Introduction 	 In this job sheet you will use the Color Picker (eyedroppers) to experiment with
Photoshop color correction features. By clicking on the neutral gray in a photo
using the appropriate color picker, the photo will rebalance itself by removing a
color cast of red (warm) or blue (cool).
Instructions 	 When you are ready to perform this task, ask your instructor to observe the
procedure and rate your performance using the evaluation criteria.
Equipment and
Materials List
	 •	 Computer workstation
	 •	 Adobe Photoshop
	 •	 File named “Unit7.WB.JS06-00” located on the Student CD
	
Procedure 	 ❏	 1. 	 Open Adobe Photoshop.
	 ❏	 2. 	 Open the RGB resource image file titled “Unit7.WB.JS06-00” located
on the Student CD.
	✔ Note:  This file contains a red color cast, checking the face, sky
and sand.
Page 42	 MAVCC—Advertising and Design
	 ❏	 3. 	 Open the Info Palette and follow the procedures in Job Sheet 5 to
add a color sample point using the Eyedropper tool just to the left of
the person’s face.
			Figure 1
			
	 ❏	 4. 	 Notice this is an area of the picture that should be a neutral gray,
meaning all three values–CMY—are close to being equal. When
looking at the Info Palette (see Figure 2), you will notice that this
picture is high in the Yellow/Magenta-Red values. A midtone should
be over 25% and below 75%. Look for values near the 50% range,
in general, by looking at the CMYK color values of the Info Palette as
you move the Color Sampler tool across the picture. A light portion
of the picture would fall below 20% and a dark portion of the picture
would fall above 80%. For right now let’s focus on the midtones of
the picture since they make up the majority of the color values found
inside most pictures.
			Figure 2
			
Job Sheet 6	 Unit 7
MAVCC—Advertising and Design	 Page 43
	 ❏	 5. 	 Follow the procedures in Job Sheet 5 to add an adjustment layer.
			Figure 3
			
	 ❏	 6. 	 Choose Curves as the adjustment type.
			Figure 4
			
	 ❏	 7. 	 Select the middle Eyedropper located in the Adjustment section of
the Curves palette (see Figure 5).
Unit 7	 Job Sheet 6
Page 44	 MAVCC—Advertising and Design
	 ❏	 8. 	 Use the selected eyedropper to click once inside the photo where
the color sample 1 is positioned to the left of the person’s face, which
affects the midtone and sets this as the photo’s gray reference point.
	✔ Note:  Figure 5 shows the tool tip that will appear if you hold your
cursor over the top of the middle eyedropper in the Adjustment
palette. This tells you what will be accomplished by choosing this
tool.
			Figure 5
		
	 ❏	 9.	 Notice the colors have all shifted from red and that the sand, sky and
person in Figure 6 now have a more natural color without the red
cast.
	✔ Note:  Figure 6 shows that the Curves Adjustment mapping lines
have all adjusted automatically inside the Curves Adjustment
palette. Photoshop will rebalance a picture by simply knowing
where the neutral grays of a picture should be located.
	 ❏	 10. 	 Experiment with other areas of the photo that you feel represent the
middle tones of a picture to see what results you are able to produce
using this technique.
Job Sheet 6	 Unit 7
MAVCC—Advertising and Design	 Page 45
	 ❏	 11. 	 Rebalance the white and dark areas of a photo (highlights and
shadows) by choosing the white eyedropper and clicking on the
arm (white) of the person or the back of her dress (black) to achieve
better balance in the highlights and shadow portions of the picture.
			Figure 6
			
	 ❏	 12. 	 Study the CMYK numbers located in the Info Palette to reveal the
before and after color cast removal of Magenta.
Unit 7	 Job Sheet 6
Page 46	 MAVCC—Advertising and Design
	 ❏	 13. 	 Study the RGB values located in the Info Palette to reveal the before
and after color cast removal of Red.
	✔ Note:   The red line is now lower, which means that the color
values for red are now lower. The blue line is slightly higher, which
means that these values in the Info Palette will be higher.
			Figure 7
		
	 ❏	 14. 	 Go to File  Save As and name the color corrected file with the
adjustment layer intact as “Unit7_JS6_YourInitials_Balance1C”.
	 ❏	 15. 	 Keep the original file (where you removed the adjustment layers) and
name it “JS6_Balance1”.
	 ❏	 16. 	 Highlight the Curves Adjustment Layer in the Layers palette and click
on it once. Click on the trash can located in the lower right corner of
the Layers Palette to remove the adjustment layer.
	✔ Note:  Remember color correction takes a lot of practice and is
also subjective to an individual’s preference.
	 ❏	 17. 	 Choose a stock RGB picture from the Internet that has a color cast
issue of being too blue (cool) or too red (warm). Repeat Steps 3
through 13 of this job sheet.
	 ❏	 18. 	 Save the original stock RGB picture by following Step 14 of this job
sheet and name the file “Unit7_JS6_YourInitials_Balance2”.

1. ClaimCenter (CC) Application (version 6.0.4 Patch 1):
CC application is hosted on two VM servers running in clustered mode. Server names are dmi-
win-gwwebp1 and dmi-win-gwwebp2. P1 is called the online server that the users having access
to ClaimCenter log into this internal web server for accessing the ClaimCenter application. P2 is
called the ClaimCenter batch server which is used for internal batch runs.
Tomcat v. 6.0.30 is the application server. ClaimCenter consists of Primary ClaimCenter
application and Contact Center application (ContactCenter is the address book that stores 1099
contacts and is accessed from within ClaimCenter). Both apps have their own Tomcat instances.
These Tomcat instances run as a Windows Service that can stop and start ClaimCenter and
Contact Center applications.
2. Oracle Database – ClaimCenter needs Oracle 11g as its database. DB server has a schema for
ClaimCenter and ContactCenter. The server also has a Logical Standby (clone of primary instance)
that is required and accessed by InetSoft Reporting application.
3. Mainframe – ClaimCenter interacts with the mainframe in following ways:
a. ClaimCenter calls Policy Search and Retrieve PMS programs used to setup a New Claim.
b. Claims Center creates and uploads four files (RESEOB, CLMXNF (PUOF), CHFILE and PPF)
via ftp which is processed by the mainframe daily batch cycle.
c. Provides access to the ClaimCenter Oracle database table that stores financial records
used for the company balancing reports.
d. Provides access to database table that stores Surcharge Tier Threshold information
accessed by a mainframe program for Surcharge Automation processing.
4. ISO – The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides a service called ClaimSearch which helps detect
duplicate and fraudulent insurance claims. When a claim is entered in ClaimCenter, details are
sent to the ISO ClaimSearch service, and get reports of potentially similar claims from other
companies.
5. Metro – Metropolitan Reporting Bureau provides a nationwide police accident and incident
reports service in the United States. Many insurance carriers use this system to obtain police
accident and incident reports to improve recordkeeping and to reduce fraud. ClaimCenter built-in
support for this service decreases deployment time for Metropolitan Reporting Bureau
integration projects, particularly for personal lines carriers.
ClaimCenter integrates with Metropolitan Reporting Bureau (Metro) using the XML Gateway for
requesting police accident and incident reports. Requestors enter all the necessary data in
ClaimCenter and then send the information through the Metro gateway. You do not need to visit
the Metro web site to request reports or to view reports.

Color Principles MAVCC—Advertising and Design Page 41 7 Objective 21 Job Sheet 6—Balance Photos By Removing Color Casts Name________________________________ Attempt Number_______ Date_________________________________ Overall Rating__________ Evaluation Criteria Rating • Instructions were followed ________ • Files show balance (vs. color casts) using color correction ________ • Four correct files submitted ________ Basic Skills Reading Critical Thinking Technology Introduction In this job sheet you will use the Color Picker (eyedroppers) to experiment with Photoshop color correction features. By clicking on the neutral gray in a photo using the appropriate color picker, the photo will rebalance itself by removing a color cast of red (warm) or blue (cool). Instructions When you are ready to perform this task, ask your instructor to observe the procedure and rate your performance using the evaluation criteria. Equipment and Materials List • Computer workstation • Adobe Photoshop • File named “Unit7.WB.JS06-00” located on the Student CD Procedure ❏ 1. Open Adobe Photoshop. ❏ 2. Open the RGB resource image file titled “Unit7.WB.JS06-00” located on the Student CD. ✔ Note: This file contains a red color cast, checking the face, sky and sand.
  • 9. Page 42 MAVCC—Advertising and Design ❏ 3. Open the Info Palette and follow the procedures in Job Sheet 5 to add a color sample point using the Eyedropper tool just to the left of the person’s face. Figure 1 ❏ 4. Notice this is an area of the picture that should be a neutral gray, meaning all three values–CMY—are close to being equal. When looking at the Info Palette (see Figure 2), you will notice that this picture is high in the Yellow/Magenta-Red values. A midtone should be over 25% and below 75%. Look for values near the 50% range, in general, by looking at the CMYK color values of the Info Palette as you move the Color Sampler tool across the picture. A light portion of the picture would fall below 20% and a dark portion of the picture would fall above 80%. For right now let’s focus on the midtones of the picture since they make up the majority of the color values found inside most pictures. Figure 2 Job Sheet 6 Unit 7
  • 10. MAVCC—Advertising and Design Page 43 ❏ 5. Follow the procedures in Job Sheet 5 to add an adjustment layer. Figure 3 ❏ 6. Choose Curves as the adjustment type. Figure 4 ❏ 7. Select the middle Eyedropper located in the Adjustment section of the Curves palette (see Figure 5). Unit 7 Job Sheet 6
  • 11. Page 44 MAVCC—Advertising and Design ❏ 8. Use the selected eyedropper to click once inside the photo where the color sample 1 is positioned to the left of the person’s face, which affects the midtone and sets this as the photo’s gray reference point. ✔ Note: Figure 5 shows the tool tip that will appear if you hold your cursor over the top of the middle eyedropper in the Adjustment palette. This tells you what will be accomplished by choosing this tool. Figure 5 ❏ 9. Notice the colors have all shifted from red and that the sand, sky and person in Figure 6 now have a more natural color without the red cast. ✔ Note: Figure 6 shows that the Curves Adjustment mapping lines have all adjusted automatically inside the Curves Adjustment palette. Photoshop will rebalance a picture by simply knowing where the neutral grays of a picture should be located. ❏ 10. Experiment with other areas of the photo that you feel represent the middle tones of a picture to see what results you are able to produce using this technique. Job Sheet 6 Unit 7
  • 12. MAVCC—Advertising and Design Page 45 ❏ 11. Rebalance the white and dark areas of a photo (highlights and shadows) by choosing the white eyedropper and clicking on the arm (white) of the person or the back of her dress (black) to achieve better balance in the highlights and shadow portions of the picture. Figure 6 ❏ 12. Study the CMYK numbers located in the Info Palette to reveal the before and after color cast removal of Magenta. Unit 7 Job Sheet 6
  • 13. Page 46 MAVCC—Advertising and Design ❏ 13. Study the RGB values located in the Info Palette to reveal the before and after color cast removal of Red. ✔ Note: The red line is now lower, which means that the color values for red are now lower. The blue line is slightly higher, which means that these values in the Info Palette will be higher. Figure 7 ❏ 14. Go to File Save As and name the color corrected file with the adjustment layer intact as “Unit7_JS6_YourInitials_Balance1C”. ❏ 15. Keep the original file (where you removed the adjustment layers) and name it “JS6_Balance1”. ❏ 16. Highlight the Curves Adjustment Layer in the Layers palette and click on it once. Click on the trash can located in the lower right corner of the Layers Palette to remove the adjustment layer. ✔ Note: Remember color correction takes a lot of practice and is also subjective to an individual’s preference. ❏ 17. Choose a stock RGB picture from the Internet that has a color cast issue of being too blue (cool) or too red (warm). Repeat Steps 3 through 13 of this job sheet. ❏ 18. Save the original stock RGB picture by following Step 14 of this job sheet and name the file “Unit7_JS6_YourInitials_Balance2”. Job Sheet 6 Unit 7

  • 15. Donegal ClaimCenter Systems 11/24/2015 Page | 1 1. ClaimCenter (CC) Application (version 6.0.4 Patch 1): CC application is hosted on two VM servers running in clustered mode. Server names are dmi- win-gwwebp1 and dmi-win-gwwebp2. P1 is called the online server that the users having access to ClaimCenter log into this internal web server for accessing the ClaimCenter application. P2 is called the ClaimCenter batch server which is used for internal batch runs. Tomcat v. 6.0.30 is the application server. ClaimCenter consists of Primary ClaimCenter application and Contact Center application (ContactCenter is the address book that stores 1099 contacts and is accessed from within ClaimCenter). Both apps have their own Tomcat instances. These Tomcat instances run as a Windows Service that can stop and start ClaimCenter and Contact Center applications. 2. Oracle Database – ClaimCenter needs Oracle 11g as its database. DB server has a schema for ClaimCenter and ContactCenter. The server also has a Logical Standby (clone of primary instance) that is required and accessed by InetSoft Reporting application. 3. Mainframe – ClaimCenter interacts with the mainframe in following ways: a. ClaimCenter calls Policy Search and Retrieve PMS programs used to setup a New Claim. b. Claims Center creates and uploads four files (RESEOB, CLMXNF (PUOF), CHFILE and PPF) via ftp which is processed by the mainframe daily batch cycle. c. Provides access to the ClaimCenter Oracle database table that stores financial records used for the company balancing reports. d. Provides access to database table that stores Surcharge Tier Threshold information accessed by a mainframe program for Surcharge Automation processing. 4. ISO – The Insurance Services Office (ISO) provides a service called ClaimSearch which helps detect duplicate and fraudulent insurance claims. When a claim is entered in ClaimCenter, details are sent to the ISO ClaimSearch service, and get reports of potentially similar claims from other companies. 5. Metro – Metropolitan Reporting Bureau provides a nationwide police accident and incident reports service in the United States. Many insurance carriers use this system to obtain police accident and incident reports to improve recordkeeping and to reduce fraud. ClaimCenter built-in support for this service decreases deployment time for Metropolitan Reporting Bureau integration projects, particularly for personal lines carriers. ClaimCenter integrates with Metropolitan Reporting Bureau (Metro) using the XML Gateway for requesting police accident and incident reports. Requestors enter all the necessary data in ClaimCenter and then send the information through the Metro gateway. You do not need to visit the Metro web site to request reports or to view reports.
  • 16. Donegal ClaimCenter Systems 11/24/2015 Page | 2 6. Audatex – Provides Auto Appraisal Service. Claims information is sent from ClaimCenter (requested by a claim rep) via an XML WebService to Audatex and asynchronously receives completed Estimates/Photos/Supplemental/Total Loss documents back into ImageRight. 7. Xactimate – Provides Property Appraisal Service. Claims information is sent from ClaimCenter via XML WebService to Xactanalysis and asynchronously receives completed estimates, photos, and other documents back into ImageRight. 8. First Notice of Loss (FNOL) Intake a. Alliance – Provides after hours claim intake service for Donegal. Claims are ftp’d from Alliance as XML to an ftp server. b. Donegal Website – Provides a portal for Agents to enter claims online. Claims are then sent to Agency Automation Service manager that transforms it into xml that ClaimCenter understands and ftp’s it to an ftp server. c. Applied – Allows agents to enter claims on Applied Software installed on their systems. An interface (managed by the WritePro team – (Vicki Nace) translates the claim information into XML and ftp’s it as XML to an ftp server. ClaimCenter runs an integration program that is scheduled by the OpsWise scheduler application to pick up XML files from ftp the server during the following timeframe: 6 am–6 pm EST Monday–Friday recurring every 5 minutes excluding holidays 9. Integration Batch server (dmi-win-gwbtch)– Below programs are executed on the batch server: a. FNOL Intake – process described in bullet 8 above. 1. ‘alliance_fnol.bat’ is the windows batch file that executes this program. It’s scheduled in OpsWise to run Monday–Friday from 6 am–6 pm, slated to run constantly cycling every 5 minutes. b. Claim Extractor – This is the process that creates the nightly CHFILE to be processed by nightly mainframe cycle. 1. ‘claimextractor.bat’ is the win batch file that executes the program to create CHFILE.txt 2. ‘ftpclaimextract.bat’ is the batch file that executes the program to ftp the flat file to the ftp server is – dmi-win-dmvftp It’s scheduled in OpsWise to run Monday–Friday from 6:15 pm. c. Check Extractor – This is the process that creates the nightly PPFFILE to be processed by nightly mainframe cycle. Includes the text to be actually printed on the checks. 1. ‘checkextractor.bat’ is the win batch file that executes the program to create PPFFILE.txt
