Intro
When using Dragonframe at home the initial setup will be different than working in our labs.

- If you are using Dragonframe Tether with Dragonframe there is a Dragonframe Tether article.\
Getting Ready
- Set up your camera with a stable shot
- Think about the framing of the artwork.
- 16x9 or 4x3?

Lighting

- Watch out for light sources that could change

- The temperature is measured in a unit called kelvins
