Annotating an Image

You can add any number of text annotations to an image, using any font or color available on your PC.

To add an annotation to an image, select the Annotate command from the Image menu.

To edit an existing annotation, select the annotation (by clicking on it with the mouse), and select Annotate from the Image menu. Or, double-click the annotation.

The Annotation Dialog

When editing or adding an annotation, you’ll be presented with the Annotation Dialog. From here you can edit the text of the annotation, and change the font and color.

While editing text, use the Ctrl+Tab key combination to add tab characters to your text. To add new lines, use the Ctrl+Enter key combination.

To change the font and color of the text, click the Font/Color button. This will display the standard Windows Font Dialog. From here you can choose the Font Facename, Style, Size, Effects, Color, and Script.

Whenever you change the attributes of an annotation font, you change the attributes for that annotation only. However, the font and color attributes will now become the default for the next annotation you add.
