In the case of repurposing a digital photograph from the public domain and changing the color scheme to match a designer's style, the appropriate action would be:
**The original source must be credited even if the image is in the public domain.**
While public domain works can be used freely without the need for permission or licensing, giving credit to the original source is considered good practice and maintains transparency in design. It also honors the creator's contribution to the work, even if the copyright has expired.
