About the Test

Adobe Photoshop is a software program that is used for editing and manipulating digital images. It is a powerful tool that is used by a wide range of professionals, including photographers, graphic designers, web designers, and artists. Adobe Photoshop has a wide range of features and tools that allow users to manipulate and enhance digital images in a variety of ways, including cropping, resizing, adjusting color and lighting, retouching, and combining multiple ideas. It also has a range of graphic design tools that can be used to create visual elements, such as logos, icons, and website elements.

Raster graphics editor Adobe Photoshop was created and distributed by Adobe Inc. The program has since established itself as the industry standard for raster graphics editing and digital art. Photoshop features masks, alpha compositing, and numerous color models, including RGB, spot color, and duotone, and it can edit and composite raster pictures on several layers. Photoshop employs its own PSD and PSB file formats to accommodate these functionalities. Photoshop has limited capabilities to edit or render text, vector graphics, 3D graphics, and video in addition to raster images. Plug-ins, applications created and released separately from Photoshop that operate inside of it and provide new or improved functionality, can expand its feature set.

Customer Satisfaction

Testlify helps you identify the best talent from anywhere in the world, with a seamless experience that candidates and hiring teams love every step of the way.

1

Layers

In Adobe Photoshop, layers are a way to separate different elements of an image or design into individual parts that can be edited and manipulated separately. For example, if you have a design with multiple text elements and images, you could put each text element and image on its layer. This allows you to make changes to one element without affecting the others, and it also makes it easier to rearrange the elements or to hide or show them as needed.

2

Colors

In Adobe Photoshop, colors can be added to an image or design using various tools and techniques. These may include the paint bucket tool, which fills an area with a solid color, the brush tool, which allows you to draw with color, and the color picker, which will enable you to select specific colors from an image or a color palette. Photoshop also has a wide range of color adjustment tools that allow you to adjust the hue, saturation, and luminosity of colors in an image.

3

Vector Graphics

Vector graphics are a type of graphic that is created using mathematical algorithms, rather than pixels. This allows vector graphics to be scaled up or down without losing quality, which makes them useful for creating graphics that will be used in different sizes, such as logos or icons. Adobe Photoshop has a range of tools and features for creating and editing vector graphics, including the pen tool, which allows you to make precise paths, and the shape tools, which enables you to create basic geometric shapes.

4

Basics

The term “basics” can refer to a variety of foundational concepts or skills that are relevant to using Adobe Photoshop. This might include understanding the interface and tools of the software, learning how to create and manipulate layers, working with colors and color adjustment tools, and using selection tools to isolate specific parts of an image for editing. Understanding the basics of Photoshop is important for anyone who wants to use the software effectively, and it is often the starting point for learning more advanced techniques.

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
