Documenting Geological Core Samples with Photography
Geologists photograph drill core samples for stratigraphic logging and mineral identification. Core photos must be consistently lit, scaled, and annotated for geological databases and reports.
Workflow
- Photograph core sample segments with a ruler for scale reference
- Use the Image Rotator to ensure consistent horizontal orientation
- Use the Image Cropper to standardize the framing of each core segment
- Use the Image Resizer to create uniform dimensions across all segments
- Convert to a composite PDF using Image to PDF for the core log report
- Upload individual images to the geological sample database
