We scan at 3000 or 4000 dpi and burn the tiffs to DVD. NO need to ever rescan. Images are of publication quality with no to very little color correction. All color correction is also done within the scanning software NOT photoshop. Ideally scanning or photographing a RAW image is best save that

Hi Perian, I would recommend scanning at 600 dpi if you can afford it. It's best to scan only once, and at the highest quality you can. That way, your images are 'use neutral,' meaning they can be used and re-used for a variety of purposes. I prefer master images of archival documents to be

I would definitely scan at a minimum of 600 dpi for printed matter. That's what the National Yiddish Book Center uses for the Yiddish books they scan. It is slightly coarse, but works well for the technology (and storage space) that were available at the time. Today, I would look at 1200 or 2400

Bravo to Sam (the man with the longest title in Museum Technology) for questioning time honored advice. (Hmm... Time honored?). There are other areas where this thinking is being applied very productively, for example in software and website development. I know this topic has come up before, but

We talked about this a while ago on MCN-L. Maybe a few times? Always a good topic. Or maybe I just can't let go. Anyway, I remember making a case for disk-based storage vs. CDs. I still can't believe that in any honest estimation, storage on CD/DVD/HD-DVD is cheaper than storage on really
