Photo To Document

If your loved one has passed away, please mail a copy of the death certificate and a photo copy of their license or ID (if you have it) to the DMV. This will prevent further mailings or identity theft.
Regarding your issue with the Photo document appearing at a low resolution when placed into Publisher, this may be caused by a linked image layer within the .afphoto file (Castle Wall Photo) having to re-link to the file location on your Mac every time.
When I place the .afphoto file into Publisher, this requires me to re-link your Castle Wall resource back to the correct folder on my Mac which corrects the blurriness immediately (see attached Video).
Regarding your contrast issue, I didn't encounter this when placing the document into Publisher as it appeared identically (after re-linking the image) to Photo. This shouldn't particularly matter since the colour space of the linked resource is retained but are both the image and Publisher file set to the same colour space?
Even though I didn't choose to embed the Castle Wall jpg image in my request earlier today, the Publisher and Photo document file sizes are 14 and 11 MB. Shouldn't they be much smaller if the document or image is just linked?
Generally files which contain embedded resources are larger than if they are linked due to the image data being stored within the file, though since the image itself isn't particularly large it will make a negligible difference.
On an M1 MacBook Pro 13" with macOS 11.6.5 and same Affinity program versions, the non rasterized version of the Photo document placed in Publisher looks like what I would expect. See attached screenshot: 06_affinity_photo_document_placed_in_publisher_is_darker_M1_11.6.5.png
The workaround to embed all images is not viable for larger Publisher documents, and having to create a raster version of the layers in a Photo document is very error prone and dangerous and greatly defeats the Affinity integration.
I have a Photos document with just a few layers and when I place this document into a Publisher document the color of the Photos image is darker and has more contrast. With the other mentioned workarounds (flattening, rasterising and exporting as TIFF file) the placed file's color does not change in Publisher. I discovered that when I add a solid color pixel layer at the bottom of the other layers in Photos, I can place the file in Publisher without needing to get rid of all layers (flattening, TIFF etc. and no color change is visible). This is on an Intel MacBook Pro. The M1 MacBook Pro I tested does not have this issue.
The two files you uploaded here, "The Bridge - background embedded.aphoto" and "The Bridge - background embedded.afpub" look exactly alike to me and my crude measuring. It may be that there was some change made to the embedded image on the intel Mac's Publisher file or to the intel Mac's Photo file.
Issues logged here are passed on to the developers by us (Serif Staff) if the issue can be replicated. Your original issue with linked layers going missing has already been raised. However, I'll need to see if your issue with mis-matching visuals with the apps can be reproduced in order to log it otherwise it will likely be down to environmental factors, so far both apps have been visually identical on my Intel Mac, the same for other members of the team.
In your screenshot it shows that you're viewing the placed .afphoto file in Publisher, if you were to double click on the embedded document layer in Publisher to open the edit view and then compare against Photo, does it then appear darker?
We've been able to replicate your issue on an M1 Mac Mini, it appears that Hardware Acceleration is causing a rendering issue which shouldn't occur, when we turned this off in both apps this then caused both to render identically.
Students often use their cell phone camera to make copies of each others' notes and then they come to me to print them. Printing such images as is would be a waste of toner. Removing the perspective and adjusting colors to have real white background is time consuming. They usually cannot do it and I usually don't want to do it for them. They also don't like when I tell them that the price is multiplied by three if I print the photos as they are. (The service is non-profit.)
Usual image properties: The A4 document is on the floor, or on a table. Pure white paper (or patterned paper) has writing on it with pen. Sometimes it is a photo of a printed PDF (Yeah!). Sometimes they use red and blue and black pen on the same page. The lighting is usually not horrible (but sometimes they make it in a pub using flash).
I used Microsoft's free Office Lens on your example image and it converted it to the image below in under 1 second. This is a standalone application intended for use with cameras and scanners although it will also import existing images.
It seems this is only available for Windows 10 (and Android and iPhone) so I don't know if it meets your requirement. It does not require the rest of Office to be installed although it integrates with other Office software such as OneNote if you have it.
I'm looking for some thing (or method) that can do any or all of the above so I can go from a number of JPG files to a single [optionally] annotated PDF of the whole thing, that's in the right format (A4 typically).
Another nice little program is gscan2pdf, where you can also load photos and export them as PDF. There is is even a link to GIMP so you can improve the photo with the above described steps.
To generate a printable copy or a PDF from a camera photo of a document we have to manually convert quite a lot achieve an image similar to he output from a scanner. Most of these conversions can be done with Gimp.
Depending on our photo lens quality and the zoom level we had used we may have some cushion artifacts leading to bending of the document's outer borders. There are plugins to also remove these artifacts but we may find it quicker to choose a zoom level of our camera where they are minimal only. After cropping (5.) we may not even notice them any more. So removing cushion artifacts may only be needed in case our source image has a lot of straight lines in the outer parts.
Unlike a scanner our camera may not get the source in parallel to the image borders. The Gimp Rotate or Perspective tool will give us a visual feedback to be able to rotate or adjust the perspective of an image until the text lines are in parallel to the page.
Depending on the camera resolution scaling up the image to a scanner image size will only increase the file size but will have no benefit on the image quality. Scaling down will remove details. Thererfore we should not scale the image but adjust the print size from the printer dialog (or below in 8.).
If you already have the image of the document, just download CamScanner app to your phone/tablet. It will allow you import the image, then will do a suggested crop and allow you to flatten as well as adjust colours/contrast etc. Only takes a minute.
Notice on Digital ID Documents: Some states have digital ID documents, mobile driver's licenses, or mobile IDs. We cannot accept these digital IDs when you apply for your U.S. passport. You must give us a physical, photo ID and a photocopy of the ID.

Our corporate office then generates a document off of the line to share with project owners updating them on the project status. Is there anyway to pull the attached images with their names directly into the generated document?
We are currently downloading and saving each attached photo. Then inserting them one by one into a cell and using another cell to list the photo description. This is very time consuming and requires that we re-type the photo description several times.
Hi Kelli. Does your group have Dynamic View? If so, I would suggest switching from having your team complete a form to using Dynamic View instead. I was able to quickly create a test sheet with just 2 columns on it. One called Picture and one called Description. Then I went to Dynamic View and created a view there from the sheet. When I created a new entry to the sheet via Dynamic View the field called Picture has 3 dot next to it where you can insert an image. Instead of attaching it to the sheet like a form does, it actually puts the picture in the cell on the sheet in the Picture column.
Bummer. That would be a simple solution to your problem. I'm not sure how to accomplish it otherwise. Dynamic View can be really helpful. Maybe see how much time per year you are spending on manually editing those PDFs for images and compare the cost of time/wages versus the cost of Dynamic View. Maybe you can get them to spring for additional SmartSheet tools.
