A Little Photoshop Multi Choice Quiz

By Greyson TipSquirrel

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

Based in the UK, TipSquirrel has what some have described as an 'unnatural obsession' with Photoshop. Although he spends his day either in Photoshop, reading about Photoshop or watching Photoshop Podcasts he's still not able to cobble together a reasonable tutorial himself. Fortunately, he has a talent for persuading very clever and articulate people to do that on his website. An avid Twitter fan TipSquirrel can often be found sharing links from TipSquirrel.com and other sites. This account also has him jibbering away about tea, scones, biscuits and anything else that randomly pops into his tiny little brain. For pure Photoshop links, TipSquirrel has a second Twitter account, Photoshop_nut. TipSquirrel is afraid of crows.

    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.

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

    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!

    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.
