Subject: Scanning 3-D views

Does anyone know the impact the bright light from a flatbed scanner will have
on the images to be scanned? I have enough concern about exposing views that
are 80 to 120 years old to the light during the brief time I enjoy viewing
them. What damage might I be doing by exposing them to the intense light of a
scanner during that process? I am concerned that it might not be worth the
risk. Any input would be appreciated before I proceed.

BTW - Dr. T & Jon...Since I was the first to post regarding the TDC-16
projector and heat (months ago), I am doing a little experimenting with my
own "hot" projector and will send something as soon as I have some answers or
am completely befuddled. My early observations suggest that the RBT mounts
are not the problem...it is more likely to be a problem with the projector,
at least in my case. BraDDD

Brad, As I said before....white reflects...black absorbs...I think you'll
find the solution here.

....as far as the scanner light goes, thats great question to ask one of our
local club members who is an art conservationist...for fine paintings and
photographs....and she is wrestling with the problem right now of restoring
old 3-D realist format images to RBT's before scanning for a CD ROM.     I'll
ask her about the effect of that scanner light,  and get back to you....Jon
