title: Digital dental photography. Part 9: post-image capture processing.
abstract: Having successfully taken a digital image, the next step is deciding what to do with it. Should it be cropped, correctly orientated, manipulated, compressed, scaled, sharpened, archived (and if so, which file format is the most suitable), or even discarded? The premise of this part of our series is to answer these and other questions related to post-production of a digital image.
