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

Uploading a file

You have 2 choices:

<b>Upload&nbsp;a&nbsp;file&nbsp;for&nbsp;dermoscopedia&nbsp;use</b>

→ for all figures, illustrations and dermoscopic images

<b>Upload&nbsp;a&nbsp;file&nbsp;for&nbsp;dermoscopedia&nbsp;and&nbsp;ISIC&nbsp;use</b>

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

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

Steps to take

• Choose a unique descriptive name for your files
• Click on the "Upload" button and upload the file from your computer
• Wait until the file has been uploaded to the wiki.
• Add information so files will be searchable
• Click on "Save page" at the very bottom.
• Done!
