Check Visualize Editor Software Measurements

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. Default Settings: Images: Application Default Setting Get Scale on File Load: Application Default Setting Limit Image Size: Application Default Setting Wizard Wink Camera: Editor Default Setting Camera Defaults: Editor Default Settings Camera Timeout: Editor Default Setting Camera Retries: Editor Default Setting Camera Init Timeout: Editor Default Setting
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.
Click the Take Picture button.
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.

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.
