Editing and Annotating Photos

Learn how to draw, write, crop, rotate, and adjust a photo right from the photo editor.

The photo editor lets you mark up a photo and fix it up, all in one place. Draw a line, drop a pin, type a label, or stamp a timestamp to point out details for your crew or customer. Crop out what you don't need, rotate a sideways shot, or adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation so the detail you're trying to show actually shows up.
