Which term refers to adjustments applied to the entire image?

• A. Local Adjustments
• B. Masking
• C. Cropping
• D. Global Adjustments

Answer: (D)

Adjustments applied to the entire image are global adjustments. This means the change affects every pixel in the frame equally, producing a uniform shift in things like brightness, contrast, white balance, or overall color tone. Tools that adjust exposure or color globally will brighten, darken, or color-match the whole image at once. In contrast, local adjustments (using brushes, gradients, or masks) modify only selected areas, and cropping changes the framing rather than pixel values across the image.
