The Digital Advantage Recent improvements in technology allow anyone who studies core or other rock samples to take full advantage of the benefits associated with digital photography. These include rapid and easy data retrieval and use, convenient file storage, and cost savings through improved productivity.
Digital photography allows instant review of pictures just taken.
What you see is what you get and the wait associated with regular photography is just not there. This helps you get the image you want when you want it. Image storage is simple, and once stored, the images can be electronically retrieved or transmitted for immediate use. Digital photography gets critical images into the hands of the professional geologists, engineers, and managers who make decisions that mean the difference between a profit and a loss. Imagination is the only limit to the ways these digital images can be used.
