1. What type of brush must be used when layer masking and clone stamping?
A: The brush must be soft-edged, either 0% hardness or near 0% hardness.
2. What key on the keyboard is pressed to select an area to be cloned when using the Clone Stamp tool?
A: Option
3. Explain the difference between making a selection with the Lasso tool and creating a Path with the Pen tool.
A: The Lasso tool is free hand, and once you have released the mouse-click you can no longer edit the line, meaning that errors are common. Making a Path with the Pen tool allows you to make anchor points, do small sections at a time, and edit the path after finished so that it is more accurate.
4. What is the benefit of using a Layer Mask as opposed to using an Eraser?
A: A Layer Mask will essentially erase, but then you also have the ability to unmask that section as well, in case you masked ("erased") too much. With an eraser, though, you cannot recover what you erase unless you hit the "undo" key.
5. What is "non-destructive" editing and why is it an important approach for a photographer using Photoshop?
A: Non-destructive editing is editing a photograph in a way that the changes can be undone and reverted back to the original form. This is important for a photographer using Photoshop because if the client is not pleased with the work, the photographer can change it back.
