Objectives
Impart knowledge about different photographic media through practical and experimental understanding gained from using glass negatives, slides, black and white film, color film, in different formats: 35mm, 6x6, 6x9.5, 6x12.
Understanding and analysis of different digital capture systems: scanner, light box, 35mm negative/slide duplicator.
Criteria for digitizing transparencies in terms of histograms, metadata insertion, and digital post-production.
Awareness of the practice of digitizing analog media in the preservation of collective memory.
Program
Understanding how different capture devices and their respective software work.
Scanning methods for black and white negatives, color negatives, and color slides.
Including metadata in scanned images using Bridge software and image editing in CC.
Understanding the interaction between camera, flash, and computer.
