We know how much you guys like to test your knowledge of Photoshop so today we are giving you an opportunity to do so with another quiz from Martin Perhiniak. Please take a moment to complete this 10-question quiz and see if you’re prepared to pass our test! Good luck!
Editor’s note: this quiz is for Photoshop CS5.

Missed 5 and 6. I knew 5 but somehow clicked wrong. Still 80% isn’t bad!
hell i got 30
Hmm, i think these questions were from Martin’s interview talking about Adobe’s certification.
What a fantastic teacher you are, they way you explain and talk about anything related to design sounds so natural.
I think the most painful part is to remember all the keyboard shortcuts,i was thinking lately to give it a try for the certification expertise
Wow, 10 years of expertice and still something I don’t know xDD 70% scored! =D
Nice quizz =D
Missed #1?!?!?! I can’t change the opacity of multiple selected layers… I am using CS4 though, is this something that is possible in CS5?
yes, it is cs5 only.
Same. I missed 1 cause I’m using Cs4. The question is not specific.
Yea um cmd/ctrl does NOT let me use free transform when in perspective mode… i’m on CS5.
Otherwise awesome quiz! I didn’t know a couple of them and they were actually really helpful to find out! (H+click = awesome!)
I don’t suppose 60% is a pass mark!!!!
The test is not showing up on my iPad.
Passed it.
I think these are less a measurement of Photoshop proficiency, but more of obscure Photoshop trivia.
I’ve led teams of graphic designers and during interviews I would never dream of asking applicants what filter doesn’t work on a Smart Object. But I WOULD give them a photo and ask them to extract the flyaway hair from the background.
One is trivial knowledge
the other is a useful skill
Which is better to measure?
And just exactly how do you propose to have someone extract flyaway hair here? :P
It says ‘test Photoshop knowledge’ not expertise :P
Damn I scored 50% :(….lol there were a bunch I really didn’t know like the CAPS lock one…
70% not to bad…..
80%. Missed 6 & 7. Nice quiz :D
why don’t these quizzes work in IE?
that’s a rhetorical question right?
90%, missed #7 but I still had a hunch about the right answer.
Oh well, something learned. :D
These are awesome Mr.Perhiniak, I’m planning on getting a certification in the next few months and these are a good example of what to expect.
Thank you!
Loved this! Keep them coming, please.
I got 60%, pretty low, I’d expected some more.
w00t 100% although some of the questions could have been written better.
Missed #6 and #7, damn those shortcuts! :)
60%
Hey guys,
Grant forgot to say these questions are related to Photoshop CS5. Most of them are true in previous versions as well, but they are intended to be similar to the questions you will find in Adobe Certified Expert exams, and they are always written for the latest version of course.
Good luck and I hope you will learn something useful!
Cheers,
Martin
Had 100% in the previous exam and 80% on this one. Was a tad harder but thanks Martin! :)
Is there any place where there is previous past papers for the photshop exam? Where I can prepare? I really want to give it a shot.
Missed 3 , 5 , 7.
Got 70% fine i guess :)
Am I just not seeing the quiz? Where exactly is the 10 question quiz?
Ok I see it now. Loaded the page in Google Chrome.. for whatever reason it was not loading in IE 8 / PC.
90%! The first five were simple though – not because I’m at all knowledgeable, but because I remembered them from Martin’s interview. :)
I learned something new from #6!
yay i got 100%
70% any less and I would have cut myself off from Photoshop entirely…
where are the questions?
I got 90%! Amazing. Need more Photoshop quizzes. Thanks Martin!
Im 15 years old, using photoshop for 4 years, but in photoshop cs5 some of the answers can be different but still 80%, missed 1st and 5th question,but im proud of myself :D

cool, got 80% not bad,
Yes, 90%… I can’t believe that it was question 1 that caught me out though. Hmmm maybe I will look into the ACE business.
I guess the answer of the first question is either wrong, or I can’t do it in CS4 :D
Very good. Want more these kind of tests! My result was 70%. Missed 1/5/7…

Hei Martin

I failed at questions 1 & 6.
50% OMG disappointing :(((( I have to practice more !
woah 40% I failed the test
I scored 100%! I thought it was a pretty good test. It made me think! Thank you very much!

I liked this one better than the previous… Although I thought I would get a really bad score, like 50% or lower, but I got 70 % and was pleasantly surprised. I use CS3 and I was a bit confused by the first question as well, but I didn’t really know, so I just went with what seemed to make sense, lol.
Oh, and btw, this is a great way to learn guys! It teaches things in a concise way! Thanks!
80% here… missed 1 and 5 — based on some of the comments — looks like I might have missed 1 because I’m on CS4 instead of CS5
Good quiz! Keep em coming! :)
70% … Nice test, need more quizzes \o/
70%
Not sure this is really a good test on your photoshop skills tbh lol (scored 50%) but then I would think that :P
oh no. i think i m expert in Photoshop & was ready for 100%. but my 50% marks break my all expectations :-(
Great post, had to guess at some questions, .who would want to do that anyway
Would be cool if they showed you which ones you got wrong. Looking for more quizzes like this.
Thanks for sharing.
