danowood 2,167 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 How does one edit a pic so that they can draw on it before submission. I see where some draw red lines or circles around schematics or pictures of circuit boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahash5150 9,941 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 @danowood We don't have picture editing to that point on the posting editor. I can look into a plugin for it though. On the other hand, I use the Windows Snippet Tool to write in little lines and stuff. It's easy to use because after you take a snippet and edit it, all you have to do is hit 'CTR + V' in the posting window and the site will automatically upload it for you. I'm going to move this in the Site Support section. Thanks Dano. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodH 4,820 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Download GIMP2. It's free and has much of the editing capabilities of Photoshop. clean GIMP2 download 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismiller55 4,717 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I use Paint.net. Another free Photoshop alternative. You can draw lines with arrowheads. Easy to add text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very nice program that's not too hard to use; been using it for a least 15 years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compwaco 1,129 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I use LunaPic at https://www199.lunapic.com/editor/ It is free and does a whole lot of stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahash5150 9,941 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I'm not a fan of the plug-ins I've found. They are way too much for what we need - so I'll wait for something that is simpler to come along before modifying the site. Thank you for all the suggestions! I really like that LunaPic - I'm going to make a custom block for it and add it to the main page. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahash5150 9,941 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Okay, I've added a LunaPic link to the 'Insert Other Media' options: No need to remember the link or bookmark it, just get to the site direct from here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loner_t 2,568 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 On a Mac, if you use Applications -> Preview -> Tools -> Annotate, you can add text, speech bubbles, arrows, rectangles, etc., on any document that Preview supports. This includes PNG, TIFF, JPG (and it's variants), PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahash5150 9,941 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Go to the HELP menu on the LunaPic Site and it has some tutorials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodH 4,820 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Well, there's this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nahash5150 9,941 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 If you use LunaPic, you would be downloading your edited image back your PC, and then upload it here - so no hotlinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
