Add to a Document Page

After capturing or importing a photo, you can place it directly onto a body diagram page.

1

Select the image

After taking or choosing a photo, a dialog appears with three options: Edit Photo, Insert into Page, or Save to Case Media.

2

Tap "Insert into Page"

The image will be placed on the current body diagram page.

Edit & Annotate Images

Before or after inserting an image, you can edit and annotate it.

Crop and Resize

1

Tap "Edit Photo"

When the image dialog appears (after taking or selecting a photo), tap Edit Photo. Or, tap an already-placed image and select Edit.

2

Crop the image

Drag the crop handles to frame the area you want to keep. This is useful for focusing on a specific finding.

3

Tap "Done"

Save your edits and return to the workspace.

Annotate with Apple Pencil

In the image editor, you can draw on the photo using your Apple Pencil:

  • Circle or arrow to highlight specific findings
  • Write labels directly on the image
  • Use different colors for different types of annotations
