Photos from the web
Ask for a photo: the assistant searches free image libraries, checks that the photo matches the subject and inserts it with its credit.
Ask for a photo
In Edit mode, just describe what you want, for example:
- "Add a photo of an electron microscope in the Methods section."
- "Illustrate the introduction with a photo of offshore wind turbines."
The assistant:
- searches free image libraries (Wikimedia Commons, Pexels, Pixabay);
- looks at each photo to check that it really shows the requested subject, and discards off-topic ones;
- saves the chosen photo in the project's
figures/folder; - inserts it in the document, in a figure whose caption credits the author and the source.
A preview card appears for each new image, with Keep image and Delete image. Photos that were downloaded but not used in the end are removed from the project.
Credits and licenses
The credit line is added automatically, but it's up to you to check that the photo's license suits your use (publication, commercial use, modification). Follow the source link given in the credit to read the license.
Your own images
To use your own images, simply add them to the project: see Images, figures and charts.
