This photo of photographers was made in the mid-nineteen eighties on Kodachrome. Let’s look at some considerations when selecting film images to scan. In some cases, for those who shot film way back, the physical condition of certain types of film will play a big role in the process. In short, consider which images stand the test of time. Perhaps your tastes have changed or you may have become more discerning in terms of image quality. This helps in the editing process, especially if you have a large volume of work. When considering past work take time to “digest” whether that work still holds meaning for you. (I’ll go over different types of scanners and their benefits in a future section.) Have only 35mm work? Then a dedicated 35mm scanner would be a good choice, although some higher-end flatbeds will do the job as well. Have a large file of 4×5’s or medium format images? Then a flatbed would probably be your best choice. Once you do you can then decide on which scanner, and software, you might want to use. My suggestion is that you first take the time to edit your work. Hold off: the most time consuming and crucial part of the process is figuring out what you want to scan, and then pick your scanner. While you might think the first thing to do is run out and buy a good scanner. ![]()
