Digital imaging technician

How it is used

Often shortened to DIT. The technician may help set a temporary viewing look, meaning the colour and contrast used to judge images on set; this is not necessarily the final grade.

Example sentences

1. The digital imaging technician checked the shadows on a calibrated monitor.

   The monitor helps assess image detail during the shoot.

2. Ask the digital imaging technician which viewing look was used yesterday.

   The question concerns a viewing choice, not the final grade.
