Thursday was awesome. We worked during the day on making sure that every aspect of my program as well as Photoshop worked perfectly. In the afternoon, we also worked to fix bugs in a program we are using to view x-ray images. Later on, we headed over to the Eastman House to present my program to the man who had asked for it.
It was neat finally getting to see the use for my program. Everything ran smoothly and he seemed very pleased with what we had done. At one point, we were able to put three images on top of each other for viewing. This was really cool. Also, I was introduced to the process behind creating a Dagguerreotype image and why he needed to know how to better preserve them. Silver compounds build up between the crystals on the surface of the image that eventually destroy the image. By viewing the images under different lighting, it is possible to see where new silver buildup is appearing before it takes over. I really enjoyed getting to see what goes on behind the scenes of an advanced place such as the Eastman House.
