  1. What is the effect of increasing the number of Cache Levels in Photoshop's Performance preferences?

    Answer: It speeds up screen redraw for large, high-resolution images

    Higher Cache Levels store more scaled-down versions of the image, allowing Photoshop to redraw the screen faster when zoomed out on large documents.

  2. Which color profile is recommended when creating Photoshop assets that will be displayed on the web and in browsers?

    Answer: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

    sRGB is the standard color space for the web and is the default assumption of virtually all browsers and display devices for web content.

  3. When would you use File > Place Embedded versus File > Place Linked when building a Photoshop composite?

    Answer: Place Linked for assets you want to update dynamically from an external file; Place Embedded to bake the asset into the PSD

    Place Linked references an external file and updates automatically if the source changes, while Place Embedded copies the file data directly into the PSD.

  4. To ensure consistent measurement across a print project in Photoshop, which unit setting is most appropriate for ruler and document size display?

    Answer: Inches

    Inches are the standard unit for print layout in the US, aligning with physical paper sizes and printer specifications.

  5. Which History States preference value provides the best balance between undo flexibility and RAM usage for most professional workflows?

    Answer: 50 states

    50 history states is the Photoshop default and provides a practical number of undos without consuming excessive RAM for most professional workflows.

  6. What is the purpose of the 'Proof Colors' view mode (View > Proof Colors) during document setup and review?

    Answer: It simulates how the document will appear when output to a specific device or color profile

    Proof Colors uses soft proofing to simulate on-screen how your document will look when printed or displayed on a specific output device or profile.

  7. When saving a Photoshop file for compatibility with older versions of the application, which option should be enabled in the Save dialog?

    Answer: Maximize Compatibility

    Maximize Compatibility saves a flattened composite of the image inside the PSD, ensuring older versions of Photoshop and other applications can read the file.
