Text Annotation

Text Annotation

The new Text tool lets you add text directly to the image. This is useful for shorter comments that you want to draw attention to. You can still use the Note tool for longer comments or for providing the opportunity for response. To add text, select the “T” icon in the Tool palette (or use the T shortcut), click the mouse on the image where you want to begin your text and type your text. You can use the enter/return key to add multiple lines. The text takes the color, opacity and size parameters from the Tool palette. And, like in the note and chat messages, phrases that look like web addresses are automatically converted to web links.

Color Picker and Custom Color Selection

Now you can choose a specific color from the image you are reviewing to make your annotations. To select a color click on the eyedropper icon in the Tool palette and drag your mouse over the image. Once you find the desired color, click the mouse to add it to your palette. You can also set a specific color by expanding the color palette (click “color”) and typing a hexadecimal color number in the input field provided.

    Hello Stuart,

    Those two improvements are really great.

    I’ve been waiting for specific color selection from the day I tried Cozimo for the first time.

    Your solution is good for webdesigner or graphic artists fluent with hexadecimal number but what about final clients? Most don’t even know what an hexadecimal number is.

    If a client wants a specific color which is not in the image, he has still no way to show exactly what he wants.

    Hi Laurent,

    We have just added a HEX/RGB toggle button to the Color Panel to enter and read color values in either HEX or RGB modes. Let us know if you need any other color mode or if there’s anything else we can do to help you work better with colors.

    Thanks for your feedback!
