Film Scanning with a Digital Camera – free workshop, Apr. 28

  • by

Come learn about this exciting new way to unlock the value of – and to help preserve – your valuable film library.

This evening workshop will present an affordable and rapid method for creating digital scans from your film by using a digital camera.

The camera scanning technique can create reproduction-quality scans of film quickly and easily. The film is photographed in the same way that duplicate slides used to be made (and can be done with some of the same hardware).  Once the film has been copied with the digital camera, you can use current image editing techniques to make color and tonal corrections to the images – as single images, or in bulk.

The Camera Scanning techniques work particularly well for black and white negatives, and for color transparencies.  Color negatives can also be scanned, but the color-correction process is more difficult and time consuming.  Come learn about this exciting new way to unlock the value of – and to help preserve – your valuable film library.

Wednesday, April 28, at the NOPA Gallery. Program begins at 6:30pm, doors at 6pm. FREE and open to the public. Attendees please register by emailing: programming@neworleansphotoalliance.org
