Add enhanced photo annotation and markup capabilities
Jason Parisi
It would be helpful for users to be able to add information directly to a photo after it is captured or uploaded, including:
- Photo captions or descriptions
- Directional arrows
- Text labels/callouts
- Circles, boxes, or other shapes to identify specific features
- Highlighting or marking areas of concern
- Direction/orientation indicators, such as north arrows or direction of travel
- Basic drawing/markup tools
- The ability to edit or remove annotations before the record is submitted
- Preservation of the original photo along with the annotated version, if possible

Ideally, what would be easiest for the field data collector themselves, is to have a similar set up as Solocator, where direction, lat/long, time stamp etc is auto populated while taking photos. Field employees don’t usually have the time to make mark ups for each photo they take. In editing the apps, being able to choose what each photo field auto populates on the photo would be excellent too.

Hi Jason Parisi! Thanks for the feedback. While we don't have all of these items, we do offer photo markup that includes a pen, arrows, shapes, and text boxes. It needs to be enabled for the photo field on the web. Here is the related help article: https://help.fulcrumapp.com/en/articles/2542627-what-are-photo-markups
Let me know what you think.
