Read the first 7 Saving and Exporting Artwork flashcards as text

  1. Which color mode should a document be in before exporting artwork intended for professional print?

    Answer: CMYK

    CMYK matches the four-color process used by commercial printing.

  2. When exporting a PNG for a Retina/high-DPI screen, you typically export at:

    Answer: 2x (or higher) scale

    High-DPI displays need 2x or 3x pixel density to look sharp.

  3. What is the purpose of flattening transparency during export to certain formats?

    Answer: To render overlapping transparent areas reliably in formats that don't support live transparency

    Flattening resolves transparency into opaque artwork for formats/printers that can't interpret it live.

  4. Which export choice produces the smallest file for a flat-color icon with few colors?

    Answer: PNG-8 or SVG

    Limited-color PNG-8 or compact SVG are efficient for simple flat-color graphics.

  5. In the Export for Screens dialog, the 'Formats' section lets you:

    Answer: Add several output formats and scales for the same assets simultaneously

    You can stack multiple format+scale rows to export many variations in one click.

  6. Which file format keeps layers and is widely used for handoff to Photoshop while preserving editability?

    Answer: PSD (Photoshop) export with Write Layers

    Exporting to PSD with 'Write Layers' retains a layered, editable Photoshop file.

  7. What does the resolution setting (ppi) control when exporting raster formats?

    Answer: The pixel density and effective print/display sharpness

    Higher ppi yields more pixels per inch, increasing detail and file size.
