2010-11-19T20:47:44Z

Cc ian01: /* Scanning */

'''Workshop Date:''' October 12th 9am - 12noon (2 sections)
==Scanning==
Using the Epson scanners in the Computer Center. See: [[Scanning - Mac]]
*Connecting to Orca programs see: [[File Space Overview]]

==Intro to Photoshop==
#'''Photoshop interface''' and navigating an image
#*Zoom: Cmd +/-
#*Hand tool: Space Bar
#'''Image resolution''' and image size
#*'''Image > image Size''' to see the overall size of your image
#'''Cropping'''
#*You can set the image size to crop to in the properties bar i.e. 100 px (remember the px)
#Image adjustments located under '''Image > Adjustments'''
#'''File > Save as'''. Choose '''TIFF''' as the file format. This will create a uncompressed image file format
#Saving for web: '''File > Save for Web & Devices'''
#*Choose the highest quality with the best (smallest) file size. Keep your images under 500K. JPG High Quality is usually a good choice.
==Creating a PDF binder==
To combine multiple images into a single pdf file:
#Launch Acrobat Pro
#Go '''File > Create PDF > Merge Files into a Single PDF'''
#Drag and drop your image files into Acrobat (TIFF or JPG)

===Scanning===
Scanning is accomplished with the use of a scanner and scanning software. An image editing program like Photoshop is useful afterward to crop, resize and adjust your image.
====How to Scan on Macintosh OS X:====
# Place the object to be scanned face down in the scanner.
# Launch '''Image Capture''' from the Applications folder.
# Drag the boundary box around the portion of the image you want to capture
# Set '''resolution''' (see below).
# Set the '''Format''' to '''TIFF''' (this is an uncompressed image file format)
# Note the '''Scan to''' location. This is where your file will be saved. You can change this.
#Click the '''Scan''' button.

Note: you may need to save your scanned file to the network space on Orca then move to another computer to continue editing in Photoshop.

===At what resolution should I scan?===
A good rule of thumb is to set the scan resolution at double what your final image’s resolution will be.

{| class="wikitable" border="1"
! Image type !! final resolution !!scan resolution
|-
| web image || 72 ||150
|-
| image for print || 300 || 600
|}

'''Small images:''' If you are going to be enlarging a small image the higher your
resolution the better the enlarged image will look. Experiment to get the best
results!
