Annotating Images
Learn how to use the annotations tools built into ScreenSteps.
Annotating Images
When you select an image (1) the annotation tools will appear on the toolbar (2). The current tools are Line, Rectangle, Oval, Sequence, Text and Blur.
Make an Annotation
Just select a tool and draw on the image. In this example we have used the rectangle tool.
Editing Tools
1. Select - use the Select tool to select, resize and delete annotations. Quick Tip: Press "s" to select this tool.
2. Crop - use this to crop images. Quick Tip: Press "c" to select this tool.
Annotations
These five tools allow you to annotate images:
- Line - draw straight lines with or without arrows.
- Rectangle - draw rectangles with or without fills.
- Oval - draw ovals with or without fills.
- Sequence - add numbers to your image.
- Text - add text annotations to your image.
- Blur - obfuscate sensitive information such as login names and passwords.
Quick Tip: Press "a" to select in tool in turn. Hold down the "shift" key to select in reverse order.






It would be great to be able to change the size, color, and font of text annotations to a picture.
@Bill: You can change these attributes using the Inspector Palette. With a text annotation selected just open the inspector and you can modify them.
