Course Web Site Development: Additional Website Components: Digital Imaging: Graphical Scanning

Graphical Scanning is the act of taking a tangible image (from a photograph, magazine, drawing, etc) and translating it into a format that is readable by a computer. The usual way this is accomplished is through using a piece of hardware called a scanner. A sample image obtained through the use of a scanner can be seen to the right [click to enlarge].
