Nowadays, analog photography is on the rise again, which means that more and more photographers are starting to discover everything it brings. Every single photo captured on a photographic film can be converted into a digital form, which allows a lot of new possibilities, for example, editing. The thesis will describe scanning film negatives in different ways with various devices and analyze scanned photos.
The theoretical part represents photography basics including its history. The main part will focus on analog photography and basic scanning knowledge that is required for understanding the digitization of film negatives. Process of scanning film negatives covers various types of devices from amateur to professional, their use, advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, the next part will focus on technical characteristics of all the devices, used for digitization. Different types of devices emphasize differences of photographs, scanned by different devices. On the basis of all the differences and findings, the results of the photographs were analyzed, which were scanned by various techniques offered by these devices. We have also found a solution which allows photographers to convert the film negative to digital form.
Conversion from an analog form of photographs to digital is very important since the results differ greatly from one another. Depending on the needs of the use it is, therefore, necessary to choose the optimal scanning technique that will be suitable for the subsequent use of digital photographs.
