2. That you have scanned in, captured, or otherwise created a digital image file (see Chapter 3);

the File
I had taken this photo of a farmer in Sweden
some years ago, and I had it scanned at a service
bureau with a Nikon Coolscan 8000ED

PSD format of Elements to create my working
file. I start thinking about what editing
needs to be done.

Figure 8.2 For this workflow, I’m
using a laptop computer running
Windows XP Home to print from
Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 to a
Canon i960 Photo Printer.
This is the full-frame scan of my
original 35mm slide of the Swedish
farmer.
