UK Buyers- In the holiday season shipping companies tend to get overloaded with deliveries. In order to receive your Christmas gift in time we strongly recommend you to order by 13/12.
The Win-Studio Winshelf photography studio is a compact table sized device that produces high quality, light weight catalogue images for the internet (or print) in a matter of seconds. Forget about flash units, expensive macro lenses and hours of colour correction in Photoshop– with the Win-Studio you can finish the photographic process all in one shot.
The Win-Studio has all the needed elements for photographing small
items such as jewellery and watches, and outputting these images to the internet.
These elements include a built in camera, lighting, an engine system and software.
The LED lighting set up consists of approximately 300 LED lights and is built
to last forever. The multiple long-lasting LEDs maintain a proper illumination
setting.
The chosen object is totally isolated from outside lighting allowing
you to use this device in any given environment. It is particularly useful in
ordinary office environments where there is not a lot of space dedicated to
photography or optimal conditions for a photographic studio area. Simply connecting
the device to any computer via USB or network port and performing the Win-Studio
software installation will allow you to work with this device.
After putting an object into the unit you can set up the lighting
characteristics and camera positioning desired for this item and save these
definitions. By saving the set up you can reuse it when photographing similar
objects. You can save an infinite amount of definitions / set ups, ultimately
saving yourself much time and effort.
Operating the Win-Studio can be easy learnt in a matter of minutes
– the software and device communicate naturally and the interface is user friendly.
Its unique photographing system ensures fast pictures of small items at even
the closest range with the ultimate depth of field. In your photos you can achieve
a result where the entire image is sharp and clear no matter how close-up you
get. This result is enabled as the Win-Studio takes over 100 images of your
item with different depths in focus, and then stitches them together to create
one, perfectly sharp and in focus image.
This studio removes the need for photo post production and editing.
It includes built in tools for image adjustment. In addition picture adjustment
is done while photographing and allows true comparison of the item's colours
to the pictures colours. Using advanced sophisticated algorithms, Win-Studio
allows you to set up a professional photo shoot, adjust illumination and lighting
settings, and perform post-processing of images quickly and accurately. Additionally
you can add logo / text and even crop and rotate you image.
The time saving is significant – no preparation of a room for
photography and no need to wait while images download from the camera to the
computer. The files produced by this device are small, saving disk space and
shortening procedures of processing and file sending. The light file size is
adapted especially for the internet. It is also possible to photograph pictures
or animations showing 360 degrees of a product.
Win-Studio can be connected to Skype with a single click, allowing
you to introduce the item in a video conversation over the internet for the
purpose of sale or explanation.
In a nutshell, this incredible integrated desktop photo studio
invention is all you need to produce sharp, highly-detailed images for use on
the internet. You don’t need a huge studio space and an endless supply of fancy
equipment to produce that ultra-professional finish in your photos, here we
are offering you a studio in a compact box, and the results will undoubtedly
blow you away…
How does Win-Studio Work?
1. Simply place the object you want to photograph on a stand on
the rotating stage within the photo unit. There are a variety of ways you can
position your object using the white flat plastic sheet (E.g. either at an angle
/ slant for a necklace, or straight up as a background for a standing watch)
2. The unit shields the object from external light - after you have placed the
item in the unit close the unit's cover and activate the Win-Studio software
to adjust the camera's focus and illumination settings. The "+" and "-" buttons
help you to calibrate the lights and colours.
3. Once you're satisfied with the image's positioning, lighting angle and overall
colour tone press "OK" and you're done! You can save your image and move to
the next angle or object… It's as easy as that!!!
Note there are many more factors to play with – depth of field,
photo mode, image size and GIF animations…
Rotating
camera - changes the angle of your photograph
The time it takes to capture a picture depends largely on your
computer or CPU type. We recommend a minimum CPU power of E8400 (Intel) and
1 GB memory.
Some Sample Images:
Features:
• Creates Internet-ready images quickly and easily.
• Connects to your office network.
• Lets you control positioning, lighting and focus settings via your computer
using the special Winshelf software.
• Multiple long-lasting LED illumination.
• Built-in color correction software.
• Creates animated images on-the-fly.
• The Win-Studio camera view opens in Skype so you can view an item inside the
unit in video format (useful for describing items to suppliers or customers)
• The image quality on the other side of the Skype call will depend on the receiver's
screen quality. There is a control window that displays the transmitted image
in real time.
• Animated GIF images can be generated by the Win-Studio and can be uploaded
to EBay, just like regular JPG images.
• The time taken to create an animated GIF depends on the number of images in
the sequence being captured. Multiply the number of images by the time taken
to capture one image in order to define the time taken to create the animation.
• The light colour is pure white
• The white balance on the Win-Studio works more like a 'grey-balance'. You
can adjust it by pointing the mouse on the background and the image colour changes
so that the background becomes grey. Similarly you can play with saturation
in a more detailed fashion - when you point with the mouse and right mouse click
on a colour, the colour and the nearest colours will become grey.
Benefits:
• You don't have to be a professional photographer to take professional looking
images.
• Saves time and money.
• Set up photo shoot in a matter of seconds.
• The unit's small, compact size requires very little space.
• No need to transfer images from camera to computer.
• No need to perform time-consuming post-processing of image to achieve desired
results. For example colour adjustments and cleaning up white backgrounds in
Adobe Photoshop.
• Produces top-quality images with minimal effort.
• The unit can produce animated GIFs of up to 10 images long and with interval
frames of up to 0.1 of a second! With a tiny interval and maximal images the
continual image after image effect creates the illusion of a movie.
• The lighting system in the Win-Studio is built in LED technology that practically
ensures you will never need to replace the lamps.
• All software updates are FREE from the manufacturer's website!
• NO monthly / yearly fees or charges!
• The Win-Studio does not require any special servicing or regular treatment
– it is stand alone office equipment.
• You can use the Win-Studio anywhere in your office – you do not require any
special lighting conditions for its operation (all of that is taken care of
inside the unit when you close the lid). However, we do not recommend using
it under direct sunlight. The object you are photographing it totally isolated
form external lighting conditions when you close the lid of the device.
• When using Skype with the Win-Studio camera you can easily switch between
your web-cam (image of you) and the live video of the item in the unit.
• Win-Studio can be connected to a local network.
• Win-Studio can be connected to a USB port.
• Any image taken by the Win-Studio can be edited using other software if you
desire.
• Text, logos and watermarks can be added to an image using the Win-Studio.
