I hate listening to static and commercials on my car radio, so I got satellite radio and a multidisk CD player. Too bad it's not as easy to eliminate noise from digital images. Even with a DSLR, I get noise every time I make a long exposure or shoot at a high ISO. With most 8 -- 10MP compacts? Forget it!
For those of us who once shot film, noise is as bothersome as film grain -- at least visually. Both tend to be more disturbing in shadow and midtone areas than in highlights, and both increase dramatically at higher ISOs. Film grain is fixed by the nature of the emulsion and processing, but digital noise can be produced by a wide variety of camera variables.
For starters, all electronic components in the imaging chain generate background noise, even on the best DSLRs. That's why even at a camera's base ISO setting -- usually between ISO 64 and 200 -- you may notice some noise in shadow areas and skin tones. You can reduce background noise by keeping your camera cool (an incentive to stop checking every shot in the heat-producing LCD monitor).
Other types of noise are harder to eliminate. These are caused by image stabilization systems, chromatic aberrations in the lens, white balance errors, exposure, and even the ambient lighting in a scene. (Most cameras generate more noise in the blue channel when shooting under tungsten lights, which is why we only use daylight-balanced HMI lights in the Pop Photo Lab.) High noise levels can reduce color accuracy and contrast, obscure details, and degrade image quality.
At higher ISO settings, most digital cameras turn on a noise-reduction system that acts by blurring the noise. The side effect is decreased resolution and detail. Usually, RAW image files contain slightly less noise than comparable JPEGs, since compression artifacts also contribute to noise. Most RAW converters allow you to fine-tune noise reduction in a file before saving it as a TIFF or JPEG, and there are also a number of good programs for reducing noise in JPEG images (again, with some trade-offs).
Until recently, we rated noise at different ISO settings by analyzing a 100x100-pixel area on an FBI SIQT v.1.0 test target. We exposed the target to get a brightness value similar to a caucasion skin tone (in LAB space, a 71L; in RGB space, an average 175 brightness out of 256) and listed the average of RGB and Luminance Standard Deviation values generated using Adobe Photoshop's Histogram control panel. Our rankings for those numbers (from Very Low to Unacceptable) can be found at www.PopPhoto.com or "How to Read a Camera Test" in the December 2005 issue.
However, analyzing a single gray patch doesn't always tell the whole story about how a camera handles shadow and highlight areas. To confirm our lab findings, we also study real-world photos.
And, starting with last month's review of the Pentax K100D, we are now using DxO Analyzer 2.0 software to analyze the entire grayscale on a standard GretagMacbeth Color Checker Chart. Our rating will still be based on the standard deviation of the grayscale patch with an average RGB brightness of 175. However, we will also post graphs at http://www.popphoto.com/ of noise levels for all values in the grayscale, as well as expanded noise analysis.
We hope that our improved noise analysis and charts online will help you make a more educated decision about the image quality of your next camera purchase, especially if you plan to shoot often in low light. But I'm still waiting for the equivalent of noise-cancelling headphones for my camera.

A Transparent Solution
"When I scan clipart, say black line art as a TIFF or even a JPEG, how can I get it to place on top of a photo without a background? All my cliparts have a white background that covers up the photo!"
What you have is a transparency problem. The clipart is showing up white because the background is white. You have to make it transparent before you can drop it on top of another picture. Here's how:
Step 1. If you scan your image as line art, it may come into Photoshop as a bitmap (.bmp). If that happens, convert it to Grayscale by going to Image > Mode > Grayscale.
Step 2. Double-click the Background Layer to get the New Layer dialogue box. You want to change the name of the Background Layer so it's no longer locked, so just click OK to rename it Layer 0:
Step 3. Then go to Select > Color Range. Use the dropper to click on your clipart's white background, and adjust the Fuzziness slider to make sure your clipart is properly selected. Click OK:
Step 4. Go to Edit > Cut. Now you've got some clipart with gray-and-white checkers in the background (everywhere there's checkers, there's transparency). So now if you drag the art onto another photo, there will be no white background:
Hope that helps, and good luck

Photo Archiving
By Edith Reynolds AuctionBytes.com
here on http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y200/m09/abu0021/s03
The tradition of retail sales has been a sort of "now you see it, now you don't" endeavor-- once an item is sold, it's gone. Photo archiving changes all that. More and more collectors and ephemera sellers are opting for a long term approach, selling photographs in a way that allows the original pictures to be archived and selling reproduced images singly or in a collection that is easily downloaded by the customer.
One option is to sell reproductions of old photos where the copyright is no longer valid. (Sellers should state clearly if the photo is a reproduction.) Or, some dealers take a collection of similar photos and create a reference book like Stanley Burns' "Sleeping Beauty: Memorial Photography in America," a collection of Victorian era dags and tins with corpses as the subject. Almost any "like" images can fashion a collection--men in work clothes, women walking dogs, children playing, etc.
The biggest stumbling block to this kind of enterprise is copyright infringement. What does copyright mean?
To begin, copyright is defined as a legal protection (US law) for authors of original work and encompasses the protection of intellectual work from unauthorized copying, display, distribution, and false claims of ownership. It is important to note that a copyright protects "something" tangible and not simply an idea. For instance, you may copyright the photograph of an image that conveys a feeling but you may not copyright the feeling itself. The copyright symbol, a "c" is the identifying icon.
Photos maybe identified on the back as belonging to a photographer or contain a copyright symbol. If you see the name of a photographer but determine the photos are old enough that even a child prodigy artist would be dead, you're still not guaranteed the photos are free and clear. Copyrights may be transferred to heirs or publishers as long as the fees are paid. Sellers must be aware that lawyers and copyright holders will sue to protect their property.
Some sellers simplify things and license a copyrighted image in the first place in order to develop products. Companies like Getty Images Inc. (http://www.getty-images.com ) provide a gallery of images to license.
Sellers who display their images through an online auction ad or within a personal Web site usually add text or a watermark. This prevents unscrupulous buyers from simply downloading images without reimbursing sellers for the privilege.
So what do buyers do with purchased photographs? Some add an image to an object--pasting a scene onto, say, a wooden box before finishing it off in a decorative fashion. Others use vintage photo images on personalized stationary or invitations. (Imagine getting a dinner invitation with a romantic view of Venice for a special Italian supper or announcing your next party with images of the Eiffel Tower's construction.) Want a unique anniversary gift? Try decoupaging a wedding photo onto a handsome tray for the bride and groom.
Photo inventories can be a wonderful way to build a budding business one image at a time.

Archiving Photo Images
I would use TIFF rather than JPEG because JPEG is a lossy format. It throws away data whenever you open it, do something, and save it again.
Only if, after opening, you re-save it as a JPEG, which will indeed lead to progressive degradation. But you don't lose any more data if you resave a JPEG as a TIFF or other lossless format. This is what publishers would do.
In fact, in prepress terms, maximum quality JPEG compression results in images which are indistinguishable from uncompressed files. In a survey of print professionals who were shown the printed results of various hi-res Photoshop images printed from uncompressed files and from max quality JPEGs of the same image, none could tell the difference. So JPEG compression is an extremely good choice when trying to get the maximum number of files on a CD-ROM, e.g. a photo archive.

Add a Printed Watermark
Inserting a printed watermark will place text or pictures in the background of a document, behind the regular text, on every page. For example, students can place the word DRAFT on each page of a rough draft, the school name on each page of a story, a map of New England on each page of a report on the New England states... the possibilities are endless.
Keep in mind that a printed watermark will print on every page of a document, just as text in a header or footer does. If students are placing a picture in the background, they should be sure to put it where it won't interfere with the regular text. A nice effect can be achieved by making the picture pale (that is, a "washout"). A washed-out picture doesn't interfere with the text, even if it is in the middle of the page.

How to Watermark Your Photos
From Michael Carr,Your Guide to Digital Cameras.
Watermarking Photos for Your Protection
If you are sharing photos, especially if you will be posting them online or emailing them, you never know what will happen to them. Someone could take the photos for their own use, and you might never even know. Here is a simple step-by-step tutorial on protecting images by watermarking your photos.
While there are many ways to protect images, watermarking is probably the most effective. Several other methods, such as right-click disabling and adding a transparent gif image file on top, either have work-arounds the experienced photo-stealer knows or they are time-consuming.
Watermarking is more effective, and it's simple to use. In fact, there are programs that allow you to watermark a batch of several pictures at once. In fact, you may already have software that will create watermarks on your images right now.
Click through each step of this tutorial to discover how to protect your images from misuse and theft with watermarking.

Slide Scanners
Philip Greenspun wrote a great article about this subject.
For the vast majority of digital imaging purposes, having a Kodak PhotoCD made is the best convenience/quality/price choice. However, if you really want to buy a scanner yourself and don't want to spend $100,000 on a Kodak PIW, you do have some options.
Drum scanners, which use photomultiplier tubes, capture the most information from a slide, particularly in the shadow. Drum scanners also incorporate hardware unsharp masking. Drums scanners finally are usually parked next to skilled operators at service bureaus who, for $75 and up, will make you a scan that requires little tweaking in PhotoShop.
If you want to make super high-res FlashPix in the privacy of your own home, spend $25,000 on a Howtek HiResolve 8000, which was introduced in the fall 1998. The Howtek will give you the 8000 dpi resolution that you crave from 8 x 10 inch transparencies! Make sure that you also get a writable DVD drive handy to store the resultant 15 GB files!
If you need to do a few 35mm slides or negs at a time, can't wait 2-7 days for a PhotoCD scan, and don't have the budget for a 100 lb. drum scanner, you might find that settling for a desktop CCD scanner isn't so bad. HP makes a surprisingly good one for $500 (see review below). Nikon and Polaroid produce the traditionally popular desktop scanners. They cost around $2,000. Right now it looks like the clear winner in the cheap desktop market is the Nikon LS-2000 Super Coolspan. This plays two interesting tricks: multiple-pass scanning to reduce shadow noise; comparing the image from multiple angles to figure out where the dust and scratches are, then eliminating them automatically. The image quality from the latest and greatest Nikon is probably better than what you get from PhotoCD, but you have to deal with the host of calibration, indexing, and archiving issues that are raised in the image library chapter of my book.
Look at http://www.cix.co.uk/~tsphoto/tech/filmscan/menu for a well-done comparison of desktop scanners.
The most painless way to drive all of these (except the HP) is from a PowerMac running Adobe PhotoShop. The bits go direct from SCSI into PhotoShop and then you can do whatever you need to from there. If you decide to do this with Windows NT, make sure that you budget some time to think about color management and calibration.

Miscellaneous Examples
My friend Bob's bear pictures; typical of what you get from an old $2000 Polaroid scanner (probably comparable to HP PhotoSmart today)

Once you get those images in digital form, you'll probably want to either
print them out using a color printer and hang them on a wall; or
read this book on building Web sites and show them to your 50 million new friends

Storing Your Negatives
The negative of a print is more valuable than the actual print—it is affected by fewer damaging agents and reproduces and stores much more easily. A negative can provide countless prints just as perfect as the first one. And if you're like most people, you store your negatives in the paper envelope that they came in. Unfortunately, many of those paper envelopes are not acid-free, and the gummy adhesive on the flap may cause additional damage.
Protect your negatives in PVC-free plastic negative sleeves, which allow you easy visual access without having to touch each negative. Most sleeves have areas where you can record the basic "who" and "when" of the negatives. Store them in a 3-ring binder in an acid-free and lignin-free box that's kept separate from your photos. In fact, negatives should not be stored with photos at all, as any small amount of chemical residue on the photos will contaminate your negatives.
Are old, unprotected or dirty negatives a lost cause? Not necessarily! Check your local photography supply stores for negative cleaning supplies. After cleaning, be sure to store negatives in archival sleeves. If you have irreplaceable ancestral photos, have negatives made so they may be archived as well.

Photography Tips for eBay Sellers
The digital camera just may be an eBay seller's best friend. Because of the "virtual" nature of eBay shopping, potential buyers don't have the opportunity to look over your merchandise in person, and photos are the next best thing. Of course you can sell without photos, but your sales figures won't be anything near where they could be if you had included pictures.
Your photos should be close-up shots of the item in front of a plain background. Use proper lighting and take pictures from several angles so buyers get a good idea of what the item looks like and what condition it's in.
Here are some tips for taking good photos of your items.

There are a many kinds of markets for good photographs, but we are going to tell you how to take advance of a unique market that is largely unknown among photographers, the online auction market.
Is it really possible to sell original photos on eBay? We were skeptical at first too, but in our first month of trying, we sold over $2,000 worth of our photographic prints. Success is not guaranteed, but it certainly possible.
Getting StartedFirst, you will need to set up an account at eBay. That is simple to do, and should take only a few minutes. Have your credit card ready because they need a way to set up billing for using their services.
Chris Maher and Larry Berman tell you how to do it right.
