What is the difference between contrast and brightness?

  1. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while brightness is the overall lightness or darkness of an image.

  2. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while brightness is the difference between the lightest and darkest colors in an image.

  3. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while brightness is the difference between the lightest and darkest tones in an image.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of an image. Brightness is the overall lightness or darkness of an image.

What are the three main types of contrast?

  1. Lightness contrast, color contrast, and saturation contrast.

  2. Lightness contrast, color contrast, and sharpness contrast.

  3. Lightness contrast, color contrast, and texture contrast.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The three main types of contrast are lightness contrast, color contrast, and saturation contrast.

What is lightness contrast?

  1. The difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  2. The difference in color between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  3. The difference in saturation between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lightness contrast is the difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

What is color contrast?

  1. The difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  2. The difference in color between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  3. The difference in saturation between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Color contrast is the difference in color between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

What is saturation contrast?

  1. The difference in brightness between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  2. The difference in color between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

  3. The difference in saturation between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Saturation contrast is the difference in saturation between the lightest and darkest parts of an image.

How can contrast be used to create visual interest?

  1. By creating a focal point.

  2. By creating a sense of depth.

  3. By creating a sense of movement.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Contrast can be used to create visual interest by creating a focal point, a sense of depth, and a sense of movement.

How can contrast be used to create a focal point?

  1. By placing a light-colored object against a dark background.

  2. By placing a dark-colored object against a light background.

  3. By placing an object with a high contrast edge against a background with a low contrast edge.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Contrast can be used to create a focal point by placing a light-colored object against a dark background, by placing a dark-colored object against a light background, or by placing an object with a high contrast edge against a background with a low contrast edge.

How can contrast be used to create a sense of depth?

  1. By placing a light-colored object in the foreground and a dark-colored object in the background.

  2. By placing a dark-colored object in the foreground and a light-colored object in the background.

  3. By placing an object with a high contrast edge in the foreground and an object with a low contrast edge in the background.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Contrast can be used to create a sense of depth by placing a light-colored object in the foreground and a dark-colored object in the background, by placing a dark-colored object in the foreground and a light-colored object in the background, or by placing an object with a high contrast edge in the foreground and an object with a low contrast edge in the background.

How can contrast be used to create a sense of movement?

  1. By placing a moving object against a stationary background.

  2. By placing a stationary object against a moving background.

  3. By placing an object with a high contrast edge against a background with a low contrast edge.


Correct Option:
Explanation:

Contrast can be used to create a sense of movement by placing a moving object against a stationary background, by placing a stationary object against a moving background, or by placing an object with a high contrast edge against a background with a low contrast edge.

What is the difference between contrast and dynamic range?

  1. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while dynamic range is the range of brightness values that can be captured in an image.

  2. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while dynamic range is the range of colors that can be captured in an image.

  3. Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while dynamic range is the range of tones that can be captured in an image.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast is the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of an image, while dynamic range is the range of brightness values that can be captured in an image.

What is the relationship between contrast and exposure?

  1. Contrast is increased when exposure is increased.

  2. Contrast is decreased when exposure is increased.

  3. Contrast is unaffected by exposure.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast is increased when exposure is increased because the lightest parts of the image become lighter and the darkest parts of the image become darker.

What is the relationship between contrast and aperture?

  1. Contrast is increased when aperture is increased.

  2. Contrast is decreased when aperture is increased.

  3. Contrast is unaffected by aperture.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast is increased when aperture is increased because a smaller aperture creates a greater depth of field, which makes the lightest parts of the image lighter and the darkest parts of the image darker.

What is the relationship between contrast and shutter speed?

  1. Contrast is increased when shutter speed is increased.

  2. Contrast is decreased when shutter speed is increased.

  3. Contrast is unaffected by shutter speed.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Contrast is unaffected by shutter speed because shutter speed only affects the brightness of the image, not the difference between the lightest and darkest parts of the image.

What is the relationship between contrast and ISO?

  1. Contrast is increased when ISO is increased.

  2. Contrast is decreased when ISO is increased.

  3. Contrast is unaffected by ISO.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Contrast is increased when ISO is increased because ISO increases the sensitivity of the camera's sensor to light, which makes the lightest parts of the image lighter and the darkest parts of the image darker.
