Question 1

Which white point is standard for sRGB and most web display work?

Accepted Answer

D65

Answer

sRGB is defined with a D65 (6500K) white point, which matches typical daylight viewing conditions for consumer monitors.

Question 2

In ICC color management, what is a 'device link' profile used for?

Accepted Answer

Converting directly between two device spaces without going through PCS

Answer

A device link profile provides a one-step, direct conversion between two device color spaces (e.g., CMYK to CMYK) without a Profile Connection Space intermediate, preserving black channels.

Question 3

What is the primary risk of performing extensive retouching in 8-bit mode?

Accepted Answer

Banding and posterization from insufficient tonal levels

Answer

With only 256 levels per channel, aggressive curves or tonal adjustments in 8-bit can create visible banding (posterization) where smooth gradients should appear.

Question 4

A CMYK profile with a Total Ink Limit of 300% means:

Accepted Answer

The combined C+M+Y+K values cannot exceed 300%

Answer

Total Ink Limit (TIL) specifies the maximum combined percentage of all four inks, preventing excessive ink laydown that causes paper damage or slow drying.

Question 5

Which Photoshop color setting synchronizes color management policies across all Adobe Creative Cloud applications?

Accepted Answer

Edit > Color Settings with a CSF file via Bridge

Answer

Saving and synchronizing a .csf (Color Settings File) through Bridge ensures all CC applications use identical color management policies and working spaces.
