Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives
by Rocky Nook (Paperback)

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. In this 2nd edition, you will learn 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.

Mastering Digital Scanning with Slides, Film, and Transparencies
by Course Technology PTR (Paperback)

According to the Photo Marketing Association's 2003 Review and Forecast, 988 million rolls of film will be sold in the United States alone, along with another 210 million one-time-use film cameras. We're as likely to see filmless photography anytime soon as we are to work in a paperless office. "Mastering Digital Imaging with Slides, Film, and Transparencies" approaches this hot topic from the photographer's viewpoint rather than that of the graphics guru or PC hardware maniac. It covers do-it-yourself solutions, like slide copy attachments for digital cameras (a widely available but almost unknown accessory) and building your own back-light source for your flatbed.
