Light• In the real world,
Luminosities range from:
No Light
Infinitely Bright
![Page 6: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Light meter• The light meter can
only measure a middling range of Luminosities: Bright EV 17
1 EV = x 2
Dark EV 5
![Page 7: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Film Emulsion• The Film Emulsion can

Film Emulsion• If the film stock has a dynamic
range of 7 EVs it has a tonal range of 27 = 128 levels
• If the film stock has a dynamic range of 8 EVs it has a tonal range of 28 = 256 levels
• If the film stock has a dynamic range of 9 EVs it has a tonal range of 29 = 512 levels

suffers in that it– Is scanning a print that
already has a reduced luminosity range
– Is scanning the print by reflection

The Monitor• This is adjustable via:
– Brightness– Contrast– Gamma
all of which must be calibrated, set and never again adjusted for consistent results.

The Print• The Print, being a reflective
medium is only as bright as the base paper and the light source
• And as dark as the minimum reflectance
![Page 15: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Luminous Range• Strive to retain the highest
range of luminosities at EACH conversion.
![Page 16: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Luminous Range• Transparent Film has a higher latent DMAX
than Print, so use a FILM SCANNER, min DMAX = 3.6
• Use the best image sources• IF possible scan to 16-bit greyscale and
retain for a.l.a.p.
• Ensure scanner settingsdeliver a histogram showing even distribution over the full range.
![Page 17: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Caution• Care when modifying the image
– BRIGHTNESS– CONTRAST
• A pixel cannot be brighter than 255– Burn out
• A picture cannot possess a greater dynamic range than 256
![Page 18: Digital Imaging By Philip Lawson Digital Imaging The Basics - Scanning and Printing The Master Image Working with Layers Working with Channels Black](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070415/5697bfab1a28abf838c9b378/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Colour• In the real world, Colour
is absolute and of infinite variation
• Each Primary R, G & B, may be thought of as a Colour Luminosity and follows similar degradation
No Light
Infinitely Bright

Colour Range• Use a scanner that Optimises the
dynamic range of each colour independently.
• Colour Casts can easily be eliminated• Take care when modifying the image
– BRIGHTNESS– CONTRAST
• Ink is not permanent. Protect from extreme light sources and Save data files.

The Printer• This means that the actual colour
resolution of the 1440 dpi printer is only 90 patches per inch, or about 1/100th of an inch.
• Newer Ink Jet technology is capable of variable dot size (4 only)
• Dye Sublimation is capable of variable dot density – better!

The Printer• The Printer software (driver) will
make the best job of this (and must do the final dithering as only it “knows” how best to do this in order to minimise pattern effects )
• To increase the Image Size in Photoshop using RESAMPLING RESAMPLING might make a better job of it but the file sizes will cause the computerto overheat!!

The Printer• This discrepancy between the file size
4000 x 2700 pixels = 32Mb• and the print size
23,000 x 17,280 = 397 Million dots.
(which would need 1.2Gbytes)• must be created• This is called INTERPOLATIONINTERPOLATION• If you must, increase the Image Size to
360 d.p.i. (Best Setting for Dot Matrix Printers)

Conclusions• Scan the image to the
highest resolution you can• Use a slide/negative scanner
if possible

Conclusions• Never throw information
(colour or resolution away) unless CROPPING

• Always save your work– The original Scan, cleaned and
corrected– Any critical mid-points– The end result, printable version– A small JPEG version, thumbnail, for
the index files.
• The cheapest form of storage is CD-R (Recordable CD)
