Record keeping

Keeping records when scanning is important. It allows for results to be reproduced as well as a good reference for settings when new images are scanned. Records are also a useful learning tool; they document both successes and failures.

The data sheet on the following page may be copied and used to record scanner settings. Details on the film, exposure, and any special filters or processing used can be noted.
