2 DEFINITIONS
2.1 A monochrome work fitting from the very dark grey

work with the various shades of grey. A monochrome
work toned entirely in a single colour will remain
a monochrome work able to stand in the monochrome
category.
2.2 A monochrome image modified by a partial toning
or by the addition of one colour becomes a colour
work (polychrome) to stand in the colour category.
This and other images fall into the colour category.
2.3 A digital image is
defined as input processed digitally whether by way
of a digital camera or by scanning of film or film
derived print.
