Annotate Expert by Nikonians® allows you to tag images, place keywords and comments that are bound to certain parts of the image, to highlight parts of the image by placing "virtual crops" and to share your images with others very easily. Think about writing on a sheet of glass that is on top of your image. Your comments are stored in a non-destructible way into the header (EXIF) part of the image file in XMP format, not changing the image itself. The annotations you make in your images are only visible if you open the images in Annotate, unless you export the annotations and make them available to anyone.
You ask why you need to store comments in image header and not draw them directly on the images?
Annotate Expert by Nikonians® can be used for sharing and learning purposes where e.g. one or more photographers give critique on a photograph, including their proposed enhancements as comments directly into the image, while not changing the image contents. Annotate Expert brings you multiple ways how to share images with others, explore them under the Features tab.
As a professional photographer, photo artist or retouching specialist you need more than just a tool to archive your thousands of images.
To get the value of your work you need to find them instantly when needed, discuss all or parts of an image to improve quality, identify people and objects on the image and link them to create your personal network of images.
Finally, you may want to share your work and findings to teach others or acquire valuable critiques for yourself.
More and more field service jobs require not only textual or checklist oriented reports, but additional image documentation.
The need for properly tagged and annotated images is crucial in all professional environments. This includes environmental research, emphasizing the collection of physical, chemical and biological information; MRO for telco, aviation and manufacturing; law enforcement reporting traffic accidents and crime scenes; the utilities and energy sector documenting site inspections and field assets.
Common to all areas of application is the need to easily and safely record meta-information belonging to an image, create precise documentation including annotated images and later find the whole or part of it instantly.
(1) Double click to open or paste an image from the clipboard, (2) draw a rectangle over the relevant part of the image and (3) type in the keywords. Repeat (2) and (3) as needed. That’s all.
The XMP-embedded annotations never can get lost or disconnected from your image. Whenever an image is copied or mailed, the annotations go with it and if opened by Annotate your annotations are shown.
The automatic indexing of all tags in all images of the configured project folders ensures a fast and smart search.
Keywords are updated with your tags and are read from existing keywords upon opening an image for the first annotation.
can be built from your existing annotation tags or imported from other sources.
This software is lean and focused on professional workflows. It can also run in your system tray, waiting to be used anytime you need it to take a screenshot or crop images.
If keyword tagging and coordinate-bound comments are your priority, you will not need to use complex digital photo editing software to put non-destructible comments in your images.
Allows easy categorization of your annotations by purpose such as measurements, quality hints, people tagging.
Annotations can be highlighted according to your selected themes or ideas. Different authors of comments can be highlighted to avoid confusion.
To allow traceability each annotation is stored with its author plus timestamp in a history log.
Open as many images as you like to annotate and switch between them.
If you open an un-annotated image, Annotate Expert can transfer the annotations from a similar image as template texts.
With a link from an annotation area you can easily point to a more detailed image or other further information.
Record or attach voice comments to an image as easy as text comments - stored inside the image. (Coming soon)
