There apps where you can tell them what you're photographing, and they will expose and adjust accordingly.
For example, I use Microsoft's Office Lens, which is free with my hotmail accont/ subscription, on iPad and iPhone . You can tell it you're photographing a document and it exposes for white paper. It also puts a frame around what it thinks is the document, whoch you can adjust, and when you take the snap it adjusts the geometry to produce a flat image with the correct right angles. It doesn't produce museum-grade reproductions of course, but there may be something out there that does the same thing to the appropriate level of quality. But if your friend has a MS account he could at least try Office Lens. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbobZ43II38 B On 22 Nov 2018, at 01:30, ann sanfedele <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: One of my long time Scrabble buddies I play Word with friends with has been putting up a few of his pencil drawings to share on facebook.. He photoed witht he camera on his Droid - the problem with appreciating them is that he doesn't know how to shoot or edit for a thin lined pencil drawing on white paper... which displays, as you might have guessed, as and 18% gray card - or close to it. especially with the one he has used as his facebook thumbnail it suffers mightily from correct contrast and detail. He made one of them slightly better himself but what he said he did on the phone editor was "darken" it. hmmm, I know nothing from smart phones - ideas? I did say I'd put it my photosop editor and adjust but he didn't send me a file. thanks ann -- ann sanfedele photography https://annsan.smugmug.com https://www.cafepress.com/annsanstuff https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/annsan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
