Photos and images

When you add an item in Racine, you can attach one or more photos to it.

On the item creation or edit screen, you will see two options:

• a “Capture” button to take a new photo with your phone’s camera;
• a “Browse” button to choose a photo that is already on your phone (camera roll, downloads, etc.).

If you don’t see these buttons, please check that:

• you are on the add or edit item screen (and not just viewing the list of items);
• the app has permission to access your camera and photos in your phone’s settings.

You can add several photos to the same item to better document it (overall view, details, labels, etc.).

When you tap an item's photo in Racine, it can open full screen so you can see it better.

To close this image and go back to the previous screen, you usually just need to:

• tap the black area around the photo.

Depending on your app version, you can also:

• tap the photo itself again;
• use your phone’s back button (Android) or the standard back gesture (iOS).

If the image still seems stuck in full screen, you can close and reopen the app, then let us know via the help chat so we can improve this behaviour.

For now, Racine is only available as a mobile app on your phone.

The app can use photos that are accessible from your phone (camera roll, photo gallery, or apps that save images on your device), but it does not connect directly:

• to your computer’s hard drive;
• to Google Drive or other cloud storage services.

To use these photos in Racine, you can do the following:

1. Photos on Google Drive

   • Open the Google Drive (or Google Photos) app on your phone.
   • Download the photos you need to your phone’s gallery.
   • Go back to Racine and add these photos to your items from the gallery.

2. Photos on your computer (PC or Mac)

   • First transfer the photos to your phone (for example via USB cable, AirDrop, email, WhatsApp, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
   • Check that they appear in your phone’s photo gallery.
   • Open Racine and attach them to your items from the gallery.

Once the photo is saved on your phone, you can use it in Racine, no matter whether it originally came from your computer, Google Drive, or another service.
