Editing an Image:
 

Open an existing file. For editing, you will need the Tools panel (usually located on left-hand side of your screen). The individual buttons work similarly to those in Photoshop. Using them, you can change the color of an object, draw a line, an arrow, a geometric shape, you can erase a segment, cut it, highlight it or underline it. Using this panel, you can also add text to your image, add a callout or a stamp (e.g. a highlighted circle, a lightbulb, a paper clip, etc.)
