Digitisation • Scanning or photographing? • Speed vs. quality • Special cases: 3D objects, curling paper, large items, quality of print etc.
Photography Not aiming for archive quality photos, but hope for more than more than ‘happy amateur’ snaps.
To think about: space light power background minimize post-processing
Connect camera to computer to operate, pre-view, name files directly
Scanning Good for: quality hold things flat Drawbacks: can be sloooow
Good for curled paper Scanning >1 object may save timebut requires post-processing
