Request: make freehand annotations
dmtoddma:
I'd like to revive this request, to be able to draw freehand on an image within ScreenshotCaptor. I often want to do make minor edits to text or web pages. The windows snipping tool does this nicely but doesn't have nearly the number of other features of SC. If this isn't going to be added, can you suggest a simple, quick to load external editor that would offer this function?
Thanks.

Hi David.
I agree it would be useful to build it in.
I actually implemented a minimal freehand tool, but disabled it because it was a bit clunky and hard to fit in with the other object tools in terms of letting user be able to edit what they add. I may try to add it back and we can see if it can be made to work well.
Having said that, SC was designed to work very well with external image editors, and your question about recommending a simple quick load external editor with this feature is a great one.
There are some good big free editing tools like the Gimp and Paint.net.. but i think you are probably wise to want a small fast one -- does anyone know a good fast free image editor that is particularly good at freehand markup?
mouser:
Just a quick update -- after spending a few hours on this today I feel comfortable saying that simple freehand drawing will be added to Screenshot Captor soon.
It will be just simple drawing with a round pen of user-chosen size, color, and transparency, and an eraser. Nothing more.
The only thing I need to work on before releasing a version with this is I want to make it like the rest of the objects, where the paint layer is something you can come back to and edit/clear later, which is going to take a bit more work. I may release the non-undoable version before then if people would like to experiment.
