Dear Alejandra, I have previously used the app Skitch for annotations on condition reports when I have done private work. It is not a perfect tool, but rather easy to use. It allows you to draw on your photo (either a photo you take on site, or on a file you upload) and you can add text as explanation - in different colours. There are also arrows and an option for squares and circles. They have also added a button for a limited options of emojis, but the button is not "disturbing" your work-flow, I think.
You might need an Evernote-account to use Skitch, but you can create one for free. Good luck!

I am conservator at the National Museum of Antiquities in the Netherlands, and for our next touring exhibition we would like to implement the use of iPads and other digital tools for making our condition reports. I am now looking into different apps for photo editing, or better said, photo sketching and drawing. I am looking for an app that allows us to pinpoint those details in the photos that we want to double-check while doing condition check on each venue. I have tried some of them but I have the feeling that I am looking in an endless sea of possibilities and I am not finding what I want. The photo editing apps like Snapseed are not adequate since we actually need to do any editing, but rather write and draw on them. I've tried some sketching apps, but I most of them lack a more simple range of fill-in patterns, with simple geometric patters in b/w. I don't think using pink hearts and kittens' paws is the best idea... Have you found yourself in such a quest? Any positive (and negative) recommendations? It would mean a lot of help to reduce the list of apps to check out at list a bit. Thank you all in advance. ------------------------------ Alejandra Mamonde Conservator - Inorganic Materials Rijksmuseum van Oudheden Leiden ------------------------------ Reply to Sender : https://community.culturalheritage.org/eGroups/PostReply/?GroupId=481&SenderKey=c057d551-0695-46c3-a1ed-cb48c609b707&MID=9380&MDATE=756%253e465479&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e Reply to Discussion : https://community.culturalheritage.org/eGroups/PostReply/?GroupId=481&MID=9380&MDATE=756%253e465479&UserKey=d16eaa87-0f69-494b-9f2f-303dbc1222e1&sKey=fab9aa4f27a04c5d876e You are subscribed to "Global Conservation Forum (ConsDistList)" as [email protected].
