You need to export a logo on a transparent background for a website. Which format preserves full alpha channel transparency?
Answer: PNG-24
PNG-24 supports full 8-bit alpha channel transparency, unlike GIF which only supports binary (on/off) transparency.
What is 'pixel doubling' (2x assets) used for in web export workflows?
Answer: Providing high-resolution images for Retina/HiDPI displays
2x assets are double the CSS pixel dimensions so that Retina and HiDPI screens render images sharply without upscaling.
Which Photoshop feature lets you export individual layers or layer groups as separate image files automatically?
Answer: File > Export > Export Layers to Files
File > Export > Export Layers to Files iterates through each layer or layer group and saves them as individual image files.
A designer sets canvas size to 8.5×11 inches at 300 ppi for a print document. What pixel dimension does this produce?
Answer: 2550 × 3300 px
8.5 × 300 = 2550 px and 11 × 300 = 3300 px, so the canvas is 2550×3300 pixels at 300 ppi.
When using Photoshop's 'Package' feature (File > Package), what does it collect?
Answer: The PSD and all linked smart object files into a single folder
File > Package copies the PSD and all externally linked Smart Object files into one folder, ensuring handoff completeness.
Which blending mode interaction requires 'Flatten Image' before exporting to JPEG to avoid unexpected color changes?
Answer: Layers using blend modes like Multiply or Screen
JPEG does not support layers or blend modes; flattening merges blended composites into final pixel values so the export matches the on-screen appearance.
What is the role of 'rendering intent' when converting a wide-gamut image to sRGB for web export?
Answer: It defines how out-of-gamut colors are mapped into the smaller color space
Rendering intent (Perceptual, Relative Colorimetric, etc.) determines the strategy used to translate colors that fall outside the target color space.
