A couple of comments regarding the use of grayscale and color bars: - due to differences between dyes and/or pigments used to make the color bars and the materials used to produce the actual artwork, accurately rendering the grayscales in a particular image may NOT produce the most accurate rendition of the artwork itself. - If there is some visual editing to tweak color into place (hopefully under calibrated viewing conditions with direct comparisons to the original artwork), then another operator who may be printing the image later will most likely UNDO those edits if they assume that the image is rendered correctly by printing a neutral grayscale. - There is some interest in the production of "virtual" grayscales and color bars. These would be digitally dropped into the edited and color corrected image with the same colorspace as the original image. Then other users would achieve better color when they match the grayscale and color bars. - If it is your decision to incorporate grayscales and color bars, then it is really not good practice to only do it once for a "batch". It is too difficult to mate up the correct grayscales with subsequent images-- especially years hence. Put them in every image. Stanley Smith Manager, Imaging Services J.

We replace the targets every 6 months or so and keep them in their enclosures within light tight drawers to minimize fading. Just yesterday, one of my interns from the art department questioned the quality of one of our scans of a Robert Heinecken photograph. I pointed out to her that because the artist was experimental in his approach, the images did not always look like one would expect a full toned black and white photograph to look. The clue was in the appearance of the targets and the tonal percentages we measure within them. The National Archives and Records Administration guidelines below are particularly useful as they suggest specific values to aim for in the black, white and middle gray of the Kodak targets. The NARA target recommendations are very closely aligned with recommendations we have garnered from pre-press digital professionals for creating publication quality scans. See pages 35 and 36 in the guidelines below for handy illustrations. http://www.archives.gov/preservation/technical/guidelines.html Based on Tim Atherton's comments, I wish a similar guide would be published that references the Greytag MacBeth targets. Kodak targets are getting hard to find. If anyone has seen a publication comparable to the NARA guidelines that reference the MacBeth targets I would be interested in learning about it.

Numerous times during the course of the campaign, our advertisements or web videos have been the subject of DMCA takedown notices regarding uses that are clearly privileged under the fair use doctrine. The uses at issue have been the inclusion of fewer than ten seconds of footage from news broadcasts in campaign ads or videos, as a basis for commentary on the issues presented in the news reports, or on the reports themselves. These are paradigmatic examples of fair use... It's heartening to see a presidential campaign recognize the importance of fair use and "remix culture" (the Obama-Biden campaign has also been the victim of frivolous takedowns from big media companies, so this is a bipartisan problem). EFF, the ACLU, Harvard's Citizen's Media Law Project, and Stanford's Fair Use Project have been making the same point for several years now. EFF has also been providing direct legal assistance to victims of DMCA abuse. Unfortunately, the solution proposed by the McCain campaign addresses only the tip of the iceberg: [W]e believe that it would consume few resources--and provide enormous benefit--for YouTube to commit to a full legal review of all takedown notices on videos posted from accounts controlled by (at least) political candidates and campaigns. The obvious problem with this solution? It assumes that YouTube should prioritize the campaigns' fair use rights, rather than those of the rest of us. That seems precisely backwards, since the most exciting new possibilities on YouTube are for amateur political expression by the voters themselves. After all, the campaigns have no trouble getting the same ads out on television and radio, options not available to most YouTubers. Let's start by identifying the real villains here: the major news media outlets. They are the ones censoring these political ads, based on the use of a few seconds of their footage. The networks need to back off and give fair use a wide berth. So let's start by shaming the bad guys here. In addition, lawsuits might help. Under the DMCA, both the campaigns themselves and YouTube have standing to sue those who send clearly bogus takedown notices. (EFF has represented video creators in a number of these cases, including against Viacom.) There are other possible solutions, as well. Stay tuned for our specific ideas on what YouTube can do to protect fair use while staying within the bounds of its DMCA safe harbor protection (hint: as the McCain-Palin letter points out, you don't need a safe harbor if the video isn't infringing, something that human review by YouTube should be able to determine). UPDATE: The McCain-Palin campaign has identified the news outlets behind the YouTube removals: CBS, Fox News, and the Christian Broadcasting Network. We noted above that NBC has targeted an Obama- Biden video for removal. That's four news entities that should know better." _______________________________________________ ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 09:47:30 -0400 From: "Genevieve De mahy" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [MCN-L] photography, digitization, and a color/grey card?

The CWM recently digitized over 6,800 official photographs from the First World War, most of which had been stuck in albums for decades. The decision was made to remove them from the deteriorating condition of the albums themselves, and we were left with every kind of problem from color fade to cracking. We went ahead with careful scanning nonetheless and always used a color bar in that process. Even though this initiative was funded in support of our latest online project, the now digital photos selected from this collection for use in the module were then cropped to remove the color bar for the shows version of the captured image. I insisted on ensuring the primary archival function of the artifact was prominent over the one-time "show" requirement, regardless of the extra resources required to accomplish it, and it has served us well. Not only is the show a great success, showing 261 of the beautiful images, but our Image Reproduction Services reports requests for other images from the collection, and because they have the Master digital to work with, color bar and all, they can accommodate the broadest range of requests without having to manipulate the original, fragile, image again. My suggestion would be not to short change yourself on future use, take the time now to ensure it is done for years to come.

Unfortunately, following Justice Potter Stewart's famous adage "I know it when I see it" isn't good enough here. The planning committee needs to articulate a clear definition. To this end, we'd like to know "How does your institution define digitization? Second, does your institution have a strategic plan for digitization that it would share with the committee? We are not looking for IT plans, but plans that outline how an institution has chosen to identify what it will digitize, how it will digitize the chosen materials, and how it will make these digital assets accessible.] Many thanks.

If you simply want to download or upload files from an existing source, then an FTP Client is what you want, and there are several good free ones. I use FileZilla and it is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Another Windows option is WS_FTP, and other Mac options are Fetch and CyberDuck. On the other hand, if you want to set up a file repository to make files available remotely to yourself or others, then you need a FTP Server, and there are also several good free ones. Again, FileZilla offers a good product, although it runs only on Windows. Other options for Mac or Linux are ProFTPd or PureFTPd.

I am more comfortable with Filezilla and use it for more traditional FTP sites, but WinSCP's use of SCP means I end up using it for one other site I connect to on a regular basis (this site doesn't allow FTP or SFTP) Perian Sully Collections Information and Web Programs Manager Judah L.
