With current tools like smartphones and photocopiers, digital images of paper or photographs can be captured in a snap. While these quick and easy methods might work for instant online sharing and social media, they are not the best choice for scans you want to keep long term. This class will cover basic digital imaging concepts and considerations to keep in mind when digitizing for future access. Topics to be covered will include planning your digital project, imaging specifications, equipment, simple image correction and retouching methods, storage, optical character recognition, and metadata.

Please register as space is limited.
