Making Science and Engineering Pictures: A Practical Guide to Presenting Your Work (2014)

In this segment, we explore two lighting options used with a flatbed scanner: reflected and transmitted light. How does a different lighting source affect the image?

We look at using creative backgrounds, a preliminary discussion of cropping an image, and other ways to direct viewers' attention. We begin a discussion of making digital enhancements in the science image.

This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates digitally replacing a background, changing the image size and dimensions, and basic labeling.

This video offers an overview of using a flatbed scanner to make images of 3-dimensional objects. We discuss the criteria of what works on a flatbed scanner, and the fine detail that can be captured using this surprising tool.

This tutorial goes into depth with our first case studies, as we observe how placement of a device on a flatbed scanner effects the final image.

In this tutorial, we look at one particular digital enhancement tool: sharpening an image.
