Using Digital Camera As Scanner

noreply@blogger.com (Ethan Liew Yee Ling) — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 08:13:00 +0000

I wonder whether there are no software or method to replace bulky scanner with digital camera.

Now days, everyone having a digital camera, probably every phone have digital cam features, so how we can use it to make the world paperless or help to protect our world ?

I just subscribe 350.org and try to help as I can to save our earth for next generations.

Here my issue while using digital camera:
Pro:
1. fast and easy to snap one
2. macro mode allow me to snap a very clear documents
3. lower resolution, easy to attached to email

Cons:
1. lighting issue ( always need to photoshop leveling the image )
2. paper document always moving / flipping / shaking due to wind or ceiling fan
3. need to bluetooth or unload those photos to my pc
4. macro mode might not available for phones camera or some of the old version of digital cam
5. cam lens have to always flat aligned with paper
6. after scanned, the images always larger if you print out
( always need to photoshop adjust to the actual size )

Finally, I found this software
Snapter

for iPhone guy you may like this

I am still learning how to operate those software.

Really wish it able to ease my job to resize those digital photos.

You may download and have a try. Hope it helps to save your penny for a scanner to scan simple documents.

Disable Search Engine to Index Your facebook Information

noreply@blogger.com (Ethan Liew Yee Ling) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 06:20:00 +0000

If you don't know, as of today, Facebook will automatically index all your info on Google, which allows everyone to view it.

To change this option, go to Settings --> Privacy Settings --> Search --> then UN-CLICK the box that says 'Allow indexing'.

Facebook kept this one quiet =)

Information might be good to be indexed as marketing or distribution purposes.
For personal photos, you probably don't like your face been view or searched by search engine =)
