# 2.6 Import from Gallery

Use ****Import from Gallery**** to load previously saved iris photos for analysis. This is useful for:

- Re-analysing archived patient images.

- Comparing results across sessions using the same raw photo.

- Testing with reference images.

****Both eyes at once****

A single gallery action prompts for the right eye image, then the left eye image in sequence.

****Single eye****

If you only have one image to update, you can import it for the right or left eye individually from the individual eye card on the Camera Mode Selector.

****Tip:**** Gallery images are copied into a PupilMetrics-managed folder so the original file is never modified.
