RSS FeedI thought that the most appropriate first blog would be an introduction to who I am, and what my plans are for this blog. Something short and to the point.
I’m George Reis and I am the owner of Imaging Forensics, Inc. providing consulting services in forensic video analysis, forensic image analysis, and forensic photography to attorneys, police agencies, and insurance companies. I also provide training in these fields, primarily to law enforcement personnel.
What’s my plan? I hope to post weekly on issues relating my work – which means, image analysis, image authentication, forensic photography, expert witness work, the training I provide, etc. Tips and techniques that I find helpful in this work will likely be included as well. I’ll try to be brief and keep things interesting.
Since I’m new at this, I’d appreciate your input on what you’d like to see here. Please post a comment, or drop me an e-mail.

George…this is wonderful and congratulations on doing this. I can’t imagine people in your field not following this blog. I know you will have it chock full of excellent information. Don’t forget to mention Forensic Expert Witness Association in some of your comments. http://www.forensic.org

About time George! It brings me back to the days of your old bulletin board. Times have changed.
I look forward to reading more.

G,
Read your book on PS CS-3 and found it to be extremely helpful. Just got PS-CS-4 at work (AFIS operator) hope you’ll be giving some tips on your blog.

Is anyone using the OpenGL feature (rotate hand tool)in PS-CS4 (for forensic work?) I get a wndow that says: “could not complete request-only works with OpenGL enabled windows.”

Yes, the OpenGL features in PS-CS4 are wonderful. The rotate tool is key for temporarily rotating your images during comparisons. The improvement in viewing images at odd magnifications is great. You need to be sure that you have a graphics card that supports these features, and the feature must be turned on in the Performance Preference. There’s more information on the Adobe website here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404898.html
