  1. When exporting a JPEG for web using 'Export As', which color profile setting ensures colors display consistently across browsers?

    Answer: Convert to sRGB

    Converting to sRGB is the web standard because most browsers and monitors are calibrated to sRGB, ensuring consistent color display.

  2. Which Photoshop export option allows you to define multiple image sizes and formats in a single export operation?

    Answer: Image Processor

    Image Processor (File > Scripts > Image Processor) can batch-export files to JPEG, PSD, and TIFF at multiple sizes simultaneously.

  3. A print vendor requests a CMYK TIFF with LZW compression. Which Photoshop sequence correctly fulfills this?

    Answer: Image > Mode > CMYK, then Save As TIFF with LZW

    You first convert the document to CMYK mode, then use Save As to save as TIFF and select LZW compression in the TIFF options dialog.

  4. What is the purpose of the 'Metadata' dropdown in the Export As dialog?

    Answer: Controls which metadata is embedded in the exported file

    The Metadata dropdown lets you choose None, Copyright Only, Copyright and Contact Info, or All to control what metadata is embedded in the export.

  5. For a newspaper ad requiring 85 lpi halftone printing, what minimum image resolution should you supply?

    Answer: 170 ppi

    The industry rule is 1.5–2× the line screen frequency, so 85 lpi × 2 = 170 ppi minimum for quality halftone reproduction.

  6. Which format is best suited for exporting a web graphic that requires both transparency and animation?

    Answer: WebP

    WebP supports both alpha transparency and animation while producing smaller file sizes than GIF, making it the modern preferred choice.

  7. When using 'Save for Web (Legacy)', what does the '2-Up' view allow you to do?

    Answer: Compare the original image side-by-side with the export preview

    The 2-Up view shows the original image alongside the compressed preview so you can evaluate quality loss before committing to the export settings.
