Module 3 - question as to how accurate markings need to be
      #659258 - 25/05/2008 15:58

Am looking at requirements of module 3 and on looking at the first question where the requirement is to mark around the lightest and darkest points of the image.

How accurate does the marking require to be?

There is one area when viewed at normal magnification where a light spot does not show, but when viewed at higher magnification shows up. When marked (highlighted in yellow, for example) it is nearly impossible to see where the light point is when viewed again at normal magnification.

Am I being to critical?

Is it OK to highlight the dark and light points in the same colour?

Sorry if these sound trivial but ........

Thanks

Dave

Hi, a dot or arrow would be fine - I would put mine on here but you don't catch me out that easily! And it's not a spot the ball competiton I promise - there are a couple of areas that are clearly highlights and shadows and they are bigger than a couple of pixels!

And I should think it should be clear which is highlight and shadow from the areas you mark so no need to use different colours - I suppose you could put a H and an S - that'll about cover it,
