ID Merge

- automated application ideal for school, sport, graduation and mass market photographers. The software is used post-shoot to link data with images. The first step is to produce barcoded shoot cards from customer supplied data, and then simple scan the appropriate barcode before taking the photo. The barcoded information is safely stored directly in the camera's image file so that the pictures can be automatically linked to their full databased information later in ID Merge. Compatible with handheld barcode readers or the ultra mobile Scan & Merge barcode reader.
Step 1Prepare Data Cards
Use ID-Merge to prepare shooter cards with one barcoded unique customer reference
Step 2Photography - zap then snap!
When taking photographs first read the barcode, then take the photograph (see Scan & Merge)
