How to Annotate Photos on a Mac

this is Darius from the rabbit.com and in this video I'm going to show you how you can annotate a photo in the preview app on a Mac here I have a photo of the Santa Monica pier and let's suppose I want to note the meeting location for a group this is how I would do that in the preview app click this icon of a pencil inside of a circle and here you will get a list of things that you can add to the photo one thing I would want to add is some text so if I want to add some text you click this box with the letter A inside of it and notice that the text box will appear in the middle of the photo now I had already been playing around with this so it's already yellow but when I first started working with this this was very small text in Black so it might be hard to see depending on the photo that you're using but I'm going to type we are meeting here then I'm going to move that to the location near where I'm going to have the group meet by clicking and dragging the box and if you want to change the font highlight the text then click this right here which is the font menu and then you can change the font you can also change the color you can make it bold and all of those things so now that I have the text that I want there I might want to add an arrow to show the specific spot where we're meeting go over here on the left to this menu where you have two shapes and this is where you can add various shapes so I'm going to click this arrow and when I click that Arrow this red arrow will appear in the middle of the screen again depending on what you were doing before this it might appear smaller it might be a different color so I want to drag this arrow to the right side of the photo so I'm just going to click on the picture then drag it over and then rotate the photo so I'm going to click this blue arrow and move it 90° so that it's facing the direction where I wanted and let's suppose I want my group to meet right here so just drag again the blue circle until the shape is the size that you wanted then if you want to change the color of the shape all you have to do is click this box right here that's red because the shape is already red then change the color if I want it to be yellow I will click yellow so this video shows you how to do some annotations in a photo using Apple's builtin preview app that comes with your Mac if you found this video helpful please click that like button and subscribe to this channel to view more helpful videos in the future also please be sure to visit my website at TH rabbit.com
