  1. 2. An image composed of two colors, often used to create mood or contrast in design.
  2. 4. A color model used in printing where colors are created by mixing cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink.
  3. 5. A Photoshop feature that remaps the brightness levels of an image to a custom gradient, applying a smooth transition between two or more colors.
  4. 7. Settings in Photoshop that determine how layers interact with each other in terms of color, light, and shadow. Examples include Multiply, Overlay, and Soft Light.
  5. 10. A tool that allows adjustments to specific color ranges (e.g., only red tones) without affecting other colors in the image.
  6. 12. (Lightness)Refers to how light or dark a color appears. Increasing brightness makes a color appear lighter, and decreasing it makes it darker.
  7. 13. A color model used for digital displays, where colors are created by mixing different intensities of red, green, and blue light.
  8. 14. The quality of a color in terms of lightness or darkness, often altered using brightness adjustments or color balance tools.
  9. 16. The transparency level of an image or layer. 100% opacity means the image is fully visible, while lower percentages make it increasingly transparent.
  10. 18. A tool in Photoshop used to adjust the overall mixture of colors in the image, focusing on shadows, midtones, and highlights.

  1. 1. A color scheme using variations in lightness and saturation of a single color.
  2. 3. Another adjustment tool that allows users to fine-tune the contrast and color balance by adjusting the intensity levels of shadows, midtones, and highlights.
  3. 4. Colors located directly opposite each other on the color wheel, which, when combined, create high contrast and vibrant visuals (e.g., red and green).
  4. 5. A smooth transition between two or more colors, often used to add depth or lighting effects to an image.
  5. 6. The difference between the darkest and lightest areas of an image. High contrast makes shadows darker and highlights brighter, while low contrast reduces the difference between them.
  6. 8. A technique used to hide or reveal parts of an image or layer by applying grayscale values. White reveals, black conceals, and gray allows partial transparency.
  7. 9. The color or shade in its purest form, represented by its position on the color wheel (e.g., red, blue, yellow).
  8. 11. A Photoshop tool used to adjust the brightness and contrast of an image by manipulating points on a graph to control the shadows, midtones, and highlights.
  9. 15. A tool in Photoshop that increases the intensity of muted colors while protecting skin tones and colors that are already saturated.
  10. 17. The intensity or purity of a color. High saturation means vivid, rich colors, while low saturation results in dull or washed-out colors.
