ICPPRP333
Electronically combine complex images

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake complex electronic combining of images. It requires the individual to assess and combine complex images, perform edits to ensure they conform to job specifications, solve technical problems and prepare the final output.

It applies to individuals working in a pre-press environment, who are required to be competent in more than one graphics application.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)



Evidence Required

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 Assess and combine complex images

1.1 Components of compleximages for reproduction are electronically evaluated for combining

1.2 Operations are planned for combining digital information from any electronic source to effect job specifications

1.3 Correct masking technique is used to combine the job economically

1.4 Combined images are manipulated, retouched and corrected electronically to conform to job specifications

2 Edit complex image

2.1 Images are retouched to conform to job specifications

2.2 Images are contoured to conform to job specifications

2.3 Colour correction is undertaken to conform to job specifications

2.4 Tonal correction is undertaken to conform to job specifications

3 Solve technical combining problems

3.1 Technical problems relevant to combining images are resolved by reassessing elements for combining or amendment of the design

3.2 Complex images are combined with potential to be reproduced according to the job brief

4 Prepare information for output devices

4.1 Disk capacity is checked for space before final assembly

4.2 Limitations of system to achieve required outputare assessed

4.3 Appropriate colour profiles are applied according to job specifications

5 Manage combining system

5.1 Electronic combining system is managed effectively to facilitate storage, retrieval and outputting of data

5.2 Combining software and files are maintained to ensure an operative system

Evidence of the ability to:

produce TWO jobs that combine and manipulate complex elements to be reproduced following job brief, and according to the listed performance criteria

transfer underlying skill of combining across the design and pre-press sectors (it is important the substrate for reproduction is identified and competencies demonstrated with a clear identification of printing processes)

find 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:

explain why settings need to be varied to suit subsequent printing processes or electronic output

list factors used in determining scan resolution

outline limitations of a Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) scanner when compared to a Photo Multiplier scanner

list factors involved in calibrating the monitor

outline the process of converting from an Red Green Blue (RGB) colour model to a stet colour model

explain meaning of Native format

list characteristics of EPS and TIFF formats

explain meaning of Raster Image Processing (RIP)

explain the process of RIP calibration

name two advantages of Open Prepress Interface (OPI)

explain difference between a bitmapped and a vector image

state purpose of calculation menu [or equivalent] in systems work

outline specific limitations of digital cameras

locate manuals, safety and other documentation relevant to this task and outline information included in these documents.

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 Pre-Press field of work and include access to special purpose tools, equipment and industry software packages.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
