Editing Annotations

Once you have added an annotation you can edit it in a number of ways, including resizing, re-positioning, and rotating. You can only edit annotations whilst the image is open in the image editing tool. When you click or click File > Post Image any changes you have made to annotations will be made permanent and cannot be undone. This is an important consideration particularly when an annotation is used to anonymise images.

1. Click on the annotation.
2. From the context menu select an option. For example, to move an annotation, click Move, re-position the cursor, and click left mouse button.

   You can also edit line and fill colour. Refer to for more details.
