How To Take Perfect Iris Pictures 1. Be sure the client is comfortably seated and relaxed. 2. If a chinrest is not used, have the client open their own lids by putting the index finger touching the thumb up to the closed eye (using the arm on the same side of the eye being photographed), and then separating the index finger and thumb while holding them against the upper and lower lids respectively. Often this method is helped by having the elbow of this arm on a table.

5. If a chinrest is used, adjust the height so the center of the iris is about 1” (25mm) below the bottom of the forehead rest. When a chinrest is used, lid retraction can be accomplished using two 6” cotton swabs in one hand to separate lids. 6. Bring the camera (with focusing light switched on) into alignment with the center of the iris by panning in from the lateral side. For handheld photography, it is best for the photographer to have both elbows on the table and the left hand supp

10. Always take all the right eye pics first then all the left eye pics. If you take scleral pics, start with the iris of that eye, followed by the four quadrants of the sclera (normally Left, Right, Upper, Lower). 11. Adjust the camera position until the pupil of the iris is centered on the viewfinder. With this type of 1:1+ photography, focus is accomplished by moving the camera toward or away from the subject. 12. Adjust focus until the image is sharp around the collarette at the four

The Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard is good at putting your pics into a logical place with conventional filenames. You can specify the directory name and the first part of the file name (left part), and it will use consecutive numbers to make the f

11. Then open the image in a photo editor (such as Paint Shop Pro or Photo Shop) and crop it down to the smallest rectangle that encloses the iris. This is saved with the same filename but a "c" at the end, prior to ".jpg" (c=cropped). 12. Next, adjust the image if necessary in terms of brightness and contrast, and save this version, adding an "e" (enhanced) to the filename.
