I lost all my settings when installing v 2.0.02, so I had to re calibrate the camera. I tried the new method with Tag Tracking (control right click on camera window).
System worked really well, much quicker than the ‘old’ method and as a bonus, I saw you can now safe your settings. Well done!

It’s nice to finally have someone who likes the new LB version/camera calibration (and writes it). Can you tell me how precise your retrieval values are, and does it work stably for you?
Retrieval Values? help me where I see that?
Anyway I did it again, just for fun and to see how the process was, as the camera was recognised.
By the way, I use the Sculpfun Camera on a Sculpfun S9
After the alignment, I made a little cross (5mm x 5 mm) at the dead centre of the workplace.
With this I needed to shift the camera 0.5 mm to the left (ie X -0.5) and 2.3mm to the top)
Then I added a cross to the centre left, centre right, centre top and centre bottom.
Centre left and right were dead on, between the top and bottom I adjusted the height with -1.25% which averaged the error. (Top was a bit worse than bottom. aprox 1.8mm out on a 400x400 work area ) Now for what I use the camera, I am more than happy, as I use it to minimize wastage of cut-offs, but I won’t use it to write on a rice grain (as I have seen somewhere).
I hope this helps.
…that’s a stupid translation error, I meant reproducibility, continuity of the same good quality.
I’m just testing another new LightBurn camera and I’m excited to see how it performs.
I’ve been using the camera function for a long time and it saves me a lot of material.
For placing items on scraps, a precision of 1mm is ok, but for placing text on a sign or similar tasks, I want and have a more precise tolerance. If I want to go under half a millimeter, I sometimes divide my work area into 4 equal parts and fine-tune to the chosen square.
I see that you work with both Windows and Linux, can you see/notice a difference in camera handling between the 2 OS?
Ah, my Linux machine… I’m afraid it’s RIP 
, (Recycled In Parts)… 
Like we all may have to face it when we get older, the memory was going… The machine was from 2000…
So I am now on a Windows 10 for the workshop (aka garage) and windows 11 in the design room (aka my desk).
I think you idea to split the work area in four parts is a good idea.
I engrave knives as plant labels. To do that I have 10 rectangles burned on a piece of ply (or cardboard) which is fixed and locked in place. I disable the output of the rectangular, and place the text in it. Now if I put the knife handles in the rectangular, the text comes nicely where I want it…
Every time I start up, I mark the rectangles again, to make sure everything is aligned.
This is how it shows in Lightburn
This is the finished products (They are labels for the Hostas collection of my wife)

Yes, I know that, people today hardly know what D-Ram is, and the pharmacist only looks at me strangely when I ask for 2..3 Tb H-Ram for myself. 
If I have to make many, I will make a small jig with a fixed reference point at 0:0 and save it in an LB file.
