I see no reason why not if you mix in the pictures during upload.
You could have the large magnification shot as IR.

Just one of the many different ways to convey images out there which are available.

Jeff I had some shots that i could not squeese in to one frame last week showing structure in an attic and this would be great for that application.
Later on I will throw them in here to give an example.

I'm missing something. We're all working hard to condense our reports and get smaller more professional reports VERSUS these huge bemouths of 45-60 pages that our clients tell us are so overwhelming they didn't know what was important or not. How will this make our reports smaller.

Report is small it's on a disk, I don't know who is complaining, I can't get them to read the summary.

Already exists.

Have fun and good luck.

I'm far from being a crabby old man. Maybe your conceited.

I'm very happily married to a beautiful lady that is 10 years younger than I (the nights are totally awesome), I have two beautiful children who are returning this week-end) from a 2 month vacation (in the Caribbeans), I get plenty of inspection work, and my bank gets deposits on a weekly basis. What more can anyone ask for. I'm far from being crabby and I'm always very happy and content with my life and I thank GOD everyday.

The home inspection concept is pretty simple. We are all home inspectors who are hired by R/E consumers to point out visible defects throughout their prospective home. And that's exactly what I do. I walk them through their chosen home and talk my A5S off until the home inspection is complete. I then finalize their home inspection report and hand it to them.

My point being (Regarding this synth software)....Buyers who call me are looking for a thorough home inspection. They are not interested in getting a total 3-D picture of the exterior walls and every last room in the house. If they are, they are asking the wrong person. I want to be in and out of a home inspection and onto the next home buyer. Not snapping hundreds of photos of the inside and outside of a home and then taking these pictures to a website and uploading hundreds of useless pictures that have nothing to do with why they hired you in the first place.

If this is what you want to do, then you go right ahead and amaze yourself in this type of work. I've got things to do, places to go to and a family to bring places.

Good luck with you new technology and I hope this works for you.

Way too time consuming. One room would require many photos in order for this to work clearly.

Good Luck to all that use this program. I've got inspections to perform.

David the above is a quote that sounds smug to me.

I am self confident to be sure but where does your comment come from as I am not bragging about the women I date or pushing my religion on you ,
I am not here bragging about vacation trips or all the concerts I have been to,so where do your last comments come from other than some kind of rage that G-D may not approve of?

Buddy all I did was post something for members to examine rather than keep to my self.

It is called sharing!

I am happy for you that you have a wonderful wife and kids but not sure where these strange comments spawn from.

Perhaps I could mention that Thermal imaging takes extra time and is not required in the SOP but that would be detracting from the thread subject which you seem intent on doing.

By the way do you add photos or illustrations in your reports?
Do you quote sources?
Do you ever look up codes?

Many things we do can be called a waste of time.(Happy Inspecting)
