them to improve image focus and tone.
7) Differentiate between pixel-based and vector-based images, and create a
document using only vector elements.
8) Create, format, and edit text using the Type Tool and Character and
Paragraph palettes.
9) Create simple animations in GIF format for use on the Web.
10) Create and manage brush presets, including those with sampled brush
tips.
11) Experiment with at least five Filter Gallery filters to create special
effects in an image.
12) Choose which of the default Photoshop actions will provide a given
desired result, and apply that action to an image.
13) Examine at least two techniques for colorizing grayscale images, and
use these techniques to colorize a grayscale image.
14) Create a complex Photoshop document that includes vector elements,
adjustment layers, type, filters, and at least three different types
