ONLINE GLOSSARY OF DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPY


Drum scan

From The Glossary of Digital Photography

Jump to: navigation, search

A scan or digital file produced by scanning a film or print image on a drum scanner. Drum scanners usually produce the highest-quality file because the photo multiplier tubes they use are more sensitive to light than the CCDs used by most desktop or flatbed scanners. They can scan at resolutions higher than film can record. See also drum scanner; scanner
