By using the BarTender image capture control, you can add an image to your printed items at print time from a scanner, camera, or other video device. This is particularly useful when you need to add images to ID cards, labels, or other items at print time. When the image capture control is used together with a video device or webcam that is connected to your computer, the control on the data entry form provides a live preview. After an image is retrieved from a camera or scanner or captured by using a video device, you can modify the image before you print your items.

• Creating an Image Capture Control

  You can add an image capture control to your form in either the Template Design view or the Data Entry Form view. As with other types of controls, various property pages are available to help you customize the image capture control.

• Capturing an Image at Print Time

  At print time, BarTender enables video capture from a video device, scanner, or digital camera and provides a dialog that you can use to make adjustments to the image before you print.

• Adjust Image Dialog

  The Adjust Image dialog is available on the data entry form at print time, after the image is captured. Use it to modify image qualities such as brightness, contrast, and saturation, and to open the image on your computer's default image editing program for advanced editing.
