Audience members just beginning to delve into rapid capture will get an introductory look at the current state of affairs. More experienced staff members will get a look at some cutting edge processes & equipment.

The workshop will begin with SI staff (Keri Thomspon, SIL; Karen Weiss, AAA; Hugh Talman, NMAH) presenting their unique experiences with rapid capture at SI. They will touch on the types of rapid capture they do (film/print scanning, 2D fine art capture, document scanning) and/or the processes surrounding their workflows.

After lunch industry pros Don Williams (Founder, Image Science Associates), Peter Siegel (Director, Digital Transitions) and Peter Krogh (Photographer and author of "The DAMS Book") will present cutting edge processes and solutions for image rapid capture.
