When should you insert data ?

If you use a digital camera, it is advisable to insert data just before or after shooting photographs. When registering image files, tkDerm will relate image files with corresponding data on the basis of comparison between the time when you inserted data and the time when you shot photographs. Therefore, tkDerm cannot make a correct judgement on which data correspond to which photographs if you inserted data too early or too late compared with the time when shooting.

If you use a film camera, the timing issue mentioned above doesn't matter because AIR doesn't work in case of a film camera. Instead, you should relate images with data manually. Nonetheless, the data insertion order needs to be the same as the shooting order. For example, if you shot a patient 2 after a patient 1, you must insert data on the patient 2 after data on the patient 1. If not, the result of manual image-to-data mapping would be different from what you expected.
