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?]

  2. 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]. 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
