Through A Scanner...Oddly
I wanted to see what would happen to this image, which is partly solarized and therefore already half positive and half negative, if I scanned it four different ways:
1. Upper left. This is the original, as posted here before, scanned as a negative.
2. Upper right. Scanned as a positive transparency.
3. Bottom left. This is an opaque flatbed scan as a positive.
4. Bottom right. An opaque flatbed scan as a negative.
All of these scans had very little done to them, so this is how they look straight out of the scanner. It is a good reminder that any scan, even an unaltered one, is still changing the look of the original in some way. What settings are used and what type of scan is chosen have an impact on what the final image looks like.
When it comes to digitizing even the most purely analogue processes, a scan will always be an interpretation that inevitably adds its own filtration to the original.
