Dear Forum,
I am trying to make sure that my photofocussing is being done correctly. I like the blip page method because i can easily see it. However, I have tried another variation of this method by drawing a 2 cm vertical pencil stroke in the middle of each page of a small document. This way, I can photofocus 1 page at a time as psychologically, I think I prefer it that way but it may not be any different. Anyway,
When I photofocus, I see to the right of the pencil stroke a blip stroke about 1.5” to the right of the pencil stroke I made. When I consider the left side of the pencil stroke, I see that the text on the left side of the stroke I made appears to have move towards the pencil stroke in a rightwards direction, again about 1.5”. That is, I don’t see a blip pencil stroke on the left.
So, my questions are (I think);
If I use the normal blip page method, is photoreading the right hand pages more dominant and successful than the left because the ‘blip’ pencil stroke appears on the right?
Is it more successful on the left because the text on the left of the blip moves to the right?
Shouldn't the pencil stroke I make be in the centre of 2 blip strokes? i.e. the pencil mark I make moves to the left (or right) with the corresponding blip on the right (or left).
Do some people experience the ‘blip’ on the left hand side of the real object and does this show left/right eye dominance ?
Is using the blip method inferior to using the X method of looking at the four corners of the open book because it doesn’t use ‘blip’?
Does this anomaly matter?
Thanks,
Maz
