Read the first 7 Project Setup and Workflow flashcards as text

  1. When creating a new Photoshop document for a social media post intended for Retina displays, which resolution setting is most appropriate?

    Answer: 144 ppi

    144 ppi (double the standard 72 ppi) accounts for Retina/HiDPI screens where pixel density is 2x, ensuring sharp display.

  2. Which Photoshop workspace panel configuration is best practice for a photographer editing RAW files in a high-volume workflow?

    Answer: Use the Photography workspace with Histogram and Camera Raw visible

    The Photography workspace pre-arranges panels like Histogram, Adjustments, and Camera Raw for efficient photo-editing workflows.

  3. A designer needs to set up a Photoshop file that will be shared across multiple team members using Creative Cloud Libraries. What is the most efficient approach?

    Answer: Store colors, character styles, and graphics as Library assets

    Creative Cloud Libraries allow teams to share colors, text styles, graphics, and other assets that sync automatically across team members.

  4. What does enabling 'Pixel Grid' in Photoshop's View menu help prevent when working on web graphics?

    Answer: Sub-pixel rendering causing blurry edges on shapes

    The Pixel Grid shows individual pixels at high zoom and helps designers align shapes to exact pixel boundaries, preventing blurry sub-pixel edges.

  5. In which scenario should you change a document's Color Mode from RGB to CMYK during project setup?

    Answer: Designing a full-color magazine advertisement for commercial printing

    CMYK mode is required for commercial print projects because printing presses use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (Black) inks.

  6. What is the function of Photoshop's 'Snap to Grid' feature during document setup and layout work?

    Answer: It automatically aligns layers to the nearest guide or grid intersection

    Snap to Grid makes elements automatically align to the nearest grid line or intersection as you move or resize them, speeding up precise layout work.

  7. Which file format should be chosen when saving a Photoshop document that must retain layers, masks, and adjustment layers for future editing?

    Answer: PSD or PSB

    PSD (Photoshop Document) and PSB (Large Document) are native formats that preserve all Photoshop-specific data including layers, masks, and adjustment layers.
