Read the first 7 Publishing and Exporting Media flashcards as text

  1. A designer exports a Photoshop image for a client's website and notices the colors look dull in the browser. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: The image was saved in CMYK color mode instead of sRGB

    Browsers expect sRGB color profiles; exporting in CMYK causes color shifts because browsers interpret CMYK values as RGB.

  2. What does the 'Embed Color Profile' option do when saving a JPEG in Adobe Photoshop?

    Answer: Embeds the document's ICC color profile into the file so color-managed applications can display it accurately

    Embedding the ICC profile allows other color-managed software and devices to correctly interpret and display the file's colors.

  3. In Adobe Premiere Pro, what is the role of the 'Lumetri Color' panel's export workflow compared to applying a LUT at export?

    Answer: Lumetri color grades are baked into the video during export; a LUT can be applied as a separate color transform in export settings for additional grading

    Lumetri adjustments are rendered into the export by default, and an optional output LUT in export settings can stack on top for technical conversion.

  4. Which Illustrator export option creates the smallest file suitable for a simple web icon while preserving transparency?

    Answer: PNG-8 with transparency enabled

    PNG-8 uses indexed color (up to 256 colors) with transparency support, producing small files well-suited for simple, flat-color icons.

  5. What is the function of the 'Packaging' feature in Adobe InDesign (File > Package)?

    Answer: Collects the InDesign file along with all linked images and fonts into a single folder for sharing or archiving

    Packaging gathers the document, all linked assets, and embedded fonts into one folder so the project is fully portable for handoff or archiving.

  6. When creating a GIF for web use in Photoshop, what setting directly controls the number of colors in the exported file?

    Answer: The 'Colors' value in the Save for Web dialog (2–256)

    GIF is an indexed-color format; the Colors value specifies how many colors the palette contains, directly affecting file size and visual quality.

  7. In Adobe Media Encoder, what is a 'Watch Folder' used for?

    Answer: Automatically encodes any media file dropped into a designated folder using preset export settings

    A Watch Folder automatically triggers encoding with a predefined preset whenever new media files are placed in that folder, enabling hands-off batch processing.
