<br />
I haven't blogged a lot this year as it has turned out to be a very busy year digitising and restoring images. I am fortunate to work with many interesting and wonderful people ranging from individuals with one off jobs to larger scale collections.<br />
<br />
There were projects for all sorts of occasions - wedding anniversaries, birthday parties; individual and professional genealogical and historical research projects, small archives, artists and insurance claims. I provided images for specialist funeral headstones and digital and print displays. I scanned, photographed and reproduced a whole range of items - documents, artworks, photos, slides, negatives.... making discoveries along the way identifying a tintype and an ambrotype (both unusual in NZ) as well as a photo over 1metre in length.....<br />
<br />
Mid year I undertook a course on the Care and Identification of Photographs with Gawain Weaver through the Northern States Conservation Centre to hone my skills in photographic and print identification and storage. I can now help my clients with preserving their original images as well as dating their photos....<br />
<br />
We have also introduced a new service digitising 8mm and 16mm movies...<br />
<br />
So from all of us at Carterworks, season's greetings and best wishes for the new year!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
At Carterworks we scan and digitize thousands of colour photographic prints, slides and negatives.<br />
<br />
When it comes to digitizing colour photos from certain eras it is better, if possible, to scan the negative. Why is this? If you scan a colour print and compare it to a scan of the negative used to make that print you will notice differences between the scans. This difference is particularly obvious in prints and negatives produced circa 1980s - 1990s. These differences are not due to scanner settings or the type of scanner. We know this as our systems are colour controlled. To illustrate this point we scanned negatives and their corresponding prints from our own collection.<br />
<br />
What we found:<br />
<br />
<b>1. Scans taken from original negatives have a greater colour range than the scans of their corresponding colour prints.</b> Some of this difference can be explained by the limitations of print technology and inks at the time of printing; the remainder can be attributed to environmental exposure and the unstable nature of colour photography. Another reason is the addition of black in the shadows at the time the print was made. Black was added to made the print images look sharper but this means information and colour is lost in the shadows. The negative does not have this loss of detail.<br />

<b>2. Prints often have a distinctive colour cast</b>. This is caused by a mechanism employed by the chemical photo labs in the past to "improve a photo" which was to add a wash of whatever the dominant colour was in the image being developed.<br />
<br />
We first discovered these differences when we scanned in a series of photos we took in the early 90s of Art Deco buildings in Napier, NZ. At the time the images were shot many of these buildings were predominantly painted with a soft pastel neutral background of white or cream and colour was used to pick out the building decoration. We noticed that a lot of our prints of these buildings had a colour cast which was in the same colour range as the buildings trim. However this colour cast could not be seen in a scan of the corresponding original negative. These colour casts are obvious when compared to the original scan of the corresponding negatives, see examples above and below..<br />

The marks remind me of crop marks used by print designers when laying out publications either to indicate page edges or where to crop an image. I am wondering if these marks were added by the photographer to assist the picture framer. So far my research has not been able to confirm this. Have you seen this on any of your old photos do you know what these marks indicate? <br />

Some time ago a client approached me about digitising a collection of early lantern slides. Lantern slides are squarish glass slides that contain a mounted photographic transparency and are designed to be displayed in a magic lantern projector. Magic lantern projectors date back to the 17th Century and use a concave mirror at the back of a light source to direct the light through a lantern slide onto a lens which is adjusted to display the image on the slide onto a wall or screen. Early lantern slides were hand painted images, then later the slides were printed using either photographic or photomechanical processes.<br />

Lantern slides are positive images made from a negative. The image is mounted on a glass plate and covered with a glass cover which is taped at the edges. Lantern slide shows were either for entertainment or educational purposes. My client's slides dated from the 1920s and were black and white photographic images her Grandfather used to illustrate a presentation he made to the <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><i>Nelson Literary Scientific and Philosophical Institute.</i></span> The slides and talk were about the hill tribes of Assam in north east India where he lived for some years.<br />

Scanning the slides involved a two stage process - a reflective scan to record the image surround which contained important image captions and a second transparent positive scan. In the second scan the scanner light is transmitted through the slide in the same manner as a magic lantern. The combination of shining light through the slide; the fact the slide sits directly below the scan head with no additional scanner glass and the auto focus function, enables a very clear high resolution scan. Lantern slides are encased in glass so it is important to identify the emulsion side to get a clear scan. Like glass plate negatives Lantern slides need to be handled carefully with gloves to avoid fingermarks and breakage.<br />

<br /></div>
Sometimes I receive photos to restore that have suffered from chemical damage and it is one of the reasons why it is so important to capture a digital copy of a photo before it deterioates further. Chemical damage includes a whole range of reactions - two common ones being silvering out and sulphiding.<br />
<br />
Silvering out is caused by chemical breakdown of the silver used to form the image in 19th and 20th century photographs. The silver reacts with atmospheric contaminants such as hydrogen sulphide and peroxides leaving a bluish or green tarnish in the darker areas of the photo....<br />
<br />

Sulphiding is where this reaction causes the photo to change from black to brown and create overall fading.<br />

Over time these chemical reactions lead to a loss of photographic information or unsightly distortions and marks on the image. Luckily both these images were captured in time and have been restored by Carterworks.<br />

The National Gallery of Australia recommends that photos should be displayed away from direct light, ideally behind UV glass and in temperatures of around 21 C and with a relative humidity of 50%. They also recommend that photos<br />
<br />
<em>be mounted and framed or interleaved and stored with archival quality chemically stable acid-free plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester. Archival paper products should be neutral pH, unbuffered and lignin, sulphur and peroxide free. One sure way to determine if something is archival quality is to check if the material passes the American National Standards Institute Photographic Activity Test (ANSIPAT) </em>.<br />

Like many New Zealanders I had family who went to Gallipoli as young men. My Grandfather returned, sadly his older brother Guy did not. I was prompted to start research into my Great Uncle's story by a trip my son took to Europe, where he saw Guy's grave at Gallipolli.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My family held papers showing the location of his grave and a photo which I digitized and restored. I found information from the Auckland Museum Cenotaph database and obtained his war records from Archives NZ. My Great Uncle served with the Auckland Mounted Rifles. I found another photo of Guy in the Auckland Public library photographic collection that was similar to our family one. As this photo was only partially identified, I was able to give the library his details. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">More recently I uncovered additional family information including his First World War diary, which ends the day before his death (less than a month after his landing at Gallipoli) and a Scrapbook of condolence letters and telegrams sent to his family following his death.</span> </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I have digitized and produced facsimile copies of both the diary and the condolence book and photos. Digitization has enabled me to share these items within the family. Recently our family shared these at a commemorative service that was held at the local church my Great Uncle and his family belonged to. Following the service, descendants of the original letter writers were a able to view the letters in the scrapbook.</span> These items have given our family some understanding of the devastating impact that this had on Guy's family back in NZ</div>

Recently I was reading the magazine section of a newspaper and was surprised by the poor quality of some of the images in an article I was reading. The images were blurred in parts and had lost resolution and information, I suspect due to the fact that they were never scanned properly in the first place, that is, the resolution they were scanned at was not sufficient for publication.<br />
<br />
A lot of people think that scanning an image just involves putting it in a scanner and pushing a button - easy-peasy - so why pay someone?<br />
<br />
The answer is its not just a matter of having good scanning equipment - its knowing how to get the best out of your equipment, the right settings and the right resolution for the purpose.<br />
<br />
Before I scan I analyse the image to gauge things like its detail and also damage.<br />
<br />
I ask:<br />

<li style="text-align: left;">What is the best digital format. If they are colour images for example, I want to try and capture as much of the colour as possible</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">If they are damaged. I want to give people the option of being able to fix them, if not now - maybe in the future.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scanning is also about knowing the best format to save your digital images for the future. So if you have a collection of slides, negatives or photos call me because I can help you with your scanning needs.</div>

Ashwini produces beautiful digital water and batik effect images as well as detailed black and white ink works. Ashwini approached me to print these for her when she sells her images on the Craft Gallery - a new online Gallery featuring works of Australian and New Zealand artists.<br />

So you are back from the Christmas holidays with a pile of snaps....<br />
<br />
Hopefully you have downloaded them onto your computer and backed them up in the cloud or elsewhere. And you filed them so you can easily find them? Maybe you haven't? Are they still sitting on the camera?.<br />
<br />
Whoops!.......<br />
<br />
<b>Well its the new year, there is no time like the present to get organised!</b><br />
<br />
There are many different ways of organising your digitized images. Our personal collection of digitized images consists of scanned negatives,slides and photos as well as digital photos, videos, and movies plus we have music sound recordings. We chose to place our digital data into folders based on the date they were taken/ recorded, then into sub-folders based on subject. The date folders are named based on the year and month they were taken. Our file folder notations look like this:-<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUh3IwOAmLJ-QDGaIVc2vOSJOmvaC8nYzg6muA1f-lq_TARaVsh__bKu9yqWnj_RsAa2LD9ebQWGsTMPYLCJ6qsaiebuvI09tTmyG11mnvMbVtg5W7JZwNBiimmD8PgvftI0X8v9ltD1L/s1600/tinyfile.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlUh3IwOAmLJ-QDGaIVc2vOSJOmvaC8nYzg6muA1f-lq_TARaVsh__bKu9yqWnj_RsAa2LD9ebQWGsTMPYLCJ6qsaiebuvI09tTmyG11mnvMbVtg5W7JZwNBiimmD8PgvftI0X8v9ltD1L/s1600/tinyfile.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a>201401</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
201402</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
201412</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
201501</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
2014 indicates the year and the suffix 01, 02 and 03 indicates the month - January, February, March etc.Using a number based system like this means that the files will automatically sort in chronological order. <br />
<br />
Within each date folder individual images, recordings and movies are sorted into sub-folders which are given topic or event names based on their subject matter, for example: Johns birthday, Beach trip, Flowers in the garden.<br />
<br />
This system allows us to continue to add to it using the same notation. As we scan older images they can slot in at earlier dates....newer images under later dates....<br />

<br /></div>
This year at Carterworks we have had the privilege of producing a range of giclee prints for local Wellington artists. Giclee prints are high resolution archival prints. Nicky Kane is an established Wellington based multi-media artist. Nicky asked me to reproduce one of her paintings as well as a pen and ink work of a native bird that she will be offering for sale. As an artist I understand how important it is to reproduce colours accurately as close as possible to the original artwork. I was able to work with Nicky to achieve a print result that captured her stunning original. <br />

As well as client projects, I have been digitising of Kelburn Normal School's photographic collection in time for the school centenary which was held in May this year. The Centenary turned out to be a great event with 300 attending on the first night and many more on the Saturday for official opening, viewing of displays, and entertainment. On the Sunday some returned to take a more leisurely look at the photos.<br />
<br />
Kelburn School has an impressive photo collection ranging from formal class and sport photos, to music and drama, events and happenings over the years, plus images of the school and teachers. To date Carterworks has scanned over 1300 images and that is only to 1998! (It excludes documents and photo key notes).<br />
<br />
Over 30 people sent in photos many using the Carterworks file uploader to load images from around New Zealand, Australia and England....so even those who could not make it on the day could contribute. <br />
<br />
From past experience with reunions I knew that having original photos on display was not a good idea, partly because many of the photos were small and secondly photos are fragile and can get damaged. As all the images had been archived scanned to international standards it was easy to convert and enlarge them on to A4 sheets for display. Admittedly the schools printer was kept busy for 3 to 4 days! The prints filled over 40 square metres of display area. The boards were placed in 6 classrooms around the school for the main open day and in the hall on the Sunday. There were so many images table tops and walls were also used.. <br />
<br />
Below are some shots of people enjoying the photo displays on Saturday.<br />

<br />
The work continues....<br />
From 1998 onwards the school had class photos on display in the school hallways and stairwells. Those photos not in a digital format (from the late 1990s to 2008) will be digitised over the coming months to complete the project.....<br />
