What is the primary cause of halos and edge artifacts when sharpening an image?

Using a sharpening radius that is too large.
Applying too much sharpening overall.
Sharpening an image that is already sharp.
Using a sharpening algorithm that is not suited for the image.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended technique for sharpening an image?

Using a sharpening mask.
Applying sharpening selectively to specific areas of the image.
Using a high sharpening radius.
Adjusting the sharpening amount based on the image's resolution.

What is the main disadvantage of using a high sharpening amount?

Increased noise and grain in the image.
Loss of detail and texture.
Halos and edge artifacts.
All of the above.

Which sharpening algorithm is generally considered to be the most effective for most images?

Unsharp Mask
Median Filter
High-Pass Filter
Gaussian Blur

What is the purpose of applying sharpening selectively to specific areas of an image?

To enhance the sharpness of important details.
To reduce noise and grain in less important areas.
To create a sense of depth and focus.
All of the above.

When sharpening an image for print, what is the recommended resolution to use?

72 pixels per inch (ppi).
150 pixels per inch (ppi).
300 pixels per inch (ppi).
600 pixels per inch (ppi).

What is the primary cause of noise and grain in a sharpened image?

Using a sharpening algorithm that is not suited for the image.
Applying too much sharpening overall.
Sharpening an image that is already noisy.
All of the above.

Which of the following is NOT a common mistake to avoid when sharpening an image?

Sharpening an image that is already sharp.
Using a sharpening radius that is too small.
Applying sharpening selectively to specific areas of the image.
Adjusting the sharpening amount based on the image's resolution.

What is the main advantage of using a sharpening mask when sharpening an image?

It allows for more precise control over the sharpening process.
It reduces noise and grain in the image.
It enhances the sharpness of important details.
All of the above.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended technique for reducing noise and grain in a sharpened image?

Applying noise reduction before sharpening.
Using a sharpening algorithm that is designed to reduce noise.
Sharpening the image in multiple passes with a low sharpening amount.
Sharpening the image at a low resolution.

What is the main disadvantage of using a median filter for sharpening an image?

It can reduce noise and grain in the image.
It can enhance the sharpness of important details.
It can create a soft and blurry appearance.
It can increase the file size of the image.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended technique for sharpening an image for web use?

Using a sharpening radius of 1-2 pixels.
Applying sharpening selectively to specific areas of the image.
Using a sharpening algorithm that is designed for web images.
Sharpening the image at a low resolution.

What is the primary cause of halos and edge artifacts when sharpening an image using a high-pass filter?

Using a sharpening radius that is too large.
Applying too much sharpening overall.
Sharpening an image that is already sharp.
Using a high-pass filter with a low cutoff frequency.

Which of the following is NOT a recommended technique for sharpening an image for social media use?

Using a sharpening radius of 1-2 pixels.
Applying sharpening selectively to specific areas of the image.
Using a sharpening algorithm that is designed for social media images.
Sharpening the image at a high resolution.

What is the main advantage of using a Gaussian blur filter before sharpening an image?

It reduces noise and grain in the image.
It enhances the sharpness of important details.
It creates a soft and blurry appearance.
It increases the file size of the image.
