I have tried PS5 and Coral. they are way advanced for what I need. I am currently using paint.net.it works great but it take a while when I add text to one hundred pictured  pictures it takes forever to save them all. For the most part I am only looking to add text to a picture for insurance work. Any suggestions?

You don't mention what platform you are using, the Mac has a built in software called Preview, If you are using a PC then there may be something which does the job I don't know.

A screenshot of a preview image. You can use any colour for the annotations.

Try FastStone Image Viewer it is free and works on Windows.

FastStone is my favorite viewer. It allows a lot of basic corrections like curves and levels and a handy magnifier that is approximately a 100% crop. For an exact 100% crop, you just press "1".

Does it feature text and simple graphics like arrows and rectangles?

Yes there is text, a straight line with arrow, a freehand pencil, etc. Worth downloading and trying out as it is free and doesn't take a lot ov overhead.

I have suggested several times to the developer of FastStone that a compile for Mac would easily double his user base but he isnt interested.

Open the program and add open a jepg. in browser view. Go to EDIT > Draw or just press D on your keyboard and a screen with your pix and a sidebar on the left with the drawing tools. There is help by pressing F1.

Do you really need it any more ... LYN seems just as good to me...

Not really Tom. 
Lyn is almost as good and since I have a paid up copy of it then not having a Mac version of FastStone is no big deal to me as if I need more I use Photoshop.


Current theme is Blue
