A Little Photoshop Multi Choice Quiz

By

Something a little different today, a quiz for you. 20 multiple choice questions testing your knowledge of Photoshop. There’s a ranges of, what I think are, easy and harder questions and some that are there just to try and catch you out!

This is the first time we’ve done anything like this on the site so I’d love to know what you think. This quiz was made with a plug-in but, if enough people want more I’d be happy to go a bit further with it and create something more sophisticated.

Have fun, feel free to pop your score in the comments box

    Congratulations – you have completed Photoshop Quiz 1. You scored 20 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Unbeatable’

    I guess the 8 years I have spent trying to make this program part of my just normal everyday life has finally paid off.

    Great quiz, really makes you think on a few of them. I agree about the Lab question, should have been a little more technical.

  5. Ian on July 23, 2010 at 10:45 am

    16/20. Learned a few tips through actually doing this quiz. Enjoyed!

  9. Laryl on July 29, 2010 at 7:27 am

    12/20 but a couple of my answers were duh stupid me, and in my defense a few of the questions were things I had no clue about because I don’t use them yet.. whew, that was harder than the second quiz (that I just did first). I either am dumber than everyone else or .. well guess I’m just dumber. :)

  10. Terri on July 30, 2010 at 11:31 am

    I shouldn’t have missed the LAB or the Path Tool. “You scored 12 out of 20. Your performance has been rated as ‘Competent’” Better next time.

  11. Angie on August 3, 2010 at 8:14 am

    Great quiz, Score: good, 14/20 not so bad. also learnt quite a bit.

  12. Bob on August 6, 2010 at 12:55 am

    I have been using Photoshop for a grand total of three months, so I think a score of 13/20 is not bad. Great quiz. I learned a lot!

  13. juan david gómez on August 6, 2010 at 1:38 am

  18. moshi on August 6, 2010 at 12:11 pm

    6/20 Fail – no surprise – I struggle to remember stuff in PS. Anyone got any recommendations for great ways to learn (primarily for photography)? Free would be perfect, else as cheap as possible.

  19. beeyemh on August 6, 2010 at 2:24 pm

    Great quiz

    I feel bad of my score.

  20. Matt S on August 6, 2010 at 8:56 pm

    :’(

  29. Drew on September 21, 2010 at 7:32 pm

    8/20…

    Embarrassing considering I’ve been using PS almost daily since CS2. Im not much of a keyboard shortcuts kind of guy. Thats what hurt me.

  30. TipSquirrel on September 21, 2010 at 9:18 pm

    Not embarrassing at all. Its amazing how much we do in Photoshop without really thinking about it. I can go straight to a menu item when I’m using it but ask me away from the computer and I’m all over the place.

  31. mmau on September 22, 2010 at 5:57 pm

    Thanks!

    “The Path Selection tool is an arrow, but which one?
    Black
    White
    This is one of those things that my brain just won’t remember. Anyone have a way that I could get it to sink in?”

    Maybe a wordplay
    “Blackall” / “Whiteone”

  32. Anuj on January 10, 2011 at 6:50 am

    Weeee i am ashamed of myself :(

  33. sohini dhara on October 13, 2011 at 1:59 pm
