After you've made a selection, which of the following actions can you perform on the selected area?

• A. Correct the color of the selected area
• B. Fill the selected area with a color
• C. Apply a filter to the selected area
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

When you make a selection, you’re isolating a portion of the image so edits apply only to that region. That’s why you can do a variety of edits on the selected area. You can adjust its color properties—like hue, saturation, brightness, or color balance—without touching the rest of the image. You can also fill the selected region with a solid color, which paints that area while leaving unselected parts unchanged. And you can apply a filter to the selected pixels, so the effect affects only that portion rather than the entire image. Because all of these actions can be applied to the chosen area, the option that encompasses all of them is the best choice.
