Inputs#

Due: Week 5 — February 12

This technical assignment will explore analog input methods available for digital image-making. Through the process of scanning analog source materials, you will learn and demonstrate the best practices for resolution, sharpening, and editing digital images while simultaneously considering final output constraints.

Select any previously exposed negatives or positives and scan them according to the following requirements:

Scan 1 colour negative or positive using an Imacon Flextight scanner to produce an image file of 20×30 inches at 300 PPI.
Scan 1 colour negative, positive, OR reflective print using an Epson flatbed scanner to produce an image file of 16×20 inches at 300 PPI.
Convert 1 digital RAW file to produce an image of 8×10 inches at 300 PPI.

Apply image density and colour corrections with no clipped details or visible casts. All files should be clean at 100% with no visible dust, scratches, or obvious defects.

Save your corrected image files in unflattened TIFF, PSD, or PSB format with organized and labelled layers. Save your file with the naming convention of first and last name followed by the image dimensions:

Example: adam-simms-imacon-20x30.psd
Example: adam-simms-flatbed-16x20.psd
Example: adam-simms-raw-8x10.psd

Send your layered files via WeTransfer to the instructor.
