This one-session workshop is designed to teach you how to make beautiful scans on our Epson v850 flatbed scanner and with our camera-based system for use either in printing or online. We will cover basic considerations as well as advanced setting possibilities in the scanning software. We will go through example scans in three sizes of film, including 35mm, 120mm, and 4 x 5.

Covered in the workshop:

* What are resolution (dpi/ppi), bit depth, and color channels and how do they affect my scan?
* Cleaning and loading film into the holders to minimize dust
* Basic settings for scanning b&w and color negatives, slides, and documents
* Troubleshooting dust, blurriness, Newton rings, flatness, color shifts, and other scanning issues
* File formats for saving your scan, including TIFF, jpeg, and dng
