I have used the Canon software, to capture images of all accepted prints in
an International Photographic Salon (www.vigex.org.au next salon closing
mid June) for inclusion in the catalogue and DVD presentation.
The advantage of this software was that we ensured the pictures were aligned
in the frame, and were able to crop using the program and save. This
eliminated hours of post-capture editing, valuable when we had over 800
prints to photograph over 1 1/2 days. We just dropped them straight into
the catalogue and automated the preparation of the DVD from the files.
When we were checking the options I found the Canon software was included
with the camera, while the Nikon software was an extra few hundred dollars.
Also with my Sony Alpha 700 I have used the program supplied with the camera
to copy my slides to digital. Use the focussing light in a Bowens
Illuminator and set White Balance accordingly, unfortunately this program
does not have a cropping facility, so have to re-open each pucture in CS3 to
crop, a time consuming exercise.

Subject: Re: camera RC software
My old Canon G3 came with a bit of software called Remote Capture. I
played with it ever so briefly but really didn't have a use for it. It
was fun being able to control the camera from my laptop but for what I do
it really didn't serve a purpose. I don't know if Canon still offers it
or if it's been updated for later cameras.

back to the RC software, has anyone taken advantage of tethered

that sounds so extremely useful i'd be tempted to invest in a camera

could be used in such a way
