This article presents footwear print comparions in court.
Abstract
A simple, yet powerful method is described to aid the presentation of shoeprint comparisons in court. This method uses Adobe Photoshop Elements or other similar software for image processing and Microsoft PowerPoint for the presentation in court. The PowerPoint presentation will enable the expert to show the test impressions overlapping the prints, gradually change the opacity of the test impression on the print, and slightly move the test impression to imitate in great accuracy the comparison and evaluation process done in the laboratory.
