Easy background removal for photos on your phone
Doctor Mud posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
There is an update on the IPhone now that allows you to quickly and easily remove the background from any photo. For example. The background in this photo is white, but there are shadows, and the ruler. 1. To remove the background on your IPhone, simply hold your finger on the subject until a white line races around the edges and “copy or share” shows up. Like in the video below FullSizeRender.MOV 2. Click on “share” and scroll down to “save image” and that’s it. Look in your photos and you will have a photo of your fossil with the background removed like this. It has done quite a nice job at picking out all those cusps and serrations. Have fun. And it might be fun if people feel inclined to post some results of their experiments with this technique.

A few weeks ago I was looking for a new case for my iPhone. So I browsed around a Chinese internet shop. I came across cases with fossil pictures on the back: Icaronycteris from the Green River Formation, a Seymouria from the Permian, Aipichthys velifer from the Cretaceous of Lebanon, Archaeopteryx from Solnhofen, a fossil turtle (Green River?) and finally a Sparnodus vulgaris from the Eocene of Monte Bolca, Italy. Funny only that this Sparnodus vulgaris seemed so familiar to me! No wonder - the original is in my collection and hangs on the wall in the corridor. The Chinese company searched for some templates in the internet and found them at TFF. They probably downloaded the picture here in the forum. Now I have an IPhone housing with the image of a fish from my own collection. Thomas

I found a simple technique for getting better up close photos from an iPhone 6. I hold, with one hand, my 10x Hastings Triplex hand lens centered over the iPhone lens and the phone. See the difference (look at "ton" in Washington in these photos of a 1 $ US bill. Now, maybe we can see the pebbly texture of eggs or the grain in petrified wood. Photo without handlens:
