With current tools like smartphones and photocopiers, digital images of paper or photographs can be captured in a snap.

This class will cover basic digital imaging concepts and considerations to keep in mind when digitizing for future access. Topics to be covered will include planning your digital project, imaging specifications, equipment, simple image correction and retouching methods, storage, optical character recognition, and metadata.
