Kevr0123 1 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I have a problem with the light on while trying to take a photo of a post-it note, document, or business card. I work with a lot of glossy documents and the bright light reflection messes up my photos. There's no way to turn it off and so I have to manually cover the light and take a photo and it's really annoying when I'm adding many document pages to my notes. Link to comment

Level 5 cwb 225 Posted February 24, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Note that for Post-it's there not likely to be any traction on the request there.Post-its are not glossy The feature is predicated on accurate detection of color to enable the optional tagging/routing options. It's virtually not possible without a calibrated light sourceLikewise with the Document Scanner, remember this is also coupled with the Moleskin notebook's and the color sticker detection.The features were likely sort of ad supported. Meaning developed through funds based on the partnership with Post-it and Moleskin.They need the features to work reliably without a lot of support requests and frustration from people spending money on the branded products.

Kevr0123 1 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I'm not talking about the post it stickers being too glossy; I'm talking about what I place the stickies on. I add a sticky on a glossy document to make a post it note and the reflection makes it difficult to read my notes. I'd like a the feature to turn off the camera light. It's a relatively simple fix for an app designer. Link to comment
Level 5 cwb 225 Posted February 24, 2014 Level 5 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If working correctly you shouldn't see any of the glossy document when the camera is in Post-it mode. It's designed to edge detect and crop out everything but the post it.If the intent is to include the post-it and the thing it's on, that's for Document mode (but yes, you'll still have the flash issue). No question it's a simple fix. In fact, it took effort and extra code on their part to ignore the built in UI controls in the camera to ignore the LED setting. My hazy memory says early on, you could override it. They did it I assume based on the support load of people complaining about mis-recognized colors. I don't think there'll be any traction moving it from default on. I do agree with you however that if someone knows better, they should be able to turn it off with the UI that's in there (or hide it and offer another), and I'd be OK with it forgetting my setting and turning it back on each new Evernote session. What they likely wrestle with is people turning it off and forgetting it's off, then complaining that Evernote won't detect their smart stickers or Evernote brand Post-it colors. Link to comment
mikelisa 3 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I have a problem with the light on while trying to take a photo of a post-it note, document, or business card.

There's no way to turn it off and so I have to manually cover the light and take a photo and it's really annoying when I'm adding many document pages to my notes.II am just trying the camera feature with Post-Its. My problem is that the flash STAYS on through out the whole processing cycle. It really should turn right off after taking the picture ... as it was designed to do. Leaving the flash on for about 20 seconds or so is a SERIOUS battery drain. Link to comment
obw 0 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do you not ever test this stuff before you send it off to your users. Like so many LITTLE THINGS with Evernote, it's the little things that will sink you. Link to comment
