A Constructive Comparison Framework for Colour Vision Deficiency Photographer in Digital Photography

Abstract

Color vision deficiency (CVD) is the most common inherited disorder, with 1 in 20 men and 1 in 200 women affected. This situation ultimately gives disadvantages to photographers in digital photography. Individuals who suffer from CVD are unable to relish art since they are confused with objects and their colors. As a necessary consequence, researchers developed a constructive framework to improve CVD photographer visions by incorporating techniques of HSx (Hue, Saturation, Brightness), Contour Adjustment, Interpretation Process into photography. The impact of CVD towards digital photography from the perspective of colour naturalness, consistency, and contrast gained by comparing the differences between normal and CVD artwork. Experiment method is applied, and sampling is purposely selected consists of photographers. The samples meet specific requirements with similar skills. Samples consist of 40 photographers (n=40), and the samples are divided into two groups of Control Group and Treat Group with 20 respondents (n=20). Control group samples are tested with the original image with full instructions while in the Treat group with a different approach of CVD images with limited instructions. Questions consist of Hue, Saturation, Brightness (HSx) Based Method, Contour Enhancement, and Interpretation Process. Research findings assumed; this constructive framework competent in guiding CVD photographers to achieve better colour perception in digital photography.
