Annotating a photo

Open any photo and choose Annotate. Draw freehand, add arrows, boxes, ellipses, lines and text.

The original is never overwritten

Annotations are stored as a separate layer of shapes, plus a flattened copy saved alongside the original. Three consequences:

• Reports print the flattened version, so the markup is visible.
• The untouched original stays downloadable, always.
• An annotation can be removed later without having damaged anything.

A burned-in arrow that cannot be removed destroys the thing being documented. That is why it works this way.
