Color Theory
Alludes to the shading reflected from or transmitted through an article. It is estimated as an area on a shading wheel.
A large portion of the noticeable range of shading can be reproduced by blending red, green, and blue (RGB) light in differing sums.
Utilizing a shading wheel is a decent method to increase a superior comprehension of the connection between hues.
The human eye sees shading as far as three qualities—tone, immersion, and brilliance (HSB).
The brilliance worth is the relative softness or haziness of the shading.
Is the quality or virtue of the shading. Sometimes called chroma.
Two diverse shading models are utilized to change shading in Photoshop Elements.

How does the HSB color model differ from the RGB model?
The HSB model (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) is based on human perception of color, while the RGB model (Red, Green, Blue) is based on how devices like monitors display color by combining light. Adobe: Understanding HSB Color
What are the advantages of using vector graphics in Photoshop?
Vector graphics are resolution-independent, scalable without quality loss, and ideal for logos and icons due to their mathematical precision. Photoshop Essentials: Vectors and Shapes
Why is the GIF format suitable for animations?
The GIF format supports 8-bit color (256 colors), lossless compression, transparency, and animation, making it ideal for simple web graphics and short animations. Library of Congress: GIF Format
How do blending modes affect the appearance of layers in Photoshop?
Blending modes determine how a layer’s pixels interact with underlying pixels, altering color, brightness, or contrast for creative effects like overlays or shadows. Adobe Help: Blending Modes
