Check Software Measurements

  • Check the software measurements to make sure that images taken with the camera are displayed at the correct scale, so that art, mats and frame moulding will display proportionally correct.

  • Open the FrameShop software and click on Visualize.

  • Place a measuring tape on the design table. 

  • Click the Take Picture button on the Images tab.

  • If there is more than one device available, select the desired camera from the dropdown control on the Camera Capture Screen.

  • A photo of the measuring tape is displayed.

  • Click the Set New Scale button.

  • Draw a box Horizontally along the Ruler; take as long of a measurement as possible as this improves the software's measurements.

  • A screen opens requesting the Width Measurement.

  • Enter the specific width that was measured within this box.

  • Click OK. 

  • The Scale for the camera is now set.

Measure a Piece of Art

  • Measure a piece of Art taken with the Camera to make sure that the Scale is set correctly, so that Art and Moulding will display proportionally correct.

  • Click the Take Picture button.

  • Position a piece of Art under the camera and center it in the field of view.

  • Click Take Picture.

  • Click on the Art Regions Tab.

  • Click Add New Art Region button.

  • Draw a selection box around the Art.

  • The dimensions of the image displays on the Selected Region width and height boxes.             

  • The dimensions of the image should be correct, within approximately 1/8 inches. If the dimensions are correct and the image still appears “square,” then the camera is Calibrated at this specific Fixed Zoom Point.

Calibration Complete 

  • The Camera is now Calibrated and will remain calibrated as long as the camera is not physically moved.

  • If the Camera or Camera Mount is moved, the entire procedure must be repeated.

  • When saving a project to the database or to a file, the Scale Setting is saved with the project.

  • Thus, if using different zoom points and recalling a project from storage may require the Scale to be set again for the next new project started.

  • For Fixed Zoom, the software only remembers One Scale Value and that value will be changed when loading a prior project from storage.
