Week Five

Scanning!
-drum scanner- top of the line scanner
-flat bed scanner
-lights and lenses on the base and top
- if not touching the glass out of focus
- film uses a different lens, focuses on a different point
- size up to a3 or a3 but are worth a lot
- when scanning film emulsion side down, shiny side up
- plastic film holder
- epson scan - unisa
-professional mode
-most have adjustibility
-negatives are not reflective
- doc type= film and film holder
-blk and white neg / colour
- wait for scanner lights to be correct temp
-preview
- crop how much needed
- adjustments - histogram, pull black and white markers
- picture faulty - light let in = tell it where the light is to correct the light without losing image (face)
-thumb nail unclicked - loses edge
-film has a cast - in colour
- Resolution - only to its optical limit
- optical limit is 240
-eg 9600 dpi divided by 240 = 40 inch print/ 100 m /1meter
- keep at original size in order to stop computer from filing in pixels
-clean negatives to avoid dust spots
- fog -dodge and burn in shad, high, mid tones
- 255 pure white in R,G, B
-match hardness with hardness of edge - photoshop
- hair - drop opacity
 - layer mask doesn't delete, lets you hide  - paint brush white more black erase
- larger the file the bigger the radius should be - no more that 2
