Freeware Tools: iPhotoDraw 2.0

With iPhotoDraw, you can add description text, callout boxes (ballons), dimensions, detailed images, and other annotation objects to pictures. We don't mess up the original pictures with the annotation. Instead, the annotation is stored in a separated file and the original picture file is intact. The program saves all your annotations to an XML file and overlays them onto the image without actually changing your original. To permanently save the annotations, you can choose the "Export" option to create a new, annotated image file - leaving your original unchanged.

iPhotoDraw is a compact software application whose purpose is to help you add annotations on images using photo or text watermarks, lines, or other shapes.

It boasts a clean and intuitive layout that allows you to upload files into the working environment using the built-in browse function or “drag and drop” operations.

The tool works with the following file formats: BMP, PNG, JPG, TIFF, or GIF file format.

iPhotoDraw gives you the possibility to insert text messages that can be moved to any area of the workspace by simply dragging and dropping them, and customized in terms of font, size, color, opacity, and alignment.

What’s more, you can use the freehand tool for drawing your own designs, insert lines, polygons, rectangles, ovals, triangles, and right arrows, attach photos, as well as pixelate the selected area.

The utility lets you zoom in or out, switch to a full screen mode for a better focus on your work, choose the line color, type, and opacity, bring objects to the front or send them to the back, fill in objects with different colors and adjust their transparency, rotate or flip the photos, and invert the colors.

Last but not least, you can print or save the edited pictures to JPG, PNG, or GIF file format, copy the image to the clipboard for pasting it into other third-party tools, set the canvas size, group objects, show or hide the grid, undo or redo your actions, and perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste).

All in all, iPhotoDraw offers a handy set of editing tools for helping you insert annotations in your images.
