Prior to Photography Day:

Photography Day:
Distribute your barcodes on photography day to the subjects that you are photographing. As they approach the camera, they will hand you their barcode. Use the Barcode reader attached to the FujiFilm Pro S5 camera to read the barcode and then photograph your subject. You may also enter packages in at the shoot by reading the subjects barcode and then a barcode created for the package. The data from the barcodes will be written directly into the meta-data of your images and saved to the Compact Flash card in the camera.
After Photography:
Download the images from the compact flash card to your computer. To match your images back to the barcode data use ImageMatch™ by PhotoLynx®, Inc. to select your directories of images. ImageMatch™ will match the meta-data from the images to the images automatically.

I’ve done some fairly rigorous tests with B&W film (Delta 100), and I am amazed at how well my film scanner (Canonscan FS4000 US) handles an extreme negative density range, as you long as you configure the scanner software (I use VueScan) correctly. An alternative to working through the scanner software is to work on the raw file directly in Photoshop. Whatever you do, make sure your black point is 0.00 and your white point is 0.01 or less.
