I am getting calls for residential work which I did not want to get into. Did a job for a friend which led to My phone ringing off the hook.
Today iCapsol another resi with releasit. I thought the women was going to have an orgasim. Had her carpets done by two national companies in the past and was not happy.They couldn't get them "as clean" and were "WET" for two days. (Obviously poor technicians.) I think we need to tone it down on this board or more guys are going to catch on....LOL... (My 2 porty's are getting cobb webs on them.)

BTW: What's the best way to take pictures...Flash or no flash????

Taking digital before and after photos

July 28 2007, 6:44 AM 

My experience taking before and after pictures with a digital camera has been that they turn out better without flash. I use a good camera, but I've always seen that the flash will wash out some of the color variation in the photo so that you don't see as strong of a contrast between clean and dirty.

Make sure you select the correct light/white-balance setting for the room you are in. And hold the camera very still, so that you don't jiggle the camera even slightly. It's easy to jiggle the camera ever so slightly when you're not using flash in a moderately lit room, and this WILL distort your image. You may also need to adjust the brightness and contrast a little with your imaging software to accommodate not using flash.

I'm glad to hear the iCapsol/Releasit combination is doing a good job for you! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for that info. I can never seem to get good pictures. I'll try those suggestions.
I wasn't kidding either about the results with the iCapsol and encapping. Gees Rick where were you a couple of years ago!!! LOL. I've been busting my back with my portys and this is like a vacation.The doctors office I contracted to clean once a month that I posted about a couple of weeks ago I did last week for the first time. WOW!! They loved it and I loved it. Pile lifted, vacuumed and Mexed the whole thing no pre-spray (getting out of that habit) Even able to get in tight areas with no problem.
