Elements and Performance Criteria

1. Research principles and techniques for control of digital colour
   • Identify charts, measurements, spaces, models and systems, and industry standards relevant to colour in digital imaging contexts
   • Examine how colour is created, defined and managed in digital imaging devices
   • Investigate areas of capture, display, output and archive spaces in digital imaging devices
   • Document sources of information on colour management and standards
2. Apply colour management systems
   • Identify and select appropriate calibration devices, profiling techniques and closed loop systems for managing colour in specific digital imaging devices
   • Evaluate selected colour management systems and techniques for suitability and cost efficiency
   • Adopt and adapt selected colour management systems to digital workplace
3. Review and update colour management strategies
   • Review performance and assess impact of adapted colour management systems and strategies in digital workplace
   • Develop systems to update and respond to future colour management systems and strategies as they arise from emerging technologies and workplace practices

Performance Evidence

Evidence of the ability to:

document research into the principles and techniques of digital colour management

evaluate digital colour management systems and strategies, and select a system to apply in a digital imaging context

manage digital colour across a range of digital devices to achieve consistent quality in products

evaluate outcomes and document ways to respond to future changes or opportunities.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
