Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to undertake complex electronic combining of images.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Assess and combine complex images
- 1.1. The components of complex images for reproduction are electronically evaluated for combining
- 1.2. Operations are planned for combining digital information from any electronic source to effect job specifications The correct masking technique is used to combine the job economically
- 1.3. 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 the elements for combining or amendment of the design
- 3.2. Complex images are combined with the potential to be reproduced according to the job brief
4. Prepare information for output devices
- 4.1. The disk capacity is checked for space before final assembly
- 4.2. The limitations of the system to achieve the required output are assessed
- 4.3. Appropriate colour profiles are applied according to job specifications
5. Manage the combining system
- 5.1. The electronic combining system is managed effectively to facilitate the storage, retrieval and outputting of data
- 5.2. Combining software and files are maintained to ensure an operative system
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Complexity may include:
wrap around text, contoured graphics, vignettes, use of layers.
Manipulation/edit may include:
appropriate software relative to image input.
Output may include:
image setters, final films, direct imaging proofing, contract proofs.
Input may include:
both DTP and/or proprietary system.
Capture may include:
scanner, digital camera, hard storage.
Quality standards may include:
should meet client requirements and enterprise and industry standards.

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
complex images are combined with the potential to be reproduced according to job specifications and any image manipulation enhances the image quality
the underlying skill of combining should be transferable across the design and pre-press sectors. It is important that the substrate for reproduction is identified and that the competencies be demonstrated with a clear identification of printing processes
demonstrate an ability to find and use information relevant to the task from a variety of information sources
produce TWO jobs that combine and manipulate complex elements following the job brief and according to the listed Performance Criteria.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
produce TWO jobs that combine and manipulate complex elements following the job brief and according to the listed Performance Criteria
it is expected that special purpose industry software packages will be used where appropriate.
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:
direct questioning combined with review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended.
