Overview - Commenting on images

There are several different ways of adding notes to an image.

Using drawing objects

The Drawing toolbar makes a variety of drawing functions (line, rectangle, ellipse, text) available to you, as well as options for color selection and line styles.

You will find more information on working with drawing objects here.

Using annotations

You can use the Annotations tool window to mark interesting positions in an image, to name them and to save them. You can give each position a text or audio annotation. In this way you will be able to jump to the position in the image that you want with one mouse click, and this will be immediately shown in the magnification you want.

Use this possibility especially when you are commenting on very large images.

You will find more information on working with positions and views here.

Entering an image comment

The Properties tool window will show you all of the available information from the document group on the active image.

You can also supplement this information with a text annotation of your own on the image. Enter your comment in the Note field.

Defining a default image comment for image acquisition

You can define a default image comment. This text will be saved along with the image as a comment. That means that if you have a comment you want to assign to numerous images, you won't need to copy this comment and enter it every time.

To define the default image comment, use the Note field in the Camera Control tool window.
