Forensic photography brings color back to ancient textiles

Although ancient fabrics can offer clues about prehistoric cultures, often their colors are faded, patterns dissolved, and fibers crumbling. Forensic photography can be used as an inexpensive and non-destructive tool to analyze these artifacts more efficiently, according to new Ohio State University research. Forensic photography helps researchers collect information from fragile artifacts before using expensive chemical tests, which cause damage during material sampling. The forensic method also helps researchers narrow areas to sample for colorants, ultimately reducing artifact damage and testing costs. Source: Physorg.com

Digital photography computer software

The built-in enhancement intelligence is designed with one goal-achieve the best prints the camera, printer, and paper are capable of producing. Noromis PhotoLab always preserves the original file. All enhancements are applied to the original file on the fly, so no data is lost during multiple, intermediate saves to JPG, which is an incrementally lossy compression format. Noromis PhotoLab also performs all scaling internally based on any chosen print size, so the precisely perfect number of pixels is sent to the printer to yield vibrant, crisp results on that specific printer. Print layouts are handled automatically based on the chosen print size, so no paper is wasted. Noromis PhotoLab - Digital photography software Anyone who has a PC with Windows XP or the new Windows Vista can, with simple on-screen prompts and minimal keystrokes, download photos from a digital camera or memory card, make these adjustments, and save or print the photos, create a slide show, or forward them to friends and family.
