Q1 multiple-choice · scope-default By default, an editing operation in CAPP applies to which images?
Explanation: CAPP’s default scope is all folders within the item . This is the model that makes high-volume production economically viable — one operation applies to all 36 spin frames + all still frames simultaneously. Per-image editing requires explicitly entering Single Image mode.
Q2 multiple-select · scope-types · weight 2 Which of the following are valid scope types in CAPP editing? (Select all that apply.)
Explanation: CAPP supports 4 scope types: All folders , Specific folder , Specific swing angle , Current image only . Date range and barcode are not scope dimensions — items are filtered by status / barcode in the Items menu, not in editing scopes.
Q3 multiple-choice · mask-modes Within a per-operation mask, which modifier key subtracts from the mask area?
Explanation: The Alt key inverts the brush — areas drawn while holding Alt are excluded from the mask. The mask itself has 3 modes (Brush / Inside / Outside) and the Alt-modifier works within Brush mode.
Q4 multiple-choice · background-methods Which background removal method requires the Freemask 2-light capture setup (m09)?
Explanation: Freemask removal uses the 2-frame capture (front lights + back lights, m09 Section 4) — most precise background removal but requires the lighting infrastructure. Level uses color threshold; Flood uses click-and-fill; Chromakey targets specific colors anywhere in the frame.
Q5 scenario · background-method-choice · weight 2 A studio shoots glass perfume bottles on white backdrop . Background removal by Level is producing artifacts — bright reflections on the glass are being removed along with the backdrop.
Explanation: Glass reflects light → bright product areas overlap with backdrop on threshold-based Level removal. Switch to By Flood (click-and-flood, stops at object edges) or By Freemask (uses 2-light capture for precise extraction). D is wrong — darker backdrops cause separate problems.
Q6 multiple-choice · clarity-choice Which sharpening tool generally produces better results with less noise (slower but higher quality)?
Explanation: Unsharp Mask considers larger areas around each pixel for sharpening; better results with less noise but slower than Sharpen. Sharpen is fast pixel-level contrast boost; faster but more prone to noise amplification.
Q7 multiple-choice · preset-assignment Which is NOT a valid way to apply a preset to an item in CAPP?
Explanation: The 3 official preset assignment methods are: per-item drop-down (hotkey P), at creation via Add item dialog, and bulk assign. Direct file-system XML editing is not supported and can corrupt the item.
Q8 multiple-choice · csv-encoding When using CSV import to bulk-create items with presets, what encoding is recommended?
Explanation: UTF-8 is the recommended encoding for CSV imports. Other encodings (Windows-1252, UTF-16) cause character corruption on import, especially for non-ASCII characters in product names.
Q9 multiple-choice · shelves What does a Shelf (or Cart) in CAPP bind together?
Explanation: A Shelf binds: a barcode (scannable code), a workspace (workstation + hardware), and a preset (capture+editing configuration). Operator scans shelf → CAPP switches to the workspace + applies the preset. Then scanning an item barcode adds the item to the configured workspace.
Q10 multiple-choice · chromakey What is Chromakey most commonly used for in PhotoRobot studios?
Explanation: Chromakey removes parts of the scene by targeted color — up to 12 colors selectable. The killer use case is invisible mannequin photography (apparel ghost): mannequin pole is painted a distinctive color → Chromakey removes the pole → apparel appears to float. Also used for nylon strings, clamps, holders.
Q11 true-false · editing-vs-lighting Heavy use of Brightness, Contrast, or Levels in editing usually indicates the lighting at capture was wrong, and the fix is to correct lighting at the capture stage (m09).
Explanation: Editing tools like Brightness/Levels can compensate for moderate lighting issues, but heavy use means the captures themselves were suboptimal. The cheaper + faster + better-looking fix is at the lighting stage (m09). Treating editing as a lighting fixer is a daily-time-sink that scales poorly across high-SKU studios.
Q12 multiple-choice · workflow-time A well-configured preset-driven editing pipeline should produce a fully-edited spin in approximately how much time per item?
Explanation: Well-configured presets enable sub-60-second editing per item , most of that automatic CAPP processing while the operator queues the next item. If a studio is taking 5+ minutes per item, the bottleneck is upstream (capture, lighting, preset design) — not editing skill. This time budget enables the high-volume production model.
