Re: 'One Picture of ALL-Labels on Pill Bottle'

Hi Hogs... I recently decided to TRY a protocol of Essential-Nutriants. MY specific protocol involves several pills and capsules in bottles. The Bottles are covered in Labels containing that specific 'Product's Ingrediants and specific information'. I want to take ONE-Picture of Each Bottle which will allow me or my friends to see and easily read ALL the information on ALL the associated Labels of Each of the Several Bottles. --- --- Is there a WAY to ACHIEVE taking those pictures.???

Have you tried positioning the bottle and positioning the camera?

Probably the labels cover more than 180 degrees around the bottle, so cannot be covered in one shot. Might be able to stitch two or more shots; might be easiest to soak labels in Oops! so they peel off for a flat shot.

You could try a camera with panorama mode (cell phone), and move the camera around the bottle until you complete the shot.

How about a video where you turn the labels. You could pause to read the ones you want.

The information from the bottle is often available from the internet

Hi 'jerryc41'... I'm SO sorry, I'm having difficulty visualizing your suggestion. Remember, the Labels cover 360° on the bottle (I should have been That specific).

Considering the bottles are round, you would need several photos and stitch them together.
The only way I have ever achieved to get the label from a bottle in one swipe first time, is to put my sunglasses on, then scan with the scanner lid open and roll the bottle on its side, keeping speed with the moving light.

Remove all the labels, flatten them, then photograph or scan them.

That's my WAG

Hi 'Morning Star'... Now THAT is a solution that I would NOT have thought of; Thanks.

Anyone who can write ought to be able to copy it. Or, maybe the label can be peeled off in one piece.
