Colour calibration
Digital images should be viewed using profiled and calibrated equipment so that
the image can be viewed as intended – Digital images should never be assessed
for colour if being viewed through a web browser. Colour-critical digital images should
always be viewed in a controlled environment that is fully colour-managed. This will
require the use of regularly calibrated and profiled monitors and output devices, and
the full implementation of ICC profiling. This will ensure that the images are viewed
as intended and an accurate audit of their quality can be made.
File preparation
Images will be supplied either unsharpened or with minimal sharpening.
Excessive amounts of sharpening can seriously degrade the quality of an image
if it is resized and should only be done at the image’s final output size.
Colour space
Images will be submitted with an embedded profile of Adobe RGB (1998)
File formats
Typical formats for supplied images are:
TIFF .tif extension uncompressed file format with options to save with loss-less
JPEG .jpg extension lossy compressed file format
File transmission
File names will camera output consecutive and will contain embedded IPTC data if
required. Images that are burnt and sent on CD or DVD are readable on Macintosh
and Windows operating systems. files will be sent at the requested output dimensions,
and a copy of the file at its original size will be retained.
Copyright
Images are supplied under the terms and conditions published here

Proofs
For critical work, a hard copy output that accurately reproduces the file content
will be used. Colour certification bars will be printed on the proof and
reference made to the separation profile to allow verification of the result.
