INTRODUCTION
Copystands are used by professional photographers,
photo labs, schools and multimedia production facilities.
They are essential tools when creating presentations for
educational and commercial uses. Copystands come in
two varieties: standard and backlit. Standard models gen-
erally include a baseboard onto which you place originals
and a set of lights to illuminate the originals. Originals are
lit at a 45
o
angle and photographed directly from above. A
well-made copystand should offer full, even lighting
across the entire surface of the baseboard. It should also
be sturdy, offering vibration-free operation.
A backlit copystand includes a translucent surface that
is lit from below, instead of a baseboard . It is designed
for copy work that involves transparent material.
Within this category are slide copiers, which are ideal
for duplication work. Some of these stands are
very specialized and can be used to create dynamic
special effects.
In all cases, when using a copystand, be sure to balance
the film you are using with the light source used for illu-
mination. Many manufacturers offer a choice of light
sources to meet your particular needs.
