How to Properly Use Stampy to Identify Stamps from Photos
Stampy is your ultimate tool for identifying stamps effortlessly with just a photo. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of philately, following these tips will help you get the best results and enjoy a seamless experience.
Step 1: Prepare Your Stamp
Before taking a photo of the stamp, ensure it is clean and free from any obstructions like dirt or debris. A clear view of the stamp’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 stamp 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 stamp on a neutral, non-reflective background. A white or light-gray surface works best to provide contrast and make the stamp’s features stand out.
Step 4: Take a Clear Photo
When capturing your stamp photo:
• Hold your iPhone steady to avoid blurring.
• Use the camera’s focus feature by tapping on the stamp on your screen.
• Ensure the stamp fills most of the frame while keeping the edges visible.
For stamps 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:
1. Open the Stampy app.
2. Select or upload the photo of your stamp.
3. Let Stampy work its magic by sending the image to our advanced identification tool powered by OpenAI.
Within moments, you’ll receive detailed information about your stamp.
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 stamp.
• Low Contrast: If the stamp is too dark or blends with the background, choose a lighter surface for better clarity.
