Hello,
a friend of mine who is a photoreader uses the following technique to photofocus:
When he looks at the book he starts to become aware of the edeges of the book. So, it means he becomes aware of the whole book at once. Then he becomes aware of the surroundings, which means he becomes aware of the position of his hand, the edges of the table and the other books on the table.
When I asked him whether he can see the blip or not, he answered that he didn't know, because he is not concentrating on the middle of the book.
He said this works perfectly. Well, I haven't tried this yet, but anyone who is stuck with the photofocus step should give it a try.
To the professional photoreaders: What do you think?
