Digi-Annotator makes sending or storing special photos a little more fun, and maybe much easier. You can put one or more text-box captions, and perform simple maintenance and resizing before you email or store your pictures. |
I'm still not sure whether Digi-Annotator falls into the category of useful software for work, or fun software for work and play. So for now, let's say it falls halfway in between.
The small (364KB download), standalone (no installation; just click and run) program helps you do very basic photo editing, and is arguably the world's easiest software to resize and email your photos.
The unique part of Digi-Annotator is that you can label your photo with useful or even attractive captions to remind yourself or let your loved ones know about the picture or what you think about it all in one.
You "attach" the labels to the photos, so to speak, but bear in mind that they are permanent. You or the recipient of the photo can't lift them off, to see what's underneath. Of course on some emailed photos that may be the point.
Everything about the text box (as show in the screen shot) can be customised. Write what you want, at any reasonable length. Fix the font and background size and colour, and you can move the text box around (or delete it) while you are working on it. You can add a frame to the photo and to each caption, in a variety of styles. Everything is handled from a menu which appears with a right click. If you want to email the photo, simply resize the Digi-Annotator program to the size you want for your picture; resizing just got very, very simple. The photo editing tools on the software are extremely basic but useful: Sharpen, rotate, crop and the like.
Digi-Annotator is the work of the UK's Brian Shepherd, but it has been difficult recently to access programs at his web site, chesterway.co.uk. The program is available at many other sites, luckily for us; I found it at http://www.snapfiles.com.
