Any easy way to draw / annotate onto picture / screenshot for P4XL ?

[Rickosw]

Hi guys,

Is there any simple way to draw / annotate onto picture / screenshot for P4XL ?

Other than going into picture using "markup".
This takes quite a few steps and loops to jump through.

Cos I was on LG V30 prior and there is a screen shot function (Capture+) within the notification and from there I can "draw lines / annotate " directly onto the picture/screenshot.
Very streamline and effortless.

Many thanks!

Re: Make adjustment (draw lines) onto picture

I haven't used it but this looks like it might do what you're looking for:

Edit - just installed as I have use for something like this as well. Looks good - though limited to 1920p resolution for saving in the free mode, if that's a concern.

Hi Jeremy8000

thanks for your reply, but this is a separate app, just wondering if Google Pixel 4XL has any such function (draw / Annotate ) within the phone?

or i need to download a third party one

Easy? Simple?

Matter of opinion, I guess.

1. Open camera app
2. Take photo
3. Tap Gallery icon on camera screen
4. Tap edit icon below image
5. Tap nine-dots icon at bottom right
6. Tap Markup tool

Screenshot:

1. Hold power button for a few seconds
2. Tap Screenshot
3. Wait a moment for screenshot notification to appear
4. Tap Edit
5. Tap Markup tool

@N4Newbie - works on my P3 too - never knew that thanks!

I'm using one app name Annotium to annotate the photo and very happy with it.

Does anyone make a "fine tipped" stylus for writing/marking, while editing a screenshot? Or what do you use, other than the tip of your finger?

 

[kmf1]

Does anyone use the Adonit Dash 3 stylus with their phone, tablet, etc.? It has a fine tip, is rechargeable, and is supposed to work with any touch screen. I'd like a fine tipped stylus for my 4XL, when editing screenshots, etc. Thanks.

I just use my fingertip. Curious to hear how that stylus works.

 

[kmf1]

I can't make the writing, with my fingertip, small enough. I may order this stylus and see. If I do so, I'll let you know, Scott. Karl

That's why I have Samsung Tab S6. Amazing tablet for reading, annotating, gaming, media consumption. Best tablet to date from Samsung (well probably S7 is now but happy with my S6)

True, writing on a screenshot is very difficult with fingers. I can see where a stylus would be useful. I have several stylus pens and they work on my Pixel 4 XL, but they are not fine tip and still not good for writing. But I don't see why the one you mentioned would not work, if generic stylus pens work.
