Capture Picture

The Capture Picture function works with the Picture Capture frame in the Badge Information tab. On the Picture Capture frame, you can see Live Camera and Saved Picture. The Live Camera frame provides a preview of your image. Click Badge Capture Picture or the Capture Picture icon to take a picture with the camera. You can click on the button as many times as you want; only the last captured picture is saved. Each time you click on the button you can see the result in the Saved Picture frame. The Saved Picture is the picture that will be used to print  the badge.

IDpack supports devices that are compatible with WDM/DirectX and TWAIN:

The picture will be saved via the Picture filename using field in the pull-down menu in IDpack Designer Badge Setup Producer Setup. The file will be located in the directory where you opened the IDP file.

Note

If you click on the button at the right of the Capture Picture button in the Badge Information tab, it will open a new window allowing you to import a picture from a file you have saved elsewhere. Even with a picture taken using a digital camera, you will be able to open the image and then select only the portion of the image you want to use on the badge. For more information, please refer to the Import Picture.
