Digital imagery comes in many different forms. Some of the types are
digital photography, scanning and the one you don’t do yourself stock
images. All three of these different digital resources can be
invaluable resources to your digital multimedia endeavors.
Digital photography is my personal favorite because this digital
content creation method allows you to gather subject matter from just
about anywhere. In order to make the best use of this media you will
have to get a digital camera that meets your needs. You can check out
websites like, http://www.dpreview.com/
,to get an idea of what features you might want. I find that if your
doing any kind of digital publication work then you should buy a
digital camera that has at least a 5 mega pixel CCD. The bigger the
number related to the CCD the better quality digital pictures that your
digital camera will be able to take. A few other things that you will
want to consider when purchasing a digital camera is the quality of the
cameras user interface, how long the battery lasts, whether the battery
is rechargeable or not, what type of media the camera uses and the
quality of the cameras lenses and flash.
I consider the Olympus to be one of the best cameras that I have ever
used because the Wide-angle len is really handy, the dual media slots
are great for carrying lots of media and most importantly this camera
takes great pictures. Also the battery life on this camera is the
longest digital camera battery life that I have ever encountered.
Another good digital camera brand is Nikon. These cameras have advanced
features and they take great pictures. The only thing that I find
annoying about Nikon cameras is the lack of accessories where as
Olympus provides an accessory for just about every possible use.
Scanners are a great way to get anything that is in a non-digital
format into a digital one. When considering a scanner you should first
decide what kind of capabilities you will need from the scanner.
Consider whether you will need slide scanning capabilities in addition
to flat media. Also the size of your media to be scanned is very
important. For the most part people need a scanner that can do a good
job of scanning things that are not any larger than a legal sized
(8.5"x14") piece of paper. If you meet this criteria then you will need
to find a scanner that has a maximum scan depth of 36dpi, or better yet
48dpi. Once you find a scanner that meets the dpi requirement then you
may want to take a look at the scanner's maximum scan resolution, at
least 2400dpi optical, and whether that scan resolution is actual or
driver initiated. The only other thing that seems important to most
people, in regards to scanners, is what interface the scanner uses. If
you want a fast scan interface then you want either a firewire
connection or a USB 2.0 connection interface.
Stock images usually come in two different forms that are either
photographs or digital designs. This type of media is designed by
professionals to meet your generic needs and sold to you either piece
by piece or more commonly in package sets. When you buy a set of these
you are buying a license to utilize them in your own work. The word
generic is often the best way to describe these images but that doesn’t
mean that they can’t be useful in your own unique designs.
