[Tweeters] Use of Merlin App

[via Tweeters]

Hi,

   The truly reliable part of using Merlin is the PhotoId.  It is very close to
bulletproof - even for birds that are in foreign countries.  I use it all the
time when processing my bird pictures and it is -very- good.  And even when
the picture you are using is from the back or front on.
   The way I use it for PhotoId is to take a picture of my photo - just after
I've done my post processing and just before I save it to my hard drive ...
with my iPhone using PhotoId and it is "spot on".  Try it this way and you
will be amazed.

   There are a -lot- of the IDs in these images that were done this way ...

   BTW - the least likely results are from the step-by-step Id in Merlin.
