Competency Exam

Module 5: Controlling Digital Image Quality


  1. Changing the gamma and white point in your monitor set-up will change the:
      A. color values in the image file
      B. color of printed images
      C. appearance of the image on the monitor
      D. all of the above

  2. A histogram is a useful reference for color editing. It shows the:
      A. color hues
      B. color temperature
      C. image resolution
      D. distribution of tonal values

  3. Dot gain is a variable that is inherent in many halftone printing methods, and it can distort colors. Software allows you to compensate for dot gain. You can determine how much compensation to allow by:
      A. using a standard formula
      B. asking your printer
      C. using default values
      D. all of the above

  4. Gray component replacement and undercolor removal are two methods for:
      A. color management
      B. replacing unneeded color inks with black ink
      C. sharpening images
      D. image compression

  5. You have made a commitment to improve your color reproduction process. One important (and easy) way to limit variables is to:
      A. purchase new equipment
      B. standardize
      C. initiate statistical process control
      D. hire new personnel

  6. Color management requires that each device be operating properly to deliver consistent, predictable output. This is achieved through:
      A. calibration
      B. communication
      C. device color profiles
      D. device independent color

  7. Characterization is a color management process that measures the color capabilities of various devices and produces software modules called:
      A. linearization tools
      B. color transforms
      C. process control utilities
      D. device color profiles

  8. Color management systems control the transformation of color values throughout the reproduction process. An important framework for these transforms is the use of:
      A. device dependent color
      B. device independent color
      C. CMYK color space
      D. RGB color space

  9. Color gamuts differ. Most devices produce some colors outside the gamut of other devices. Color management software brings values that are out of gamut into the reproducible range by a process called:
      A. calibration
      B. profile compression
      C. gamut mapping
      D. color consolidation
