Capture images: smart tools for image extraction

Modern photo ID card software will easily work with any digital camera. Regardless of the camera, the software will be able to help you locate the position of the face in the image, and crop the image appropriately to capture just the right part of it. The image is automatically contrast-adjusted and quality-improved. The resulting image is then transferred and retrieved from the database with a single click. This simplifies and speeds up the image generation and storage tremendously.

Design photo ID cards: use templates and mix and match for easy, unique design

Most modern photo ID software come with pre-loaded templates that will get you started with the new card design in no time flat. Take the template design that is closest to your desired design, change the colors, add the logo, add the text, design in the magnetic stripe on the back of the card if needed, as well as print the back side of the card.

Manage your data with a database

Modern software will come with a built-in local database of member records, including images, signatures, and bar codes, and template records. The records can be searched easily and retrieved in seconds. At any point, detailed reports on information recorded, and ID cards made, can be generated straight out of the database.

Finally, printing and writing the magnetic strip

Modern photo ID card printing software includes photo ID card printer software and drivers and is ready to send instructions to plastic ID card printers on how to print both sides of the card, and how to encode the magnetic strip on the back if desired. Just make sure that you have chosen the right photo ID printer from the pull-down menu and you are all set.
