[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24573892, member: 59677"]Depending on your skills with computers, you might find it worthwhile to script the actual taking of the pictures. I used DigiCamControl and that lets me create a simple PhotoTake command that starts the program, opens live view, waits for me to push enter, shoots the picture, downloads it to the computer, rotates it, scales it, etc., and sticks it in the correct output folder. Then it repeats everything for the reverse. It took a couple of days to code (and it's unique to my setup), but I don't have to start the imaging program, change the destination folder, and file name using several dialog boxes and dropdowns. Press click, lather, rinse, and repeat. If you want to different camera setups, you can shoot all of them with one setup, change the camera, and run back through shooting with the new setup, and the photos end up in the correct folders. I've also created an autocropping rig with a yellow and pink dot on the shooting platform and use another photo tool to find the topleft and bottomright coordinates.[/QUOTE]
