Hi Everybody,

I am pleased to announce that a Special Digital Imaging Issue of
"Spectra," the Museum Computer Network's (MCN) publication, will be
shipping on November 22nd.  Let leaders in the field give you an
update on state of the art digital imaging in a museum or archival
setting!

As the guest editor of this issue, I'd especially like to point your
attention to an article by photographer Ben Blackwell investigating
the light exposure of sensitive objects during direct digital
capture, and a piece by renowned photoshop expert Bruce Fraser
discussing color management in archival image files. However, I think
you'll find all of the contributions rewarding and well worth your
attention.

The complete list of articles:

Jill Marie Koelling - Digital Imaging: The New Photographic Research Tool
Carol Hernandez & Robin Lilien - Building a Digital Archive
Dr. S.K. Hastings - What are Digital Image Managers?
Ben Blackwell - Light Exposure to Sensitive Artworks During Digital Photography
Dr Norbert Lossau & Martin Liebetruth - Conservation Issues in Digital Imaging
Guenter Waibel - A Holistic Approach to Digital Assets Management
Eileen C. Mathias - The Albert M. Greenfield Digital Imaging Center
Andrew S. Long - Practical Approach to Color Management
