Introduction

We recommend that you rename your images with a unique file name: "chapter 12_3_4 figure 3.jpg" or "dermatofibroma fig 3.jpg", etc.

Adding images to dermoscopedia is a 2 step process:

1. Upload the images to the dermoscopedia file server
2. Inserting the file from the server into the text

→ download instructions

Uploading a file

Click on either one of these buttons:

You now have 2 choices:

Upload a file for dermoscopedia use

→ for all figures, illustrations and dermoscopic images

Upload a file for dermoscopedia and ISIC use

→ for all dermoscopy images which should be transferred to the ISIC archive

We recommend the upload to dermoscopedia and the ISIC archive (second option).
