In years past, before the days of digital cameras, many people used colour film to produce slides which were proudly shown with a home projector. That older technology has now been replaced by scanners, computers, DVD players, and colour TV. So this workshop is aimed to "rescue" those old slides, and to transfer them on to CDs for showing on any computer or DVD player. The workshop is an introduction to scanning for digitising slides and photographs. Simple enhancement methods for improving the images will be included. The course will use the multifunction HP-C7180 scanner, which has scanning, printing, and photocopying functions. It can convert slides to digital files, four at a time.
A good level of Computer Skills is required for this course.
You own scanner is not necessary for this workshop as the SNEB HP Photosmart will be used.
Scanners usually come bundled with software programs for editing pictures. Examples of these are Adobe's Photoshop Elements, ArcSoft's PhotoStudio, the freeware Paint.net, and Picasa (free from Google).
The course will be restricted to three participants only.
