Film remains the medium of choice in architectural photography. Digital cameras are not yet fully equipped for the very wide lenses required for broad panoramas and for perspective control. Another constraint is the size of quality enlargements of images from digital cameras.

Once the film is developed, however, digital processing can enhance the image and is a necessary prerequisite for many commercial applications. Digital is also a robust storage medium. For these reasons, clients are provided digital copies of their preferred images on CDs.

For the creation of mural images on the order of 100-200 sq.ft., the benefits of high-resolution large-format films can be optimized through digital processing and printing. Images desired for enlargement to mural size can be digitally scanned and printed on mountable panels by Sign Concepts Inc.

This large-format image was required in a hurry but could not have been photographed with a digital camera because of its extreme wide view requiring lens shift. Instead the photograph was made with a view camera using Polaroid film; the image was then subjected to a high-density digital scan which effectively serves as the negative.
