What happens if you increase contrast too much?

If contrast is increased too much, the image can lose details in shadows and highlights, making it look harsh or unnatural.

Can exposure and contrast filters be used together? Why?

Yes, they can be used together to improve an image. Exposure adjusts overall brightness, while contrast sharpens the difference between light and dark areas, making the image more vivid.

What does increasing exposure do to an image?

A Increases color saturation

B Makes the image darker

C Blurs the image

D Makes the image brighter

Increasing exposure adds more light, making the image brighter overall.

What effect does increasing contrast have?

A Increases the difference between light and dark areas

B Makes shadows lighter and highlights darker

C Reduces the difference between light and dark areas

D Changes the image color tone

Increasing contrast makes dark areas darker and light areas lighter, increasing the difference.

Which filter would you adjust to fix a photo that looks too dark?

A Exposure

B Saturation

C Blur

D Contrast

Exposure controls brightness, so increasing it can fix a dark photo.

What is a risk of setting contrast too high?

A Image becomes blurry

B Image loses details in shadows and highlights

C Image becomes too bright

D Colors become dull

Too much contrast can cause loss of detail in very dark or very bright areas.

Which two filters are commonly adjusted together to improve image clarity?

A Blur and saturation

B Hue and brightness

C Exposure and contrast

D Sharpness and noise

Exposure and contrast together adjust brightness and the difference between light and dark, improving clarity.

Explain how exposure and contrast filters affect an image and why you might adjust them.

Think about light and dark areas and overall brightness.

Describe what can happen if contrast is set too high and how to avoid it.

Too much difference between light and dark can hide details.
