Question 1 Report

A photographer uses a computer to edit digital images.

(a) State two suitable input devices for the photographer to use. [2]

(b) State two suitable output devices for the photographer. [2]

(c) Explain why the photographer would need a large amount of RAM in their computer. [2]

Answer Details

(a) Two suitable input devices for a photographer:

  • A digital camera or memory card reader, which allows the photographer to capture images and transfer them to the computer for editing. [1]
  • A graphics tablet, which lets the photographer make precise edits and retouching using a stylus rather than a mouse. [1]

(b) Two suitable output devices for a photographer:

  • A high-resolution monitor that displays images in fine detail and accurate colour, essential for precise editing work. [1]
  • A colour printer to produce high-quality printed copies of photographs. [1]

(c) A photographer would need a large amount of RAM because image editing software and high-resolution image files (which can be tens of megabytes each) need to be loaded into memory simultaneously. [1] More RAM allows the computer to process and render these large files faster, supporting operations like applying filters, working with multiple layers, and editing several images at once without the system slowing down.
