Framed Artwork Digitisation
Framed artwork may require imaging without removing the work from its frame, particularly where the frame or glazing is delicate or significant.
Camera capture can provide a non-contact route for suitable framed works. Reflections, glazing, frame depth and lighting need to be considered during capture.
Framed artwork digitisation
The capture method should be selected around the original object, its condition and the purpose of the digital master. Suitable material may be captured with a WideTEK 36 ART, reprographic camera system or flatbed solution, while delicate, oversized or surface-sensitive work may require a non-contact approach.
