To digitise means to convert analogue information-such as photographs, video, or sound-into a digital format that can be stored, processed, and transmitted by computers and digital devices.
In photography, digitising typically involves scanning film or prints to create digital image files, while in video and audio, it involves converting signals into a series of digital data points. Digitisation allows for easy editing, sharing, archiving, and integration with digital workflows, making it an essential process in modern photography, multimedia, and creative industries.
