Procedure to Scan and Edit Images for the Web
4 July 1998
Using the Harvey photographs as an example, here's how it works:
On the removable drive, create a folder with the project name (i.e.
Harvey) and 4 subfolders: tif,psd,jpeg,gif
- Scan the image at full size, save as a .tif in the tif folder on the
SyJet drive
- Open a copy of the image in Photoshop, immediately save it as a .psd
[Photoshop native] format in the psd folder on the SyJet drive
- Edit the .psd file as needed for web display, saving the final
version as the .psd
- Export the finished product as .jpg or .gif format into the jpeg
or gif folder on the SyJet drive
- Transfer the completed jpeg or gif files to the appropriate directory
on the library web server
NOTE: Periodically, transfer your data files (tif, psd, jpeg and gif)
from the removable drive to a compact disk for long term storage.
This procedure will offer a couple of substantial advantages:
- reduces the encumbrance of filespace on the web server
- preserves the original scan at full size for future use
