Haven't ever used it but I wrote down a note that it seemed worth investigating further. Please let us know how it goes!
No harm sharing anyway! (Perhaps they can be buried away in comments you didn't see... I had to go digging around the CT search engine to find...
A fascinating question, glad you asked! I call myself a newbie still, but I do have an answer (two actually!): Two great volumes have tried to...

Just FYI you can generally just take a photo with your camera phone in that situation (that's what I do). Had to do all of what you describe when...
