Add lasso tool when annotating an image

[carlosgm 77]

Please add the lasso tool to select multiple objects when annotating an image.

 

The tool is very useful when we have multiple objects that form a figure and we want to move it within the same image.

 

In Microsoft Whiteboard it is extremely easy to move multiple objects within the same image (see video attachment):

You may have noticed that the annotation tools are rather clumsy. This is why they are pretty aged, probably more than 10 years old, taken from another app called Skitch. I doubt that there will be any advanced tools like a lasso until they move the annotation toolbox to a modern level of code.

Could be tomorrow, could be in a year, could be never. Who knows ?!

I know it's not the same, but you can select multiple objects by pressing the "Shift" key when clicking with the mouse.

Believe me, it is hell to use shift when you have many small objects and they are close to each other.

I hope it's soon because I love having the ability to write down images in my notes.

In favor of evernote, I have to say that even though the tool for annotating images has a somewhat aged, it is still wonderful to work with, it just needs "some tweaking" but for my workflow it works great.
