Hi all,
this is some advice I've given in the past to artists but I think the same advice is relevant for anyone using a digital camera.
Through my own work I've found a lot of creatives particuarily in the painterly field, (cos photographers pretty much know this stuff, its their arena) record a small image or thumbprint of their work before selling original. The problem is that simply having an image of your work does not lend itself to other possible uses in the future. Ie. reproductions, enlargements, etc.
Sorry if this seems like I'm preaching to the converted and ignore this if you're all au fait with it, but for those who don't .......
For your own future use of your work, please if using a digital camera, use the highest digital setting ie.e fine or super fine to achieve the highest resolution and upload it at a high res as well. You never know what you may want to do in future with your archives and if the originals gone, its gone.
If its a 35mm camera you record your work with then please scan in at the highest resolution.
I know these things eat memory but you can back it up on discs.
With the whole advance of digital technology you want to give your image the best chance of having a longetivity of life,
which means by simply archiving at the highest res you never what know their future possibilities possess.
Hope this helps .
Kind regards
Brónagh. X
