List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Identify need for colour management | 1.1 Varied colour representations across devices are recognised and recorded according to job requirements 1.2 Colour inconsistencies between input, display and output devices, and printed products are identified and addressed 1.3 Components of colour management systems are identified and correctly used |
2. Use colour modes and libraries | 2.1 Colour modes and libraries are used according to job specifications 2.2 Images are converted between colour modes using processes that ensure best reproduction according to job specifications 2.3 Colour libraries are selected and used within software applications according to job specifications |
Evidence of the ability to:
recognise variations and inconsistencies in colour representation across devices
identify and use components of a colour management system
select and convert images to appropriate colour modes
select colour libraries that comply with specific job specifications
locate and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify components of a colour management system and their application
explain terminology associated with colour management
identify standard lighting conditions for matching colour
describe effects of different lighting conditions on monitors, proofing and printing
explain measurement of light intensity and colour temperature
identify differences between red, blue, green (RGB), cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK), lab colour and spot colour
list different rendering intents and their application
describe under-colour removal (UCR) and grey component replacement (GCR) and the effect they have on an image
explain different pantone libraries and their application
identify work health and safety (WHS) issues to consider when managing colour for digital production.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the printing field of work and include access to:
special purpose tools, equipment and materials
industry software packages used for colour management production.
Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.
