Scanning

Scan the slides (physical scanning and batch processed manipulation to create derivative images)

[[Image: OxCLICbatchrename.png|right|thumb|200px|Batch renaming in PhotoShop.]]

• 1.,Scan the slides at 2,400 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dots_per_inch DPI] [Which scanner will they be using?] 1.,Follow good practice for image capture and optimisation (if necessary), guides available [http://www.tasi.ac.uk/advice/creating/img_capt.html here] and [http://www.tasi.ac.uk/advice/creating/slides.html here]. 1.,Once happy with the digital image (cropped, optimised etc.) save in a lossless high quality TIFF format that will be used as the master archival image.

  • 1.,Save all the images to one folder.

    1.,Use the appropriate file naming conventions (for example, arth_aa0001a).

#Repeat this process until a limited batch of TIFFs is reached (10 [?] slides is suggested). #Create four new folders at the same level as the Master Archival TIFF folder

#Using Adobe PhotoShop (or the desired batch resizing & renaming software) run four sucessive [http://www.corporatemedianews.com/2002/04_apr/tutorials/psbatch.htm batch processes], each time beginning with the archival TIFF, creating:

#*Ensure that all of the created digital images follow the established file naming conventions and are all saved in the correct folder. #Repeat this process as required.

Catalouing

Cataloguing the batch of digital images (metadata insertion using the Portfolio software)

[[Image: OxCLIC_asprop.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The 'Assign Properties' dialog box.]]

#Create a blank Portfolio catalogue template (or download the prepared template file from here), see details.

#Add the presentation JPEGs only into Portfolio, while also considering which metadata fields are likely to be identical across the entire collection (or selection of slides).

#Repeat this process as required (Note: At what stage of digitisation will the collection be imported into MDID?)

Importing the Catalogue and Images

Import the collection (or portion of the collection [?]) from Portfolio into the MDID image management software

#Export the catalogue from the Portfolio system, see details. #Open the exported text file and edit field names as required, see details. #Move the CSV (comma seperated variable) file to the MDID server, see details. #Import the collection catalogue information into MDID, see details. #Import the presentation JPEG digital images into MDID, see details.

Testing the MDID collection

• Test all fields from the catalogue are in MDID by checking the Search options for the collection
• Hide from the Search field any fields that you may not wish to be seen to the general browser via the Collection Setup preferences
