Introduction

For example, if you plan to request crease reduction via a markup, your selected specification must include a package that supports crease reduction.

Key features

The extension provides a specialized canvas toolbar to annotate your images, manage your edits, and navigate the view.

1. 🖐️ Select / Hand: Click a markup to resize it, or delete it using the Backspace key.

2. ✏️ Pencil (Color-Coded): Draw freehand to highlight specific areas. Choosing a color instantly generates a predefined comment box:
   🔴 Red = Remove
   🟠 Orange = Smooth
   🟡 Yellow = Clean
   🟢 Green = Straighten
   🔵 Blue = Reduce
   🟣 Purple = Shape
   ⚫ Black = Restore
   
   Custom Exceptions: If your request isn't covered by the predefined list, simply pick a color to leave your own custom instructions.
   + Professional Plan: Includes 1 additional custom color.
   + Enterprise Plan: Includes 3 additional custom colors and a general comment textbox.
    

3. 📏 Line: Draw straight lines to easily point out alignments.

4. 🤝 Drag: Pan across zoomed-in sections of the image.

5. 🔍 Zoom In/Out: Magnify specific areas for pixel-perfect precision.

6. ↩️ Undo / Redo & Controls: Easily revert steps, clear markings or toggle visibility.

Main Use Cases

1. Pre-Production Instructions (Before Production)

Apply color-coded markups and comments right after uploading your images to communicate specialized, template-eligible instruction before production begins.

2. Rejection Feedback (After Production)

Use the exact same tool to easily point out and explain required changes when rejecting an image.

Step-by-step Guide

1. Click on an image in your order and press the Spacebar to open the Advanced Image Viewer (AIV).

2. Click the Comment button in the Quality section on the right

3. Select a tool and a predefined color from the toolbar, then start annotating the image.

4. (Optional) Add overall notes in the General Comments box.

5. Click Save to apply your markups.

Notes

• Markups communicate your intent to the production team but depend on the image specification being set up to fulfill the request.
• Color Match and Color Change are handled separately in Close Up and are not part of Markups.
