Digital Resources

Scaning Room

The digital room is available all year, 7 days a week, (except Xmas day, Boxing Day, New Year's and Good Friday). Bookings are divided into 2 hour slots from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Equipment provided includes, 2 scanners: the Nikon LS 4000 35mm slide/negative scanner (4000 dpi resolution) and the Epson 3200 flatbed scanner with transparency unit that can scan both prints and large-format slides and negatives at 3200 dpi resolution.

New this year is the Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED.

This new super scaner was purchased with the intention of letting Digital Resourse members take it home.
To make it fair for all group members the scaner will only be loaned out for periods of One Week at any one time.

New members of this group must attend (regardless of their level of experience) a briefing session to explain the particularities of the equipment and various accepted procedures of operation. This session is available on request.
The computer in the Digital Room is loaded with CS3 and in addition has on it:
  • Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 (special effect filters)
  • Nik Dfine 2.0 (noise reduction software)
  • Nik Sharpener Pro 2.0 (software for sharpening photos)
To buy and maintain the equipment as well as the instructional material listed below an additional fee is charged for this group.
See the Fees Page for details

T
he Digital Group also has additional resources that are available without charge to those RAPC members who have paid the digital resources fee. These are generally lent out for a one or two week period. Except for the Photoshop User magazines noted below, you may get access to these resources by sending an e-mail to digital@raphotoclub.ca or by speaking to one of the Digital leaders at the weekly meeting.
