So you've decided that there are a bunch of old slides or negatives you want to get scanned and put into some type of an archive system. If that's you then you'll need to decide how much time you really want to invest in the project. The industry standard that has been quoted to me is 15 minutes per image.
Yep, that's four images in an hour, times eight hours of work, and you'll have a grand total of 32 images archived for one days worth of work.
Can't be true you say. Think about it.
You need to find the negatives or slides, sort them, put them into a scanner and scan them at a high resolution. Then you'll need to retouch and color correct the image and save it in a format that you've set as your standard. Then you should write some type of a description and add in a few keywords before moving it into your Digital Asset Management System. And just to tidy up you'll need to refile those negatives or slide.
It's a lot of detail work and it takes time.
