• Make adjustments to the scanning workstation to accommodate various sizes of artwork originals

• Adjust light sources for a balanced exposure

• Create a digital workflow utilizing Sony’s Remote and Capture applications

• Adjust shutter speed and aperture to create a balanced histogram

• Manage .ARQ files (including sizing files, rectilinear adjustments, and exporting final files)
