1 \u2013 activating Scribbles & starting Scribble Mode<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Activate Scribbles in the gallery settings under Collaboration Mode \u2794 Comments \u2794 Image annotations. Back in the gallery, click on an image to open the large single image view.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below the image you will find the Scribble button<\/strong> to activate Scribble Mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also press X on your keyboard to start Scribble Mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blue frame<\/strong> around the images indicates that Scribble Mode is activated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2 \u2013 creating Scribbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now click with your mouse<\/strong> on a spot in the image to create a small<\/strong> circular shape<\/strong> in the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or hold down the left mouse button and freely draw any shape<\/strong> in the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can undo<\/strong> the last steps of your Scribble by using the Undo button at the bottom left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or you can use the backspace key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3 \u2013 Saving Scribbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Click on the Comment and Save<\/strong> button at the bottom right to save your Scribble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You still need to enter a name and a comment and confirm the whole thing with Save Scribble<\/strong> at the bottom right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tada: The Scribble is saved on the image and visible to all visitors to the gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find the comment on the scribble in the comment bar on the left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4 \u2013 working with Scribbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you move the mouse over the scribble in the image, the corresponding comment will be highlighted<\/strong>. And of course it works the other way around too: if you move the mouse over a comment that belongs to a scribble, the scribble in the image will be highlighted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are bothered by the scribbles in the image, for example because they are covering important areas, you can show or hide<\/strong> them by clicking the button at the top left of the comment column. Don’t worry, the scribbles will not be deleted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to delete<\/strong> scribbles, you can do so using the trash can icon next to the scribble comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"template":"","faq-category":[29],"class_list":["post-578","faq","type-faq","status-publish","hentry","faq-category-using-picdrop"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq\/578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/faq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"faq-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.picdrop.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/faq-category?post=578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
