----------------------------Original message----------------------------
I've done some brief quotes from replies to my query about outsourcing
digital image capture and will tell you first about my investigations, for
the Australian listeners ( and everyone who is interested !!!). I'm still
weighing all the scenarios.
                _________________________________________

My investigations with KODAK in Australia seem very expensive.

$19.95 per Photo CD ( 100 images per CD).
$1.80 per Scan, no discount for bulk images as they say it is near cost now.
(I don't have the money anyway!)
$7.50 per image for colour corrected scan.
________________________________________________________________________________
For the 1600 images I envisage at the  moment. ( 100 images per Photo CD).

Cost

$19.95 x 160 Photo CDs = $3192
1600 images X $1.80 = $1,880
_________________________________
Total Cost = $5,072
_________________________________

An extra $7.50 per image is charged for colour adjustment using Photoshop,
which is necessary even when KODAK scans the images for you.
_________________________________

Weigh this against in-house set up painted below. I think I will be saving
money if my staff can adjust with Photoshop in 3 - 5  minutes.

If I buy a Nikon SuperCoolScanner  - Cost  $3,159
Photoshop Upgrade - $450.00
Raid Controller (4MB ECC Sim)for Image Storage and Server - $$2887.00
(Live Picture for Zoom - $599 ???)
Watermark Software????
________________________________________________
Total Cost - $6,987 +
________________________________________________

The scanner scans 50 slides in 60 minutes.

The RAID will save the need for Photo CDs, as it is a mirror backup/server
in one. ( Cheaper to then store the images on optical magneto tapes than CD
ROMs if archival image storage needed), however I am assured that the RAID
does not fail in the backup stakes even if you are hit by lightening.

For the cost of one project (1,600 images) with KODAK, I am set up with
equipment to scan 16,000 images. If I need more room I buy more Simms for
the RAID. I have the images sitting there waiting to be pulled out pronto
from an image pool, not sitting on CD ROMs in storage.

If someone wants to take the image out they can still download onto a
magneto tape , or  access through LAN network, or still take out the old
trusty slide, after browsing the thumbnails/ full res scans on the LAN.


AMERICAN STORY
________________________________________________________________________________
Rachel deals with competetive vendors which reduces  cost to  capture onto
Photo CD and feels they do a better job than student/staff.

                ****************************************************

"It is my opinion that if you can get your Photo CD scans for a dollar or less,
you will save money because of the time involved in other types of manual
scanning." Photo CD still has to be adjusted with photoshop but student
help has narrowed margine to 3 minutes per slide. "in other words you can
quickly tell that the whole disk is a little too magenta, for example."

"I have been talking to the newdirector of RIT's photo management
department about being able to offer cheapscans to VRA members. He was
receptive, so we will see..."

I don't know if Atlanta-to-Australia is too far, but this outfit has a full
line of services and has provided good quality PhotoCDs for us:

"We have chosen to send slides out to  Boston Photo Imaging to have them
digitized on Photo CD.  The quality has been very good.  If there has been
a problem it has been with the quality of the original slide.

We have compared the cd version with one scanned on-campus using a slide
scanner.  The cd process compares favorably - and you have the image in 5
resolutions.  It is costly, but one does not need a staff person to run
the scanner.  We use a large volume discount as well.

I understand there is variability in the quality of the cd depending on
whom you send your slides to.  We are satisfied.  We are also pleased with
the speed. If I send 1000 slides out today I would have them back in 2 days.

Krist has done a number of small demonstration projects.


"The trick I have been told, is to find a lab with a good technician, one
who will understand not only the equipment, but who has a sense of the
images too."

"Also,you might want to contack Professor Michael Greenhalgh at ANU who has
done some work on Web based access to CDs where he captures the images "on
the fly".  This technology might reduce the labor required for the middle
step. "

Subj:   Summary-Photo CD's

Dear VRAers,

Last month I inquired the VRA listserver concerning the production of Photo
CD's.  I have compiled and posted this information for the list since many
of you indeed wanted this information as well.  As you will see in reviewing
the list the prices vary a great deal.  There could be considerable savings
here for those institutions that are paying outrageous prices for this type
of work.  I hope this information will be beneficial for your imaging projects.

Sincerely,

Suzanne Ogden-Roberts
