Elements and Performance Criteria
- Identify colour requirements
- Calibrate digital devices
- Digital devices in the workflow are calibrated to produce accurate colour reproductions
- Device profiles created during calibration are correctly used and stored
- Digital devices are checked regularly to ensure they are still within calibration
- Profiles or equipment parameters are adjusted to bring devices back into calibration, when required
- Records are stored to ensure calibration occurs regularly
- Use colour profiles
- Source and destination profiles are identified within the workflow
- Profiles are used to ensure colour on monitors, proofs and final product match as closely as possible
- Images are converted to correct profile if incorrect profile is embedded
- Correct rendering intent is used to ensure accurate colour conversion
- Configure software within workflow
- Maintain colour management workflow
