  • Camera reference device and method of taking a photographic image using a camera reference device
    Patent number: 7376345
    Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus and method to permit a photographer to take accurate portraiture pictures. There is provided a camera reference device for adjusting the settings on a camera comprising a reference member with qualitative indicia for determining picture sharpness and colour for adjusting the settings on the camera and which allows for the taking of a picture of the face and head of the subject within the same photographic image beside the reference member. Using the device, there is provided a method of taking a photographic image comprising: taking a picture of the subject in combination with an apparatus comprising a reference member with qualitative indicia for determining photographic image qualities for adjusting the settings on the camera and which allows for the taking of a picture of the face and head of the subject within the same photographic image beside the reference member.

  • Camera reference device and method of making camera reference device
    Patent number: 6987533
    Abstract: A reference device for setting color biasing mechanisms on a camera and achieving a consistent color biasing in different environmental situations, and a method of making the same. The reference device comprises a reflective media having a surface that has had its spectral characteristics analyzed and its surface treated with colored droplets, wherein each of the droplets is less than 5 picoliters in volume, to achieve a degree of desired white neutrality or color bias of different spectral quality than that which was analyzed as aforesaid.
