For libraries and large institutions, this is often already done and only needs minor additional modifications. We will work with individual collectors to get their collections into database usable forms. JJT Imaging uses the revolutionary MARC II camera to capture images. This camera was designed specifically for us and works in conjunction with our Imaging system software. Unlike a flatbed scanner, the camera is positioned away from the material to perform the scan.
Every scan is individual and takes into account focus, lighting, and color.
Our trained staff take great care in handling all materials during capture while preserving speed and efficiency. The image is modified through cropping and changes in tonal distribution in stages called ' Correction ' and ' Evaluation ' . Our aim is to approximate the original image's appearance as much as possible while retaining aesthetic quality and detail. Every image goes through a number of careful quality assurances before being processed into individual Archival, Reference, Service, and Thumbnail files. Individual images are cued up on a CD in the order that they are passed through the system.
