Read the first 7 Exporting for Web and Print flashcards as text

  1. Which Photoshop panel allows you to create and save custom export presets for repeated use with 'Export As'?

    Answer: There are no saveable presets in Export As

    Export As does not support saveable presets; for repeatable export workflows, use Actions or Image Processor scripts instead.

  2. A print job requires a bleed of 0.125 inches on all sides. If the final trim size is 5×7 inches, what should the document size be?

    Answer: 5.25 × 7.25 inches

    Adding 0.125 inches bleed on each of the four sides means adding 0.25 inches total to both width and height: 5.25×7.25 inches.

  3. What does 'Optimize to File Size' do in Save for Web (Legacy)?

    Answer: Adjusts quality settings to hit a target file size you specify

    Optimize to File Size automatically adjusts the quality or compression parameter to produce a file as close to the target size as possible.

  4. When exporting for offset printing, why should you avoid using RGB color mode?

    Answer: Offset printers use CMYK inks and RGB values must be converted, risking unexpected color shifts

    Offset presses use cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks; an RGB-to-CMYK conversion at the RIP can produce unexpected results, so supplying CMYK files gives you control over the conversion.

  5. Which export format is recommended when handing off a high-resolution photo to a commercial print shop that requires lossless quality?

    Answer: TIFF

    TIFF supports lossless compression (or no compression), high bit depths, CMYK color, and layers, making it the standard format for commercial print handoff.

  6. In Photoshop's Export As dialog, what does the 'Scale' field allow you to do?

    Answer: Export the image at a percentage of its original pixel dimensions

    The Scale field exports the image at a specified percentage (e.g., 50% exports at half the original pixel dimensions) without permanently resizing the document.

  7. What is the maximum number of colors supported in a GIF file?

    Answer: 256

    GIF uses an indexed color palette limited to a maximum of 256 colors (8-bit index), which is why it's unsuitable for photographic images.
