Abstract: A system for digitally capturing a product image includes a digital camera, a computer interfaced with the digital camera and programmed to provide a graphical interface including indicators relating to the exposure setting of the camera, the resolution image size of the image to be captured and the product identification number. The camera is controlled through the operation of a pointing device, such as a mouse and "buttons" displayed on the interface including setting the camera in a remote control mode, capturing a product image, selecting an image resolution, saving an image and resetting the system for digital capture of the next product image. A sensing device such as a bar code scanner is provide for recording the product number and inputting the number into the computer. Captured product image data is saved to a database along with product dimensions. One or more processors are used to process the data to crop, resize and silhouette the product image.
