Two thoughts, 1) If you're scanning images from the past, then the workflow is important. Pre-scan, settings, scan. Tedious, but it will get you there. If you capture the full range of exposure over the widest range of bits, then you have all you need to do colour/tone etc. in Photoslop or whatever environment. Legacy stuff can depend a huge amount on condition which sucks up touch labor. I wrote about this a few years ago here ... the Pre-scan can include dry & wet cleaning steps, demounting to enable that, remounting to fit better in the digitizing device, etc. There's limited opportunity for labor saving through economies-of-scale batching. 2) If you're scanning 'current work' and your technical abilities with shooting film are decent, then the scanning work is far less due to consistency (same film types used often, proper exposure, etc.). Sure. Recent stuff is more amenable and the trade-off is deciding if to pay someone to do it (so that it actually gets done) versus burning the touch labor one's self. The crush here is less time for photography and that's mostly digital in any case... As well as competing against other priorities of non-photographic nature(s). FWIW, one thing that I have accomplished on photo interests this month has been to pull out and recharge my strobe batteries, to prevent them from dying from natural discharge from months & months of non-use. -hh |
