4. what program would you use to insert the copyright symbol (©) in the text in your image?
5. how are the type mask tools different from the other two type tools?
6. what setting on the character palette would you adjust to create a double - spaced look between several lines of text?
7. what is the difference between the kerning and tracking settings on the character palette?
8. how can you access opentype font features such as ordinals, ligatures, and fractions?
9. what is the roman hanging punctuation setting in the paragraph palette menu used for?
10. what does the term rasterize mean?
11. when using the line tool, if you want to create a line that is 10 pixels thick, what exactly should you enter in the weight: text box in the options bar?

Explanation:

1. Vector graphics use mathematical paths (scalable without quality loss); bitmap graphics use pixels (lose quality when scaled).
2. Bitmap graphics are also called raster graphics.
3. Create a new layer for each line of text, then add text to each layer.
4. Image editing software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop) with text tools can insert the copyright symbol.
5. Type mask tools create text-shaped selections (non-editable text as a mask) instead of live text layers.
6. Adjust the "Leading" setting on the Character palette.
7. Kerning adjusts space between specific character pairs; tracking adjusts space uniformly across all characters in a text block.
8. Access via the OpenType menu in the Character palette (for compatible fonts).
9. It prevents punctuation from hanging outside the text margin, aligning it with the text block.
10. Rasterize means converting vector/editable elements into pixel-based (bitmap) images.
11. Enter "10" (the unit is pixels by default in most tools like Photoshop).

Answer:

1. Vector graphics use math paths (scalable); bitmaps use pixels (pixelated when scaled).
2. Raster graphic
3. Create a new layer for each text line and add text to each.
4. Image editing software (e.g., Adobe Photoshop)
5. They create text-shaped selections, not live text layers.
6. Leading
7. Kerning: pair spacing; Tracking: uniform spacing.
8. Via the OpenType menu in the Character palette.
9. Align punctuation with text margin (no hanging).
10. Convert to pixel-based (bitmap) format.
11. 10
