Book Reviews of Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives

Book Review: Good info
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a great book for the novice scanner looking to improve. I bought it because I was considering buying the Nikon Coolscan V ED scanner. This book has a lot of before and after pictures that show you what the features or settings do. Yes, I bought the scanner and yes it performs just as described in the book.

Summary of Scanning Negatives and Slides: Digitizing Your Photographic Archives

A large number of contemporary photographers have either moved into digital photography exclusively or use both analog and digital media in their work. In either case, there is most likely an archive of slides and negatives which cannot be directly integrated into the new digital workflow, nor can it be archived in a digital format. More and more, photographers are trying to bridge this gap using high-performance film scanners.

How to achieve the best possible digital image from a negative or slide, and how to build a workflow to make this process efficient, repeatable, and reliable, is the subject of this book. The author uses Nikon's filmscanners throughout, but all steps can easily be followed 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 CD along with other useful tools for image editing, as well as numerous sample scans.
