Imaging: Fine arts

Abstract: Imaging in the fine arts shares many problems and characteristics with imaging in other domains. But almost by definition the fine arts are especially concerned with the preservation and quality of images. In this article we focus on those issues that take on a particular character in the fine arts—issues that are likely to be less crucial in other domains, such as medicine or document scanning. We look at general image quality issues including image capture, resolution, and display, and then turn our attention to the uses of imaging technology for conservation and preservation purposes. Next, we examine the implications of the distribution of digital fine arts images outside their normal environment—libraries, museums, and educational institutions. Finally, we briefly summarize published resources for imaging in the fine arts. © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
