# Add Images

A sequence of tools shares a common database of images within which they work, but each tool has its own View and labeling information. Add images directly to the database by drag and drop into the database area on the right side of the screen from your desktop or file browser .

Once new images are added, they will be displayed in the Image Display Area. After adding a tool to process the images, they will be blurred and indicate that they need to be segmented by the message, "No ROI defined." In order to make these images available to the current tool, you have to segment them by clicking the tool's process button - the Scissor icon for the Blue Locate Tool, Red Analyze Tool, and Green Classify Tool, and the Book icon for the Blue Read Tool.

The default segmentation provides the tool with the complete image. Alternatively, you can manually adjust the ROI (right-click within the image and select Edit ROI) to configure the extracted View in terms of its size, position and orientation. For chained tools, the segmentation is dependent on the preceding tool, and will be dynamic, i.e. the View will depend on the preceding tool's result.
