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

    This is fun Tipper!! :D I think it could be a very useful study tool for anyone looking to take the Photoshop ACE too!

  2. Greyson TipSquirrel on July 5, 2010 at 8:24 pm

    Great minds Firgy… I was going to try and get hold of some sample questions for that very reason :)

    Glad you like it, it seems to be going down well

  3. elorg on July 7, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    14/20 – not horribly bad :)

  4. Greyson TipSquirrel on July 7, 2010 at 10:56 pm

    Above average from the feedback I’ve had :)

  5. Vijay Selvam on July 8, 2010 at 10:11 am

    Lots of gotchya’s in there.. 12/20
    Would have to try harder next time.. :D

  6. Lisa on July 9, 2010 at 5:58 am

    That was fun, and I’d love to see more quizzes. I officially scored a 19, but I really knew the answer I missed (B = brightness in LAB) – just clicked on the wrong one. I’m pleased with that. I have been cramming my brain with Photoshop the past two years, and I’m finally remembering things now. :-)

  7. Glenna on July 9, 2010 at 3:01 pm

    TS, this was a great quiz. I got 14 of 20 – you nabbed me on some of your trickster questions! It’s a great learning tool, as well. I suspect that most people who missed a question on this one, wouldn’t miss it the next time. Bring on some more! Cheers.

  8. José Gonçalves on July 14, 2010 at 11:55 am

    Coool “You scored 18 out of 20……’” But in LAB color space B is the yellow/ blue Channel, although i clicked “Nothing is just a label” if you ask “In Lab B represents what channel” it would be more challenging. Just a suggestion :-) But it was fun to do it. MORE PLEASE.

  9. Ron on July 16, 2010 at 7:58 pm

    Fantastic exresize! Fun too. More, more, more!

    Congratulations – you have completed Photoshop Quiz 1. You scored 16 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Very Good’
    :)

  10. Shelley on July 18, 2010 at 5:12 am

    16/20 – which I’m very pleased about since I have PS Elements, not the full Photoshop, and would consider myself an advanced beginner. Perhaps I can promote myself to intermediate?!

  11. Manuel Romero on July 21, 2010 at 6:24 pm

    Hey, 15/20.
    I’m not feeling so bad but…I’ll be back!
    ;)

  12. lea on July 21, 2010 at 6:34 pm

    Very funny, a little bit tricky sometimes; but in average funny.

  13. Ferdinando Christian on July 21, 2010 at 6:34 pm

    teeheeee….. 15/20 of my answer is right…
    lol lol lol

  14. jango on July 21, 2010 at 6:51 pm

    this quiz was fantastic!
    it does teach you new things!
    keep coming up with more such things!
    and i scored 13-competent..not bad i think ;)

  15. Simon on July 21, 2010 at 6:57 pm

    Cool! I got 18 out of 20. Color swatches and spell check messed me up – both tasks I rarely if ever do.

  16. Sojan Chacko on July 21, 2010 at 7:06 pm

    great man…. you put some brain with fun

  17. Gianni on July 21, 2010 at 7:06 pm

    12/20…
    … I have to improve my knowledge about PS! :D

  18. Robby on July 21, 2010 at 7:08 pm

    I like this! more more..

  19. tiberious on July 21, 2010 at 7:10 pm

    Shows how little i know :(

  20. Krzysztof Panas on July 21, 2010 at 7:39 pm

    “You scored 20 out of 20.” I can live with that ;)

  21. ameer adel on July 21, 2010 at 7:51 pm

    Congratulations – you have completed Photoshop Quiz 1. You scored 17 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Very Good’

  22. Paul McFarland on July 21, 2010 at 7:55 pm

    Fun quiz. I am only a beginner as can be seen by my 10/20 but I enjoyed it and learned a thing or two. Keep up the good work.

  23. martindoersch on July 21, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    19/20… the aligning killed the 100% score.
    “Congratulations – you have completed Photoshop Quiz 1. You scored 19 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Excellent’”

  24. Brian on July 21, 2010 at 8:18 pm

    13 of 20 competent…Wooo-Hooo

    Working on it !!

  25. sylvie on July 21, 2010 at 8:24 pm

    Good exercice except every keyboard are not working in the same way. I can not get the « [ » sign on mine unless I find the complicate key combination.

    It’s a good way to take the time to learn quicker way to work. Like when I want to create a new layer out of an existing layer, I habitually use the control clic on layer to get the menu wich permit to create on but the way you showed here is quicker.

  26. Dustin Shannon on July 21, 2010 at 9:23 pm

    I enjoyed it because I learned 3 new useful shortcuts that I did not know about. Thanks! :)

  27. TheDarkIn1978 on July 21, 2010 at 9:41 pm

    ouf! 9/20! i feel like such a failure. LOL

  28. Amir on July 21, 2010 at 9:53 pm

    amazing, but many of the questions were about shortcuts which i barely use them and so my score became awkward…
    however it was very nice and helpful for myself to estimate my knowledge about photoshop, which i always consider myself as an upper intermediate user, and i am thinking that i should practice more, and maybe remember some shortcuts.

  29. chris on July 21, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    15 out of 20, Better than average at least

  30. Adriano Gonfiantini on July 21, 2010 at 9:54 pm

    B isn’t the yellow/blue channel as José Gonçalves said, b (lowercase) represents that coordinate

  31. Nemanja on July 21, 2010 at 10:05 pm

    Cool quiz!
    I scored 10

  32. yoyo-master on July 21, 2010 at 10:14 pm

    “You scored 20 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Unbeatable’ ” – I love Photoshop ^____^ .

  33. Jo Prescott on July 21, 2010 at 10:57 pm

    This is a great learning too I really enjoyed it, even though I only scored 12 out of 20 I did learn a few things, so thanks and keep up the good work, I would like to add I am self taught when it comes to Photoshop and want to say how much I love this program.
    Cheers
    Jo :)

  35. Lukas on July 21, 2010 at 11:54 pm

    can’t agree with dotted line – it’s kind of trick – there is no native support for dottet line style

  36. jeffrey on July 22, 2010 at 12:22 am

    wow. 12 months off photoshop and i get 15/20? i guess 4 years of working isn’t really enough to know almost everything about this program.

  37. Sue on July 22, 2010 at 12:26 am

    Did okay – did learn a couple things and that is the very good part! Forgot about the dotted line – knew I could but couldn’t remember how.

    Congratulations – you have completed Photoshop Quiz 1. You scored 17 out of 20. Your performance have been rated as ‘Very Good’

  38. Diana on July 22, 2010 at 4:12 am

    14 out of 20 – not too bad…good, in fact! :) This was fun! I learned a few things and that I’m a good guesser sometimes!

  39. miguel on July 22, 2010 at 6:27 am

    12/20 What does that mean? I’m please with the score but how does that compare to everyone else :D

  40. dler on July 22, 2010 at 7:42 am

  45. alessandro on July 22, 2010 at 11:13 am

    to became a ACE you have to study …study then when you are right..stop and buy another book and you see that what you know is nothing…so you have to study and practice, practice and study than you can try do give the exam….fail no problem do again
    is only a money question
    but two times is a good score
    bye bye

    ACE photoshop

  46. Victor on July 22, 2010 at 12:20 pm

    Useful tool for us Junior Designers here in Tanzania,EAST AFRICA.We dont have colleges that provides such education up to a bachelors level.So for most of us we highly depend on the online education like this one,thank you.

  47. Laura Gilmore on July 22, 2010 at 12:51 pm

    Fun! I only got 16 out of 20, but ok, I know I’m not an expert – just love using PS.

  48. evan fotis on July 22, 2010 at 12:53 pm

    nice, actually in the fourth question i believe the correct one is “apply image” which is not listed..

  49. liezl reyes on July 22, 2010 at 3:04 pm

  50. liezl reyes on July 22, 2010 at 3:05 pm
