PC controlled PhotoStudios
Now there is a cheaper way to achieve better quality website photography. Using the PhotoStudio you can produce shadow free images in seconds.
Whichever PhotoStudio you choose, you put the item in the box, then use your PC to control the camera. Instead of pressing buttons on the camera you use the software to frame the image and snap. The image appears on your PC automatically without the need to transfer images as a separate process. The superior photo quality you will achieve is a product of the powerful combination of controlled lighting, software and camera working together.
How the PhotoStudio works
The controlled lighting environment inside the box yields accurately lit images that are perfect for website photography, product catalogues, presentations or internal approval systems.
To photograph an image you put it inside the box. The live preview feature allows you to see your shot on the PC. Using the zoom in, zoom out and crop buttons in the software you construct the shot you want to take. There is no need to touch the camera as it is a slave of the PC and software. Simply press click and the camera will deliver the shot to your PC.
For a top shot the camera is mounted in the top of the box, whilst for a side shot the box door stays open and the camera sits outside the box on an adjustable arm or on a tripod.
Pictures are automatically sent from camera to PC via USB for viewing, editing, printing or annotation. Once you've taken a picture, you can e-mail it directly from the software or save it to disk as a JPEG or a TIFF.
The software allows you to draw or write on the image. This useful feature allows clear and colour accurate communication with suppliers, colleagues and customers.
For subjects that won't fit in the box you can still use our software with your own lighting - the camera remains connected to the PC via the box but can be directed at your product and lighting.
Creating 360º Animations
The addition of a turntable inside the PhotoStudio gives you the ability to create 360º, user controllable images for your website. The process of image capture is automated, capturing a series of shots that are then stitched together to create an animated presentation in HTML or Flash. You can also use the shots from the series as stills.
