  1. A Photoshop document is 10,000 x 8,000 pixels and exceeds 2GB. Which format should you use to save it?

    Answer: PSB

    PSB (Photoshop Big Document) supports files larger than 2GB, whereas the standard PSD format has a 2GB file size limit.

  2. When setting up a multi-artboard workflow in Photoshop for a mobile app design, what is the key advantage of using Artboards over regular layers?

    Answer: Artboards let you manage multiple screen sizes or states within one document

    Artboards function as self-contained canvases within a single document, making it easy to design multiple screens, states, or device sizes side by side.

  3. What is the purpose of setting a 'Bleed' area when preparing a Photoshop document for commercial printing?

    Answer: It extends background colors and images beyond the trim edge to prevent white borders after cutting

    Bleed extends artwork 1/8 inch (0.125") beyond the trim edge so that slight cutting variations don't result in unwanted white borders on the final printed piece.

  4. Which Photoshop preference setting controls how much RAM the application is allowed to use?

    Answer: Performance > Memory Usage

    Under Preferences > Performance, the Memory Usage slider controls the percentage of available RAM allocated to Photoshop, directly affecting performance.

  5. When duplicating a Photoshop document to create a variation, which command preserves all layers and settings while creating an independent copy?

    Answer: Image > Duplicate

    Image > Duplicate creates a complete copy of the active document with all layers intact, which can then be saved independently.

  6. In Photoshop's New Document dialog, what does the 'Advanced' settings section allow you to configure that the basic view does not show?

    Answer: Color profile and pixel aspect ratio

    The Advanced section of the New Document dialog exposes Color Profile assignment and Pixel Aspect Ratio settings for specialized output requirements.

  7. A photographer wants all future Photoshop documents to open with a ProPhoto RGB color profile. Where is this configured?

    Answer: Edit > Color Settings > Working Spaces > RGB

    Edit > Color Settings controls the default Working Space for RGB, CMYK, and Gray, which Photoshop applies to new documents and untagged files.
