Anywhere you can add a photo — a patient’s chart, a profile picture, a skin analysis, or a scribe note — you can take one straight from your device’s camera instead of uploading a file. The camera window gives you a few tools to help you get a clean, consistent shot.

​
Take a photo

  1. Choose to add a photo, then pick the camera option to open the camera window.
  2. Allow camera access if your browser asks for it.
  3. Frame your shot in the live preview and press the round Photo button. To record a short clip instead, press the Video button, then Stop when you’re done.
On a phone or tablet you can pinch to zoom, tap to focus, and use the switch-camera button to flip between the front and rear cameras.

​
Gridlines

Turn on gridlines to show a grid over the live preview. The grid divides the frame into thirds, both across and down, which makes it easier to keep the camera level and place your subject consistently from one photo to the next. Gridlines are just a guide — they don’t appear in the photo you take.

​
Ghosting

Ghosting shows a faint copy of an earlier photo on top of the live preview, like a stencil, so you can line the patient up the same way every visit. This keeps a series of before-and-after photos consistent — the same angle, distance, and head position — which makes treatment progress easy to compare.
  1. Press the ghost button and choose the earlier photo you want to match (for example, the patient’s photo from their last visit).
  2. The photo appears faintly over the live preview.
  3. Move the camera (or ask the patient to adjust) until the live face lines up with the faint one.
  4. Press the ghost button again at any time to hide the overlay.

​
The green “Aligned” badge

While ghosting is on, a green Aligned badge and outline appear as soon as the patient’s face lines up with the reference photo. It watches the face in the middle of the frame — not the background — so you get a clear cue that this shot will match the earlier one before you press the shutter.
  • The faint overlay and the badge are only guides; they are never part of the photo you take.
  • If you zoom in or out, the overlay scales with the preview so it stays lined up.
