Photoshop - Week 2
WTAP 110 - Introduction to Photoshop: Working with Layers
| Question | Answer | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Layers | Individual elements or images stacked on top of each other in Photoshop, allowing for non-destructive editing and easier manipulation of separate parts of a design. | Using separate layers for text, images, and backgrounds in a project to edit each element independently. |
| Layer Properties | Characteristics and settings that can be adjusted for each layer, such as opacity, fill, and blending mode. | Adjusting the opacity of a text layer to make it semi-transparent. |
| Layer Styles | Effects that can be applied to layers to enhance their appearance, such as shadows, glows, and bevels. | Adding a drop shadow to a text layer to create depth. |
| Adjustment Layers | Layers that apply color and tonal adjustments to layers beneath them without permanently altering the original image. | Using an adjustment layer to change the brightness and contrast of an image. |
| Layer Masks | A tool that allows for non-destructive editing by concealing or revealing parts of a layer without permanently erasing any pixels. | Using a layer mask to blend two images together smoothly. |
| Clipping Masks | A group of layers to which a mask is applied, where the bottommost layer defines the visible boundaries of the entire group. | Creating a clipping mask to apply a texture only to a specific text layer. |
| Blending Modes | Settings that determine how a layer's pixels blend with the pixels of the layers beneath it. | Setting a layer's blending mode to "Multiply" to create a darkening effect. |
| Smart Objects | Layers that contain image data from raster or vector images, allowing for non-destructive scaling, rotation, and other transformations. | Converting a layer to a smart object to preserve its quality when resizing. |
| Destructive Editing | Editing that permanently alters the original image data, making it impossible to revert to the original state. | Using the eraser tool directly on an image layer, removing pixels permanently. |
| Non-Destructive Editing | Editing techniques that do not permanently alter the original image data, allowing for adjustments and reversibility. | Using adjustment layers and masks to edit an image without changing the original pixels. |
| Opacity | The transparency level of a layer, ranging from 0% (completely transparent) to 100% (completely opaque). | Reducing the opacity of a layer to make it see-through. |
| Photo Collage | A composite image made by combining multiple photos into one cohesive design. | Creating a photo collage by layering and blending different family photos. |
| Mood Board | A visual representation of a concept or theme, created by combining various images, colors, and text to convey a particular style or feeling. | Designing a mood board to capture the aesthetic for a new brand identity. |
