I started the day by learning how to scan the photos that I will be using for my project. CSU uses Adobe Photoshop CS to scan and edit the photos. The photos are stored in two formats; TIFF and JPEG. The TIFF format is scanned at 600dpi in 8bit grayscale and used for archival purposes. The photos are then recorded onto magnetic tape and stored off site. The JEPG is used for uploading onto Cleveland Memory Project. It is still in 8bit grayscale but instead of 600dpi the resolution is at 72dpi. After learning how to scan and use the program the rest of my day was spent scanning photos. I was able to scan forty-five before the end of the day.
