Opening Digital Camera Images
Readiris automatically detects when images have been made by a digital camera and uses special
recognition algorithms to process them.
To open digital camera images:
 Click File on the top toolbar.
 Select your digital camera images and click Open.
 In the page thumbnail, you see a little camera icon, which indicates Readiris recognizes the image
as digital camera image.
If Readiris does not detect your image is a digital camera image:
 Ctrl-click the page thumbnail.
 Select Digital Camera Image.
Note: when photographing documents with a digital camera, it may happen that the documents are shot
from an angle, which gives them a 3D effect and renders the recognition impossible. To solve this issue,
see Optimizing the Scanned Documents > Deskewing digital camera images.
Tips for making digital camera images
 Always select the highest image resolution.
 Enable the macro mode of the camera to take close-ups.
 Enable the document mode of the camera (if any).
 Only use optical zoom, not digital zoom.
 Hold the camera directly above the document. Avoid photographing documents at an angle.
 Produce stable images.
 Disable the flash when photographing glossy paper.
 Avoid opening compressed camera images.
