Annotations with text

Implemented
Boris Tomsic
  • Edited

Could the Annotations Tool function be expanded to also be able to type text.
- with a choice of fonts (just a few of the common ones), sizes, colours, and bold/italics options;
- which you can drag around to reposition and rotate;
- which is also visible in a Slide Show with Display on/off option

    Hi Boris, 

    Thank you for your feedback and loyalty to Capture One - we appreciate the time you’ve taken to contribute towards the development of the software.

    I have forwarded your request to expand the Annotations Tool function to be able to type text to our Product Management team. 

    Hopefully, your feedback contributes towards a future version of Capture One.

    Whilst we cannot comment on future releases, we take all suggestions on board.

    Yes, this is much needed. Along with the option to add notes to images.

    Please this is so needed. I moved to C1 recently and I'm surprised and disappointed that this simple thing was overlooked when drawing on images is possible.

    I note this has been marked "Completed", but in case someone at Capture One still picks this up, there's one more thing I didn't think to mention in my original request:
    - apart from being able to type text, please also be able to add a link to a Metadata field

    Just in the process of reverse engineering their (bonkers) storage format for annotations so I can inject text into them myself, as I'm so sick of this not being a present feature. Having checked the demo for v23 and discovering this FR is in fact 'dismissed' rather than 'complete', unless it's done and coming in 24?

    I've decoded their storage format (b64 encoded little endian XY float coordinate series) and have successfully injected my own line annotations, now I'm just working on a font library for it so that I can inject text from client emails. Can whack it on Github if I'm ever finished as a python script, though it's going to be heavily caveated with "USE AT OWN RISK" :'D

    "Completed" only means that the request has been registered as a request. Obviously a misleading word choice.
