Many photographers have either moved into digital photography
exclusively or use both analog and digital media in their work. In
either case, there is sure to be an archive of slides and negatives
that cannot be directly integrated into the new digital workflow, nor
can it be archived in a digital format. Increasingly, photographers are
trying to bridge this gap with the use of high-performance film
scanners. The subject of this book is how to achieve the best possible
digital image from a negative or a slide, and how to build a workflow
to make this process efficient, repeatable, and reliable. The author
uses Nikon's film scanners, but all steps can easily be accomplished
while using a different scanner. The most common software tools for
scanning (SilverFast, VueScan, NikonScan) are not only covered
extensively in the book, but are also provided on a DVD, which also
contains other useful tools for image editing, as well as numerous
sample scans.
