| Purpose |
This is a video demonstration on the process of importing, tagging and organizing digital images |
| Methods |
A Canon EOS 60D digital single lens reflex camera and a 60mm macro lens are used to capture the photographs. The images are imported into the computer using Adobe Lightroom 3 software where files are renamed according to a standardized convention and stored in folders. The folders are arranged chronologically on the hard drive. The images are tagged with diagnosis and other keywords to facilitate retrieval at a later date. The digital images are encrypted using Trucrypt software and backed up in multiple hard drives. |
| Results |
Digital images are shown to be organized in chronological folders. The file names renamed in a specific convention and specific keywords are added to the metadata of the image files. The files are backed up after being encrypted in Trucrypt which is an open source encryption software. |
| Conclusion |
Clinical images captured on a camera can be organized into a database and secured in line with the requirements of data protection act. |
