2. Source the images | 2.1 Research the appropriate sources of images, to meet a range of needs 2.2 Source the images appropriate to meet the needs, taking into consideration copyright restrictions |
3. Manipulate the images | 3.1 Select the appropriate industry-standard, image-editing software for the purpose 3.2 Create backups of the assets to be used 3.3 Use features of the image-editing software, to create a range of effects appropriate to client needs and web application 3.4 Edit, resize, and slice images for use in web applications, as required to meet client needs |

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
identify and describe, the industry standards and the copyright legislation relevant to digital images
