- **Image path (default)**: The images can be located in the default DeepProfiler folder (which is `inputs/images`) so no specific path needs to be defined here, only the Plate/FileName, as shown in the [metadata file example](https://github.com/cytomining/DeepProfiler-handbook/blob/00f3b41e753a40a1e3854a75bd491b7c1864a4da/DeepProfiler-Handbook/assets/index.csv).

- **Image path (customized)**: If the user cannot move the images to the default location, images can also be located in a specific folder inside the user's machine instead of the default. For example, a user can specify the location of the DNA image to be `C:\Users\User1\images\41744\taoe005-u2os-72h-cp-a-au00044859_f21_s1_w159ff0023-3fa4-4acb-a277-af596b4e9e25.tif`.
