Any camera will do, but try to use one with a flash. Or you may want to use a video camera to record inventory. Slides or prints are OK. Color shows detail a little better. Make sure pictures, slides and videotapes are dated. If appropriate, record the date of purchase, brand name and purchase price of ea...

I have read that it can be very important to have a date stamp on the photos we take. My particular camera and many others do not have that option. I stumbled across a website that has a program that puts the date stamp on the photos after I have downloaded them to my computer. I downloaded and used the...

The only thing standing between me and actually doing an inventory for a client is my camera. I bought a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS a looooong time ago and it is my first camera that actually has settings. It has become a love/hate relationship because I cannot get consistently good photos. Either the...

Another must have for the home inventory professional is at least one good light tent. This is a small enclosure used to take photos of small (and usually very reflective) items. This can add a degree of professionalism to your work that helps to make you stand out in the client's eye. Just do a searc...

I must be missing something. My pictures look stretched out horizontally when I import them into the software. What am I doing wrong or not doing? Gwenda

I was wondering what resolution are you guys taking your inventory pictures at. I think that taking 7 megapixel shots is overkill for what we are doing. I think that 2-3 megapixels is plenty. What do you all think? -- Edited by DarinG at 01:58, 2007-06-01
