I recently updated to Ventura and I lost a feature I didn't realize I depend so much on. Previously when I took a screen shot (typically using ⇧ Shift ⌘ Command 4 ), when I clicked the floating thumbnail it would open the Preview but already in the markup editor. Unfortunately, I am now forced to click the markdown icon every single time which is frustrating; nearly every time I take a screenshot I intend to add some type of annotation. Is there a way to restore this or change the settings? ***Note:** I have noticed that my phone opens in markup each time but I would prefer to use my current device to make the annotations*

When I take a screenshot in macOS Mojave, I get a handy screen with Markup tools to edit the screenshot. But I’ve never been able to get the “highlight” feature to work. I want to highlight text on a page in yellow, similar to a highlighter pen. It looks like it should do it, but the highlighter tool is always disabled. Nothing I do seems to enable it. Does this tool work? How can I use it?

macOS: 13.0 (22A380) A lot of communicating with my clients depends on annotated screenshots I send them via Email. My workflow goes like this: 1. I press command+alt+shift+4, then I press space and click the window that I want to take a screenshot of. This saves a screenshot of the selected window in my clipboard. 2. I open Mail, create a new message and paste the screenshot I just took 3. I add annotations to the screenshot, like circles around important parts in the screenshots 4. I send the message to my clients. Today I learned these annotations don't make it to my clients if I have selected any other "Image Size" rather than "Actual Size". The annotations also don't show up in my outbox. **Will send the image with annotations:** **Will send the image without annotations:** Does anyone else have this problem and maybe even a solution? ...I just found out that if I don't use the clipboard but instead save the screenshots to disk first, it's working fine.

I use the ‘markup’ extension in iOS Photos to ‘black out’ sensitive information in screenshots, occasionally. Unfortunately, this leaves the “revert” button, meaning that said sensitive information is sitting archived in my iCloud Photos indefinitely. I've got the messy solution of texting myself the modified image, deleting the original, deleting it *again* from Recently Deleted Photos, and then re-saving it from the text-message I sent myself … but that's no fun. What's the quickest way to turn a modified photo into a flattened copy of itself?

When I capture a screenshot with Cmd + Shift + 5, I can edit the image within Apple's Markup editor, like so:  Is there a way to copy that image (which may have been edited) without saving it? I just need to be able to copy it within that interface, so I can delete it clicking in the trash icon in the upper-right corner.

trying to enable it so that when i press t inside a screenshot markup, the text button is clicked here's my working script: tell application "System Events" to click button 2 of window "Screen Shot" of process "screencaptureui" just need to activate the shortcut at the right time, and deactivate it while typing inside the textbox obviously..

If someone sends me an email containing a PDF attachment (or a JPG, or another image format...) I know that, on an iPad, I can markup the attachment and then send the marked-up document in a reply to the sender. But what if the email contains *two* PDFs? Is there a way to mark up the first, return to the original email, mark up the second, then send a reply containing both marked-up documents?

When you take a screenshot by pressing Command + Shift + 4, a preview pops up on bottom right. If you click it a program opens up, which I believe is called markup editor. Now in this program you can do most things. However, I've not been able to find a way to resize the screenshot. How do I find an easy way to resize the screenshot? I am running macOS Catalina.

I take a screenshot using shift+Command+4 and right click on it and choose the option "Markup" and then draw a rectangle box but how do I make it transparent so that content underneath is visible? Here is the screenshot showing what I am taking about: I tried several options but couldn't find a way to make these boxes transparent.Can someone help me on this?

The "marker" markup tool in iOS 11 photo editor is translucent. Is it possible to make it opaque?

Is there a way to use the mark up tool in notes? Or something that works like that would? I want to be able to put shapes with text on top of copy pasted images. So I want to use a shape, be able to type text on the shape then put it on top of a image.

I'm looking for a screenshot markup/annotation tool that attaches text to the origin of an arrow. Screenshot markup/annotation apps usually allow you to add arrows that point to parts of the shot. They also allow you to add text, commonly to explain the problem. Commonly for me I add an arrow that points to an issue then add some text at the arrow's origin. Often I end up needing to move the text around or because there's not enough room, it ends up on an unreadable background color, etc. When I do so, though, the arrow origin doesn't stick to the text so I'm constantly moving the text, then moving the arrow, then moving the text, then moving the arrow, etc. Do you know of any tools that allow the text box to "stick" to the arrow's origin so I can more easily make changes this way? _(It might sound a bit of a nitpick but when I'm marking things up I can easily add 100 or more such annotations in a few-hour session.)_ --- Edited to add: I realize that I might not have been clear enough. Here's an example using the app Napkin. It's the perfect app for this but it has other issues that make it not usable for me (and hasn't been updated in years):
