As a digital specialist with over 30 years' worth of experience and a formal education including a B.A., I will tell you that Konrad's thought processes and practical advice are right on the mark! I make my living behind the keyboard and he is as right as rain! Don't be afraid to follow his advice! Well done, sir...a tip of my cap to you!
Konrad - Excellent and to the point - Ive been a photographer for over 40 years and although I have some knowledge and understanding of scanning youve made my life much easier now to archive those precious negatives. Thank you
Thank you so very much for this! I just bought a scanner and will be scanning my illustrations for a book and don't know what I'm doing... I am slowly learning through RU-vid videos and yours was EXTREMELY helpful and easy to understand! I am grateful!
Hello, Well I was going through your training materials and found this statement from you. If you have photos smaller than 4x6, use 900 DPI or more. I personally use 1200 DPI to scan all my smaller photos. That raises the question to me what resolution should you scan an 8 x 10 photo.
Thanks Conrad, most informative and well narrated. For your info 2 to the power of 48 = 281,474,976,710,656 Two hundred and eighty-one trillion, four hundred and seventy-four billion, nine hundred and seventy-six million, seven hundred and ten thousand, six hundred and fifty-six.
Great information! Thanks so much. Is there any advantage to using my digital SLR mounted on a copy stand and shooting raw? Will there still be too much digital information (even though the image result might be better) to store reasonably.
I use VueScan and it lets me scan a TIFF at 48 bits and create a JPEG at 24 bits with one scan. Now, what is the benefit of a two pass scan at 48 bits vs. a one pass scan at 48 bits? BTW, very nice video. Thanks.
So you know you can take a jpg into Photoshop, switch modes to 16bit. Basically you could scan a 24bit (8+8+8) file put it in PS switch modes (takes literally 1s) and your where you want to be at 48bit (16+16+16). Basically you could bake your cake and eat it too. Scan small file, save space blah blah blah. Then if you're like man I want it big though, take it into Topaz Gigapixel Ai, but the noise, put it in Denoise, but it's soft..... basically b/c we're in 2020 lots changed drastically about imaging. You can now take a old D2H and basically make it a D5 via software.
Dear sir, Thank you for your very clear explanation. My name is srinivasa murthy working as lecturer and i am from india. 10 days back i purchased hp m1005 all in one printer here in local market. They said it is most popular all in one ever. i am satisfied with its laser print out quality, but the scan quality is not good. it is a 24bit scanner and 600dpi. i have got some of my documents scanned in photo studio with epson scanner. the quality of scanning is very good.but with this hp m1005 scanner i am getting bluish back ground on the document and when i scan colour image colours are not same as original. but this is not the case with the old documents i scanned outside in photo studio. The retailer is saying this is a basic scanner hence dont expect much from it. i used to scan our family photos , but as its quality of scanning is not good i am very much disappointed with it.one more thing i observed in it is if i increase dpi i am getting yellowish dots on scanned page. please help me to solve the problem. is it possible to increase bit depth in this scanner? is there any software to improve quality of scanning? will resolution increasing image quality? i came to know that canon lide 120/220 scanner uses three colours(LED) for scanning the image and i is a cis scanner hence its quality of scanning is good. mine all in one printer uses ccd cfl lamp hence its quality is low. please show me a solution to this thank you very much srinivasa murthy
when will netflix stream in 48 bits? it's horrible when you see a scene of the sea in a movie and it's all poorly represented with color bands artifacts
My recommendation is to think of the capabilities of devices in the future. Don't use 24 bits and JPEG. Scan everything at the best possible resolution available to you now. Your kids and grandkids will thank you for it.
i actually did some rendering tests to see the difference in color compression in 24bit jpegs and 48bit pngs and although barely noticeable, there is a slight difference in "richness", 48bit images (even displayed at 24bit monitors or even 10bit monitors) can appear more vibrant. small difference visually, big difference in size :(
SiriusMined I’ve been studying colour and image reproduction for around 35 years,, I’m still acquiring knowledge,, Bit depth is about the quality of the image capture,, not the mathematical number of theoretical colours ,, it’s the purity of the capture,, You need to do a lot more homework/ and research before you properly attempt to misunderstand the complexities of the information you don’t understand,,, Bless you,, your ignorance is tantamount to amusing,,, FYI,,, as you probably already know,, the human eye reverts to black and white,, or should I say contrast contextual vision in lowlight conditions,,, that’s an interesting subject,,, Anyway,, I’m off to bed,, after a long day in the fine art reproduction ,, all information is useful for brain expansion ,, it’s putting them in the right order that promotes extensive knowledge , I could go on,, but I’m runout of 2 bit pixels,, have fun with your research,,, 🤪
@@marcusbunce3406 A. There's no way you'd been studying anything for 35 years and still have the maturity of an 11 year old who just discovered their love of internet flaming. B. The "24-bit" image in the video is at best an exaggeration and at worst a blatant lie because it's clearly got about 8 bits of color depth. I'll be generous and assume that it's an exaggeration to give the viewer a noticeable difference similar to what might occur at different higher-depth images. C. Purity and quality might be the most important aspects of image capture, but bit depth is 100% the mathematical number of theoretical colors, and that's all it will ever be. And though choosing a different set of colors to use as a palette makes a huge difference in very low-depth images, it's pointless in 24-bit or higher color depth. You need to pull your head out of your ass, you've been breathing your own fumes so long you actually convinced yourself that adding details to images that humans are provably incapable of distinguishing still somehow makes it better, as though your blimp-like ego magically granted you the ability to see color differences to an impossible level of precision.
@@Argonwolfproject 🤔 Why are you directing your comment at me dude,, My comments actually praised the original video for being informative 😉 l’ve actually been in the fine art print trade since 1981 I’m continuously learning 🤪 great teardown though,,
