25 An uncompressed 24-bit RGB bitmap image is pixels. Approximately how large is the raw pixel data?

26 A team debates between PNG and JPEG for storing a detailed photograph that will be shared online where small file size matters more than perfect fidelity. Which is the better fit and why?

27 Which statement correctly distinguishes lossless from lossy compression?

28 A student wants to digitize a printed photograph and old paper documents at high detail. Which input device is most suitable?

29 When scanning an image, a user increases the DPI (dots per inch) setting significantly. What is the most direct effect?

30 A user wants to convert a page of printed text into editable, searchable text after scanning it. Which technology is required?

31 A designer needs to draw freehand illustrations directly into the computer with pressure sensitivity. Which input device best supports this?

32 A digital camera photo is stored on an SD card. What is the most common way to transfer these images to a computer?

33 A scanned photo appears too dark and has a slight color tint compared to the original print. Which adjustment step is most appropriate to correct it?

34 A user must edit individual pixels of a photograph, retouch blemishes, and apply filters. Which type of graphics software is designed for this?

35 A logo designer wants artwork that stays crisp at any size and is defined by editable shapes and curves. Which software category fits best?

36 In image editing software, what is the main purpose of using layers?

37 A user wants to isolate a subject from its background in a photo so only the subject can be edited. Which tool concept is most directly used?

38 Which option lists elements that are ALL considered components of multimedia?

39 A museum kiosk lets visitors tap the screen to choose which exhibit video to watch. This is an example of which multimedia characteristic?

40 A user starts watching an online video and it begins playing almost immediately while the rest continues downloading in the background. What is this technique called?

41 A photographer saves the same 24-bit RGB image once as PNG-24 and once as baseline JPEG at quality 90. Both look identical on screen, but the JPEG file is far smaller. Which statement best explains the size difference?

42 You need a logo with a soft drop shadow that must blend smoothly over any web background color. Which format choice preserves the effect correctly and why?

43 An uncompressed 24-bit color image is pixels. What is its approximate raw file size?

44 A designer must animate a short 8-color loop that plays automatically in an email client with limited format support. Which format is the most appropriate?

45 Why does repeatedly opening a JPEG, making a small edit, and re-saving it as JPEG progressively degrade image quality?

46 Which situation most clearly favors a vector format (e.g., SVG) over a raster format?

47 A GIF image showing a smooth photographic sky exhibits visible stepped bands of color. What is the root cause?

48 You scan a inch photo at dpi. What are the approximate pixel dimensions of the resulting image?

49 A user scans a printed magazine photo and notices a distracting wavy interference pattern across the image. What causes this, and what is a common fix?

50 A digital camera lists a sensor as "12 megapixels." If the image aspect ratio is , what are the approximate pixel dimensions?

51 For archiving delicate documents you want maximum captured detail with no lossy compression. Which acquisition setting combination is most appropriate?

52 A scanner advertises " optical, dpi interpolated." Why can scanning at dpi fail to reveal more genuine detail than dpi?

53 A team must edit a photo with layers and non-destructive adjustments, then also produce a resolution-independent icon. Which software pairing fits the two tasks best?

54 In a raster paint program, why does scaling a small bitmap up by 400% look blocky, while doing the same in a vector program stays crisp?

55 An editor wants to brighten only the shadows of a photo repeatedly without permanently altering the original pixels. Which feature best supports this workflow?

56 Why is CMYK the appropriate working color mode for artwork destined for commercial print, whereas RGB suits screen output?
