Scanner: smattering general.

One of the most tedious and frustrating the marriage of film and the internet is scanerizzazione images. There is no escape. Anyone who works analogue and want a minimum of visibility on the web we must pass. aside too expensive hardware solutions and professional services very affordable, the only real alternative is the flatbed scanner. We are talking about the various Epson V500, V700, V750 or the CanoScan 8800F, 9950F, etc ... to mention the most popular

The basic concept is to get a scan as neutral as possible, disabling all the automatic software / hardware and thus leaving the user the ability to manage every aspect of the scan. The setting of each parameter to arrive at this result is fully described in the discussion above. Read it, and let bookmarkatela yours. Another fundamental aspect is the setting of the dpi according to
real capabilities of your scanner. To do this, their own tests to avoid complications, I suggest that instead of reading any review of your scanner on the internet since it is always a given set. For example my CanoScan 8800F can read up to about 1900 dpi and 4800 declared by the manufacturer (!).

If you decide to give it to scan negatives or color images will always remember that due to a dominant medium of film. The adjustment of white point is a required step. Do it.

For now I'll stop here. I have touched so many (too many?) Without entering into the arguments of anyone. So if you have any questions are welcome. probably return in the future on the subject. Crawling is a fundamental aspect in the production chain hybrid analog / digital and often many do not have to leaving the box on to the automation of software amateur. It 's a sin.
