Read the first 7 Vector Tools, Type, and Libraries flashcards as text

  1. When you hold Shift while drawing an Ellipse shape in Photoshop, what constraint is applied?

    Answer: The ellipse is constrained to a perfect circle

    Holding Shift while dragging any shape tool constrains proportions, making an ellipse a perfect circle.

  2. In Photoshop's Glyphs panel, how do you insert an alternate glyph for a character that has OpenType alternates?

    Answer: Double-click the alternate glyph in the Glyphs panel while the cursor is in the text

    Double-clicking an alternate in the Glyphs panel inserts it at the cursor position in the active text layer.

  3. What is the effect of increasing the 'Tracking' value in Photoshop's Character panel to a positive number?

    Answer: Space is added uniformly between all selected characters

    Positive tracking values add uniform letter-spacing across all selected characters or the entire text layer.

  4. Which method correctly exports a vector Shape layer from Photoshop while preserving crisp edges at any resolution?

    Answer: File > Export > Paths to Illustrator

    'Paths to Illustrator' exports the vector path data as an AI file, maintaining full vector fidelity.

  5. A Creative Cloud Library color swatch appears with a small cloud icon with a line through it. What does this indicate?

    Answer: The Library asset is offline and not synced to the cloud

    A cloud icon with a line through it means CC Libraries is offline or the asset hasn't synced due to connectivity issues.

  6. What happens to a type layer when you choose Layer > Type > Convert to Shape in Photoshop?

    Answer: Each character becomes a vector shape path on a Shape layer, and the text is no longer editable as type

    Convert to Shape turns each letter into a vector path on a Shape layer, permanently removing type-editing capability.

  7. Which Photoshop tool allows you to click anywhere on a closed path to add a new anchor point without switching tools?

    Answer: Standard Pen tool (auto-detects path hover)

    When hovering over an existing path segment, the standard Pen tool automatically switches to 'add anchor point' mode.
