Que:3 Short Answer Type Questions.

Q:1 What is Image Editing?
Ans: The image editing process is also called image re-touching. It is a process by which we make
required changes to the images stored in digital format. We often make these changes to make the
pictures look better. While editing the image, we can perform various tasks on the image such as:
enlarging or shrinking the image size, adjusting the brightness and contrast, crop, rotate, flip etc. For
these tasks we use image editing software in the computer. For example: Photoshop, GIMP, etc.

Q:2 What are masks?

Ans: Masking or mask means a new separate layer that is created to set the transparency of another
layer. Using the mask layer, we can hide that part of the main layer that we want to edit. Therefore, the
editing that will be done after applying the mask will be applied only on that part of the main layer
which is defined by the mask. Using a mask does not damage the main layer.

Q:3 How can a duplicate image be made?

Ans: Following are the steps to make a duplicate copy of image in GIMP:
1. Click on the Image menu.
2. Click on the Duplicate option
Duplicate copy of image can also be made using shortcut key CTRL + D.

Q:2 How to resize a picture in GIMP?

Ans: Layers means Stack of Slides. Layers are groups of sheets that appear on top of each other. An image
can be made up of more than one layer. The maximum number of layers depends on the memory
available in the computer. Each layer can be edited separately from the rest of the layers. Layers are
set on top of each other. The bottom layer is the background of the image. Layers can be easily set as

Layers Dialog Box. The Duplicate Layer Tool helps to create a duplicate copy of the active layer.

Q:4 How to create images for a website in GIMP?

Ans: GIMP software is commonly used to create images for web sites. The image used for the website
should be small in size and high in quality. The following are the steps to create an image for a website

2. We don't need an image alpha channel when we want to use an image for a website. We can
remove the alpha channel by flattening the image.
3. Use the Image  Flatten Image option to flatten the image.
4. After flattening the image, export the image in PNG format (File  Export As).

Q:5 What are Image Properties in GIMP?

Ans: When editing an image, it is important to know the properties of that image. To view the properties
of the image, we can click on Image → Properties or use the ALT + ENTER shortcut keys. Some of the
