the colors in the original image.

What are the two main types of color profiles?

  1. ICC profiles and sRGB profiles.

  2. Adobe RGB profiles and ProPhoto RGB profiles.

  3. CMYK profiles and RGB profiles.

  4. Lab profiles and XYZ profiles.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The two main types of color profiles are ICC profiles and sRGB profiles. ICC profiles are more accurate and versatile than sRGB profiles, but they are also more complex to use.

What is the difference between an ICC profile and an sRGB profile?

  1. ICC profiles are more accurate and versatile than sRGB profiles.

  2. sRGB profiles are more accurate and versatile than ICC profiles.

  3. ICC profiles are more complex to use than sRGB profiles.

  4. sRGB profiles are more complex to use than ICC profiles.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

ICC profiles are more accurate and versatile than sRGB profiles. ICC profiles can be used to accurately reproduce a wider range of colors than sRGB profiles, and they are also more resistant to color shifts.

What is the purpose of using a soft proof when printing?

  1. To see how the colors in a print will look before it is actually printed.

  2. To make the colors in a print look more vibrant and saturated.

  3. To make the colors in a print look more muted and desaturated.

  4. To make the colors in a print look more contrasty.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A soft proof is a digital simulation of a print. It allows you to see how the colors in a print will look before it is actually printed. This can help you to identify any potential problems with the color correction or the printing process.

What are the three main types of soft proofs?

  1. On-screen proofs, hardcopy proofs, and press proofs.

  2. ICC proofs, sRGB proofs, and Lab proofs.

  3. CMYK proofs, RGB proofs, and Lab proofs.

  4. Adobe RGB proofs, ProPhoto RGB proofs, and Lab proofs.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The three main types of soft proofs are on-screen proofs, hardcopy proofs, and press proofs. On-screen proofs are displayed on a computer monitor, hardcopy proofs are printed on a printer, and press proofs are printed on a printing press.

What is the difference between an on-screen proof and a hardcopy proof?

  1. On-screen proofs are displayed on a computer monitor, while hardcopy proofs are printed on a printer.

  2. On-screen proofs are more accurate than hardcopy proofs.

  3. Hardcopy proofs are more accurate than on-screen proofs.

  4. On-screen proofs are more expensive than hardcopy proofs.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

On-screen proofs are displayed on a computer monitor, while hardcopy proofs are printed on a printer. On-screen proofs are less accurate than hardcopy proofs because computer monitors cannot reproduce the full range of colors that can be printed on a printer.

What is the difference between a hardcopy proof and a press proof?

  1. Hardcopy proofs are printed on a printer, while press proofs are printed on a printing press.

  2. Hardcopy proofs are more accurate than press proofs.

  3. Press proofs are more accurate than hardcopy proofs.

  4. Hardcopy proofs are more expensive than press proofs.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Hardcopy proofs are printed on a printer, while press proofs are printed on a printing press. Press proofs are more accurate than hardcopy proofs because they are printed on the same type of paper and with the same type of ink that will be used in the final print run.

What is the purpose of using a color calibration tool when printing?

  1. To ensure that the colors in a print match the colors in the original image.

  2. To make the colors in a print look more vibrant and saturated.

  3. To make the colors in a print look more muted and desaturated.

  4. To make the colors in a print look more contrasty.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A color calibration tool is used to ensure that the colors in a print match the colors in the original image. This is done by adjusting the printer's color settings so that it accurately reproduces the colors in the original image.
