Adding Annotations to Images & Movies

Adding Annotations to Images or Movies

Using annotations you can highlight specific regions, add metadata or specific measurement information to images and movies. You can use the annotations within several workflows and functionality:

For your own information, you can display metadata within images and movies.
When working with Mean ROI view, you use the annotation functions to draw regions into the image.
When analyzing images manually, you can record measurement results in the image.
When exporting images or movies, you can add annotations that are visible in the export format of your images and movies.

The annotation tools are accessed via the Graphics tab or the Graphics Menu.

You have acquired or loaded an image or a movie.

In the Center Screen Area select the Graphics tab.
Select an annotation or a measurement and add it to the image.

Remove Annotations

Select the annotation in the image or in the Annotations/Measurements table, and press the Del key. Alternatively, right-click the annotation and select Delete.

Additionally, the annotations can be edited, rearranged, and formatted. For more information, see Editing Annotations in Images or Movies.
