Coupled with the PackshotCreator Standard Edition software, this creative photo studio produces images for presentations, digital databases, product catalogs, and e-commerce Web sites.
It is especially valued in the following industries: jewellery, cosmetics, food-processing, optics, as well as in the para-medical sector and precision industries.
Image creation at your fingertips
Once PackshotCreator Mini has been connected to your PC, the accompanying software allows you to preview the framing and rendering of your photos directly onscreen. Then all you need to do is click to shoot the image.
Showcasing smaller objects is almost too easy!. You can instantly obtain professional photographs without compromising quality thanks to this creative workstation's patented lighting system, powered by four symmetrical daylight lamps and ensuring uniform renderings without cast shadows, regardless of the number of photos you need.
