Annotate Right in Your Shots – With picdrop’s Scribbles!

Gathering feedback from your photography clients has never been easier with Scribbles!
Text reads “Scribbles: Annotations right in your shots” next to a white stylus, scribble marks, and abstract shapes on a light background.

Scribbles photo annotation feature enables anyone to draw directly on images and provide written feedback. This way, you no longer have to send emails, create PDF files, or use different photography software than your photo sharing app to communicate with your clients or photo editors.

We are calling this new feature “Scribbles” because it accurately describes its purpose. With Scribbles, you and your clients can now easily draw on the photos to mark specific areas for improvement. Additionally, you have the option to add spot markers to highlight individual spots.

Why Scribbles is Exactly What Pro Photographers Need

Scribbles are perfect for receiving detailed feedback from your clients regarding specific areas of your photos. Is there a wrinkle that needs some Photoshop attention? Or perhaps a spot on a shirt that your client wants removed? With just one click, you can easily address these requests and make your photography clients happy!

And since you don’t exchange emails anymore to communicate with your clients,

This makes the photo post-production process a breeze and simple. You no longer exchange emails, phone calls, or notes in PDFs. With picdrop’s Scribbles, you can easily upload the photos, send the link to your clients or editor, and wait for their feedback directly on the photos. It’s that easy!

How to Use picdrop’s Scribbles Photo Annotation

To start scribbling on an image, you or your clients simply need to open the photo and click on the “Scribble” button located below the photo. (Please ensure that the “Scribble” feature is activated in that gallery’s settings beforehand.)

Once you activate the scribble mode, you can annotate in two ways:

Dots

Click anywhere and you create a spot mark.
Or two. Or many.

Lines

Press and hold the mouse button, and then start moving the mouse. Now you draw a line.

You can leave as many annotations as needed and write the written comments. Once you’re finished giving feedback on the photo, click the “Comment and Save” button (located in the lower right corner) to save it.

Repeat the process if you want to leave more comments on other photos in this photo gallery. Once you’re done, click on the “Scribble” button again to exit the photo annotation mode.

Receive Real-Time Photo Feedback

The comments and annotations made with Scribbles will go live instantly. This means that, similar to other great picdrop features like color markings and comments, Scribbles will appear on the screen of any visitor to your photo gallery the second you save them. Collaborating on a photography project has never been easier.

Review the Photo Annotations

With every scribble and spot marker, your clients can leave comments directly connected to the annotations on the photos. You can differentiate between a normal comment and one connected with a Scribble through the little scribble icon next to it. Simply place your mouse over a comment to highlight the corresponding scribbles.

By the way, when you upload a newly edited photo to replace the one that you or your clients have annotated, the scribbles will also be shown on the updated photo. To delete the annotations, simply press the delete icon next to the associated comment.
