Rick,

Gimp is the GNU image modification program. The reason why this is interesting is that the automatic  light sensing in cameras give a setting for average grey, this means that with indoor available light photography, you get an average grey image. Adjusting the levels allows you to compensate for the averaging out and to high_light what you want.

Rick,

my 2 € cents, I use a full size tripod, I have an old Samsung digital camera with a macro setting on it. No flash, available light, but most important, I use Gimp to adjust the "levels", adjusting the white level and the the grey until the image is most readable. I find that the camera "follows" me easily round the workshop on the tripod all the time during a work session. I haven't contributed to my CNC zone write up in a while, but this was how I did most of my photos.

Regards, Matthew
