      How do I take a picture?

      Instructions on how to take a picture on the 2D light panels.

      Tool Placement:

      • Items must not overlap the frame of the light panel
        • all items must be at least 1 inch away from the edge of the light panel

      • Items must not overlap other items
        • Items taller than 1 inch must be in the center of the light panel

      • All tools in a board do not need to be in one photo. They can be separated into multiple photos if there is not enough room on the light panel for all of them.
      • Items taller than 1 inch must be in the center of the light panel
      • Putty or tape can be used to hold tools in place and edited out of the photo later

      Camera Placement

      A. The camera should be approximately 5 feet above the light panel.

      B. The camera should be level with the center of the light panel

        • All four corners of the light panel should appear as 90 degree angles

      C. All four corners of the light panel must be visible

        • the light panel must fill 85-95% of the camera screen.

      Mobile App Users: directions may differ when capturing photos using a phone, but instructions will be given within the app.

      Taking Photos

      • Take more than one picture in case any issues occur.
      • Take candid's of the tools in their desired board layout
      • Take a side angle candid photo for help information. This will help the designers with depth dimensions.

      Quality Check

      • Option 1:
        • Upload the image to Blue Shadow and check the levels as seen below.
