How to Properly Use Antique Identifier to Identify Antiques from Photos
Antique Identifier is your ultimate tool for identifying antiques effortlessly with just a photo. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of antiques, following these tips will help you get the best results and enjoy a seamless experience.
Step 1: Prepare Your Antique
Before taking a photo of the antique, ensure it is clean and free from any obstructions like dirt or dust. A clear view of the antique’s details is essential for accurate identification.
Step 2: Set Up a Well-Lit Environment
Lighting plays a critical role in capturing a high-quality photo. Here are a few tips:
- Use natural light whenever possible, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent glare.
- If indoors, position the antique near a lamp or under diffused lighting to eliminate shadows.
- Avoid dim or uneven lighting that can obscure details.
Step 3: Use a Plain Background
Place the antique on a neutral, non-reflective background. A white or light-gray surface works best to provide contrast and make the antique’s features stand out.
Step 4: Take a Clear Photo
When capturing your antique photo:
- Hold your iPhone steady to avoid blurring.
- Use the camera’s focus feature by tapping on the antique on your screen.
- Ensure the antique fills most of the frame while keeping the edges visible.
For antiques with intricate details, you can use your phone’s zoom feature to focus on specific areas.
Step 5: Upload and Identify
Once you’ve taken the photo:
- Open the Antique Identifier app.
- Select or upload the photo of your antique.
- Let Antique Identifier work its magic by sending the image to our advanced identification tool powered by OpenAI.
Within moments, you’ll receive detailed information about your antique.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Blurry Images: Retake the photo with steadier hands or use a tripod if needed.
- Poor Lighting: Adjust your lighting setup and ensure even illumination across the antique.
- Low Contrast: If the antique blends with the background, choose a lighter or contrasting surface for better clarity.
