This often depends on the conservation status of the original archive. <\/p>\n<h3>Steps for digitising photographic archives<\/h3>\n<p>The workflow followed by the Artyplan Document team includes several actions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjust the position of the original on the table and the height of the camera.<\/li>\n<li>Adjust the lens focus.<\/li>\n<li>Carry out an exposure test and adjust according to lighting conditions (white levels below 255).<\/li>\n<li>Ensure that exposure remains consistent throughout the session.<\/li>\n<li>Regularly check and adjust monitor colour calibration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Mobile unit for photograph digitisation<\/h2>\n<p>If photographs cannot be removed from the archive due to conservation requirements (such as controlled temperature conditions), the Artyplan Document team travels to the location where the originals are stored to carry out the work. This approach allows us to preserve the condition of the originals while ensuring direct supervision by your business if required. <\/p>\n<h2>Artyplan Document, your trusted partner for digitising photographic archives<\/h2>\n<p>As outlined, before starting any digitisation process, it is essential to analyse each case and define the most suitable method. This involves establishing workflows and processes tailored to each project. <\/p>\n<p>Our Artyplan Document team consists of specialists who fully understand the procedures required to manage photographic collections properly, always considering preservation and conservation needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Digitising photographic archives involves complex processes across different areas.
