Accessing Markup Tools
To begin, navigate to the home screen and open the Photos app. Select the photo you wish to edit and tap the "Edit" button. Then, tap the markup icon located at the top right of the screen. Note that using markup will turn off the Live Photo feature.
Using Drawing Instruments
The markup interface presents a bar at the bottom with various tools: a pencil, a highlighter, an eraser, shapes, and a ruler. You can select different colors for your drawings using the color palette or the spectrum tool. For the pencil tool, you can adjust the size and transparency of the stroke. The back key allows you to undo any actions.
Highlighting and Textures
The highlighter tool also allows for adjustments in transparency and texture. You can modify the size and opacity to achieve different highlighting effects, from solid colors to more transparent marks.
Adding Shapes and Text
By tapping the plus button, you can add shapes like squares, circles, and arrows to your photo. These shapes can be resized and customized with different border widths and fill options. Additionally, you can insert text, which is useful for adding descriptions or signatures.
Magnifier Tool
The magnifier tool allows you to zoom in on specific areas of the photo. This can be useful for highlighting details or drawing attention to particular elements within the image.
Saving Changes
Once you have finished using the markup tools, tap the "Done" button. Then tap the "Done" button at the bottom to save the changes you've made to the photo.
