Unit Descriptor
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to manage colour in a digital imaging workplace.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to any digital imaging industry where digital files are captured, acquired, created, manipulated, integrated, enhanced, output, managed and archived to a variety of media in which colour accuracy is integral.
This unit requires the self-directed application of skills and knowledge to research, evaluate, plan, coordinate and manage the accuracy, consistency and integrity of colour in born digital and hybrid (digitised/scanned film or print) workflows.
This work is usually undertaken autonomously, with guidance where required.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Pre-Requisites
Not applicable.
Employability Skills Information
This unit contains employability skills.

Performance Criteria |
|
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
|
1. Research history and apply theory of colour in a digital imaging context |
1.1 Identify colour theories as they apply to the digital imaging context using appropriate sources of information and standards 1.2 Evaluate currency and credibility of information gathered and ensure research scope is sufficiently broad 1.3 Examine how colour is created, defined and managed in contemporary digital imaging devices 1.4 Investigate the areas of capture, display, output and archive spaces in contemporary digital imaging devices where colour management is critical to the production of a quality product 1.5 Maintain accurate and comprehensive details of sources of information and standards |
|
2. Identify appropriate colour management systems and strategies and apply to a workplace |
2.1 Identify and select appropriate colour management systems and strategies for specific digital imaging devices 2.2 Evaluate suitability of selected colour management systems and strategies in terms of relevance and cost efficiency 2.3 Adopt and adapt selected colour management systems and strategies to digital workplace |
|
3. Review and update colour management strategies |
3.1 Review performance and assess impact of adapted colour management systems and strategies 3.2 Develop systems to update and respond to future colour management systems and strategies as they arise from emerging technologies and workplace practices |

Method of assessment |
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands (e.g. literacy) and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties, such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
|
Guidance information for assessment |
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended. |
