A: Yes. The software included in the package allows you to manually turn any image during the proofing stage. Of course, it is much easier and faster to photograph objects in the position that will be used for the final image. Please note that the system is designed to produce high-quality, realistic images. This can only be achieved when the light shines onto the objects from the top.

A: Yes. For catalog printing, you just need to add two manual jobs to your work flow:
1) The images have to be silhouetted
2) The output size has to be specified
Both these jobs can be performed by any standard image editor.

A: quickPX supports the TIFF, JPEG and BMP formats for both input and output. This means that the images can be used in any DTP, layout, image processing or word processing program.

A:
1) The camera must have a close-up adjustment range with an automatic focusing function (TTL) for distances of 10 cm or less over the entire focusing range.

2) The camera's internal JPEG compression function must be capable of being switched off, or at least set at such a low level that it does not negatively effect picture quality.

3) The camera must not have any measuring devices (e.g. auto-focus switch, exposure meter, etc.) above the lens aperture (see picture).

4) All of the camera's measurements (auto-focusing, exposure metering) must be taken through the lens (TTL).

5) The camera should support a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels. A higher resolution is no disadvantage, of course, but is not necessary.

6) The camera must have an LC display which enables the user to view objects before releasing the camera shutter.

7) The camera should be connectible to the AC power supply. (Digital cameras have extremely high power consumption.)
