Camera Captures Camera Captures is a special function of Caricature Studio 5.0 designed for live event photo vending. It is a function that works with remote capture software and digital SLR cameras. While not a required component, for workflow purposes it is highly recommended to use live capture software in conjunction with your digital camera. This allows you to preview images on your computer display and save directly to your hard drive, as opposed to saving to camera memory. It also allows you to snap photos remotely by using a remote control device.
This is the setup most often used by event photographers. The type of software you’ll need depends on the camera make and model. There is no universal application that works with all cameras, since the functionality must be programmed to match the features of the particular camera.
Where to obtain:

If your Programs folder is on another drive letter, substitute C: with the appropriate drive letter. When taking photos, they will be saved automatically to this directory. You can then open them within Caricature Studio under the Aquire > From Camera menu. Images are shown in thumbnail view to make them easier to find.
