The exam will be open-book/open-notes. I will ask for all answers to be in your own words and will want it to be obvious that you are not just rewording things, so write your answers with that goal in mind.

You may use your notes, the files you have saved in your class account, and the course web page and resources to which it directly links. You may not use a search engine to seek out other resources during the exam.

This is not an exhaustive list of possible questions or question types. Some of these questions might appear in modified form. You should also look at the homework questions, photo assignments, and class exercises as more example questions.

• Given the color image at [URL would go here], create a grayscale version of the image with [single specified object here] in its original color.
• Given the black and white image of a flower at [URL would go here], colorize the flower.
• Crop the image at [URL would go here] so that the [single specified object here] is positioned according to the Golden Rule.
• Given the image at [URL would go here] crop or rotate as you see fit and justify your adjustments according to specific composition rules discussed in class.
• Using the photo posted at [URL would go here] demonstrate how different techniques of saving a file as a JPG lead to image decay. Make sure your final demonstration image makes it very obvious to a novice that decay has occurred.
• Give two examples of the use of the Golden Ratio in visual composition rules. For each, explain the general arithmetic behind the rule, and sketch an example of an image that obeys the rule.
• Describe the concept of a Cornell box, what it's use is, and briefly discuss some of the problems developers face simulating it.
• What is EXIF data, and what is an example of an image file format in which it is not supported? Give three examples of pieces of information that could be stored with EXIF, and why we might want to. Download the image at [URL would go here] and (via the EXIF data) find out who creates the image.
• Select a type of photographer whose tasks and goals you are familiar with. Provide a detailed description about a task that such a photographer would need to accomplish. Include a discussion of what this task description could tell a researcher working on a system to improve either a camera, editing tool, or website that the photographer might use as part of accomplishing this task.
• Please give an example of when it would be useful to use lo-fidelity prototyping, and explain some advantages to using lo-fi protoyping.
• Describe the goals of Task Centered Design. Outline a general method to follow if you were to use task centered design to create a new product.
• Provide one example scenario that demonstrates a clearly ETHICAL manipulation of an image, and one example scenario that demonstrates a clearly UNETHICAL manipulation.
• Discuss one technical aspect of image recognition and one ethical aspect of image recognition. The two do not need to be related.
