Making Notations on a Screenshot or Picture

[louie2701]

I saw that you are able to write or make notations on a screenshot / picture. Is there an easier way to do this rather than using PS Touch? Thanks.

OH YES, there's a much easier way!

Not as happy with how photos work! I couldn't get past having to use PS touch and it wouldn't let me get to my gallery. I haven't played with PS touch very much, it's been frustrating to try and learn. Here's a quick and dirty solution for photos....

Thank you, that worked well for screenshots, but no so easy for pictures that are already in my Gallery.

I agree, I don't have the patience for fumbling around with that PS Touch to write on a picture. It's incredibly easy on the Note phone. Just take the picture, tap menu, hit edit, hit tools, hit pen and there ya go. I can't believe it's not as simple on the tablet! You'll just have to get a Note 2 to have the best of both worlds!

Nice shot and nice thought. I just couldn't believe it wasn't do-able. Usually I enjoy figuring out software but PS Touch is more frustration than puzzle solving. With my note phone, shortly after I got it, I had ten spare minutes before work and thought I'd play with the camera feature just to see if I could get a clue on how to write on pics. In those ten minutes, I'd found the menu option, took about six pictures, wrote on each and figured out the menu system. They could keep ps touch and just give me the edit features from the note phone!

I just tried writing on a pic I took with my Note in S Note, I didn't find it that hard. Just import from gallery in S Note. I do see ythat getting the pic onto the site is a little harder. I'm not that familiar with ps touch, and it takes awhile tho open up the pic in that app. It seems that no app I've found yet opens the native s note .snb file extensions. So have to save it as jpeg or pdf files.

PS Touch isn't too bad once you've subjected yourself to the tutorials. Still, doing editing straight from Gallery ala the Note 2 is preferable.

In the Note phone, it's just so easy, I can't believe they made it harder. I think you're right about the easiest way being to export it to the Snote, but then you need to resize, and export the snote to jpg.... I guess I can get used to it.

ARossetter - When I've wanted to write on a few photos from the 10.1, I wanted to do it right away and the tutorials seemed like they would be for the complex stuff, I just didn't have the patience to work through it. Guess I should, I think there are some fun new things. But to just write on pictures it's still faster I think to get the picture moved to an S-note or even just send it to my phone. Have you read about the steps it takes to write on photos on the Note 2? Boy, I hope they didn't take a step backwards on some of these things. I was hoping to upgrade to get a few of the other features like multi-tasking, etc. but I'd hate to lose some of the super features I already have on my note phone.

You can use Sketch to write directly on pics, a little laggy but it works and you can share directly throigh evernote. Or you can use the long press with the pen while holding the button directly on a pic in the gallery and it will take a screen shot and allow you to write on it as any screen shot
