Image Capture

Capturing images is as easy and involves simply using you camera in its normal way.  Any digital camera will work.  We suggest using the macro function when applicable.  Images are taken without regard to distance. A simple calibration will compensate for distance.  There are no restrictions.  We prefer that you be as close as possible leaving some boarder on all 4 sides on the image.

Please take your image 90 degrees to the subject matter as shown:

Calibration Using Ruler

To Calibrate a ruler of usually 3 cm is captured within the picture.  A simple dragging and dropping a line to the ruler will provide the software with the information it needs to provide accurate measurements.  Note below the PINK LINE on the RULER.

Once Calibrated- "YOUR READY TO MEASURE"
