# NikoFrame - Versions and roadmap Public information checked: 2026-11-11 Installed evaluation build: NikoFrame Next 0.40 (87.18) In development: Next 87.18 NikoFrame is in development and evaluation. A public version is coming soon. NikoFrame Cloud is being prepared. Registration and public use are not active. NikoFrame is in development and evaluation. A public version is coming soon. Face and neck photography series Rhinoplasty · Full-face Series · Rhinoplasty · Nasal Close-ups · Facelift · Facial Series · Facelift · Face & Neck Series To reduce repositioning, capture all frontal views first, then the right oblique views including Bravo, the right lateral views including Connell and the corresponding platysma-contraction views. Repeat on the left and finish with Auersvald. Right/Left Caudal-oblique view (Bravo) From an oblique position, slightly flex the head forward and look down, then tilt it toward the opposite shoulder. Aim the camera toward the submandibular region. NikoFrame defaults to 5× where available, using the usual full-face photography distance; other supported lens options remain selectable. Right/Left lateral view, neck flexed (Connell) Use the usual lateral facial photography position and distance, with the head and neck flexed. Reproduce the same pose, camera position and framing for before-and-after photographs. Flexed neck frontal upward view (Auersvald) Flex the head forward and photograph from below, aiming upward toward the submandibular region. Include the lower neck and center the target within the frame. Choose the camera position for a clear view rather than a fixed chest-contact point. NikoFrame defaults to 2×; other supported lens options remain selectable. Synthetic positioning illustrations explain the NikoFrame workflow. Lens presets depend on device capabilities and are app settings, not claims of clinical validation. Keep positioning and capture conditions consistent between sessions. NikoFrame is designed for physicians, other professionals and care teams who document patient images. It grew from a plastic surgeon’s perspective and everyday practical needs, through stages of development, testing and revision. The aim is to combine ease of use with professional tools; this is not evidence of real-user usability or clinical validation across specialties. NikoFrame is a practical aid for everyday documentation when professional equipment is not at hand. It uses compatible phone cameras and guidance; it does not replace professional medical photography or guarantee equivalent quality. Choose equipment for the purpose and accuracy required. ## Installed evaluation build NikoFrame Next 0.40 (87.18) is installed in the owner's private trial. Public app distribution and NikoFrame Cloud access remain coming soon. ## In development Experimental tools and the broader scientific-reference review remain in development. They are not presented as clinically validated features. ## Future goals · feasibility first Multi-Camera with external cameras, including Nikon D750, is a future feasibility goal. External Live View and camera-control compatibility are not offered. Automatic native cloud sync and controlled sharing also remain future goals, without a promised date. ## Separate web preview NikoFrame Cloud is being prepared. Registration and public use are not active. ## Guidance without a clinical guarantee View guides and 2D alignment assist documentation. They do not establish diagnostic accuracy, calibrated measurements, treatment effectiveness or identical photography. Preserve originals and review differences in lighting, distance, pose and processing. ## Features - Choose anatomical views and configurable protocols, with patient positioning, lens, distance and framing guides where your device supports them. - Keep each patient’s visits, photography sessions, images and documents together for review. - Edit album titles, Before/After roles and photo selections, and keep revision history. The recorded capture phase stays unchanged. - Match a pair automatically or adjust it manually with uniform scale, translation and optional rotation. Originals stay separate; this does not correct 3D perspective. - Show a previous original over the camera view to help repeat framing and patient position. - Add drawing, text, arrows and circles directly on photos and document pages while retaining the original files. - Zoom in on imported photos and confirm their capture date and view before adding them to the archive. - The iPhone app supports selected-photo PDF, before-and-after layouts, printing and optional physician branding. ### A previous photo series as your guide Choose a previous series from the same patient's Consultation, Before or After sessions. Changing the capture view loads its corresponding view and side from that series. A missing view is reported rather than replaced with an unrelated photo. Adjust opacity or select None. ### Defaults and session adjustments Main Settings holds the usual guide series, view set, room lighting and background notes, and print-frame preference. Consultation, Before and After sessions can have their own capture adjustments. Changing a session does not silently change global defaults; Save as Default is explicit. ### Adjust the views without deleting photos Add or remove views in a capture series without deleting their saved patient photographs. ### An optional print frame, preserved originals Show the print frame while capturing when useful. Export the full photo or create a crop using the print frame recorded at capture. Cropping creates a derivative and keeps the original. Older photos without reliable frame information require an explicit safe fallback. ### Positioning help beside the guide Open help for the current view to see its guide image and concise positioning tips. Learn More opens the existing explanation and references. Repeatable photographs still depend on lighting, distance, positioning and careful review. ### Annotation improvements under verification Review images with explicit drawing tools and Save or Discard controls; keep the original photograph intact.

These show software controls, not patient outcomes or clinical validation; they are not evidence of the owner-installed 87.18 or a public release.
