Annotate an image

Annotations are images you mark up and attach to an Attitude, such as postpro with arrows and notes, a screen grab, or a photo. They're shown alongside the Attitude's postpro, so everyone sees the context.

Upload an annotation

  1. Open the upload dialog in either of these ways:
    • In the postpro viewer, click Upload Annotations. The annotation goes to the Attitudes selected on the Results page. You can also drop images onto the button.
    • In the Results table's Annotations column, click the upload icon for one Attitude.
  2. Add images. Any of these works:
    • Click Select Images (.png, .jpg, .jpeg).
    • Drag images into the dialog.
    • Press Ctrl+V to paste one. To grab an image from the postpro viewer, right-click it and choose Copy Image.
  3. If several Attitudes are selected, choose which ones in Select attitude(s). Each image is attached to every Attitude you choose.
  4. For each image:
    • Click the image to draw on it (see below).
    • Add an optional Description. It supports headings, formatting, lists and links, up to about 1,000 characters including formatting.
  5. Click Upload Annotations.

When reviewing is on for your Account, the button is Upload Annotations for Review, which uploads a draft for an approver. Approvers also have Upload & Publish Annotations.

Uploads carry on in the background if you click Close and finish uploads in the background.

Draw on an image

Clicking an image opens the annotator. Its tools are: - frames and filled covers - freehand lines - arrows and lines - text and callouts - ellipses - highlights - measurements - curves

Select a marker to change its colour, line width, style, font or opacity. Undo, Redo and zoom are in the top toolbar. Click the tick to save your drawing onto the image, or the cross to discard it.

View annotations

  • In the Results table's Annotations column, a dot shows that an Attitude has annotations: green if all are approved, amber if some are drafts, red if all are drafts. Click it to open them in the postpro viewer.
  • Or select the Attitudes and choose Annotations in Available Postpro.

Each annotation shows who created it and when, its status (Approved or Pending Approval) and its description. Drafts are marked DRAFT. Use Re-order Annotations to change the order. Approvers can approve or revoke an annotation with the tick or cross button.

Edit or delete an annotation

In the annotation's info panel: - the pencil icon (Edit Description) changes the description - the bin icon (Delete Annotation) removes it

These controls appear for approvers, and for the author of a draft.
