谈及图像处理和编辑，有很多工具可用。然而，像 GIMP 这样的工具不一定能解决所有问题。


GIMP 确实为初学者和高级用户提供了大量的功能，但要学习一些东西并对图像进行视觉增强功能的应用可能很费时。


Annotator 是一个令人印象深刻的开源工具，可以让你能轻松完成很多事情。

### 在 Linux 中安装 Annotator


Annotator 通常可在 elementaryOS 的应用中心找到。但幸运的是，它是一个 Flatpak 包，所以你可以在任何 Linux 发行版上安装它。


你所需要做的就是前往应用中心商店的链接，然后使用软件安装程序下载/打开 **Flatpak ref** 文件。如果你需要帮助，我们的 [Flatpak 指南](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/) 中有更多相关信息。

要从源代码构建或探索更多关于它的信息，你可以查看它的 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/phase1geo/Annotator)。


### 关于使用 Annotator 的想法


我发现它对我的工作很有用，因为我们每天都需要处理各种截图。而且，描述性越详细，图片就越能让我们的读者理解。


通常情况下，我使用 Flameshot 作为我的截图工具，并通过它添加可用的注解。还有其他 [可用于 Linux 的截图工具](https://itsfoss.com/take-screenshot-linux/)，但我更喜欢 Flameshot 的快速注解功能。


然而，你不能使用 Flameshot 或其他任何截图工具来为现有的图片添加注解。


因此，Annotator 在编辑现有的截图或任何其他所需的图像时就显得非常方便。


在我短暂的使用过程中，它的所有功能都运行良好，不过我希望可以编辑和调整文字的大小，使之更加直观。


如果你需要为系统上的图像添加高亮/注解，我建议你试一试。请在下面的评论中告诉我你的想法。

**Brief:***An exciting and useful annotation tool with additional features for Linux systems.*

When it comes to image manipulation and editing, there are many tools available. However, options like GIMP are not necessarily the solution to everything.

Yes, GIMP offers plenty of features for beginners and advanced users, but it could be time-consuming to learn something and apply visual enhancements to any image you want.

Annotator is an impressive open-source tool that lets you do a lot of things in a couple of clicks.

## Annotator: Open-Source Image Annotation Tool

Annotator lets you quickly add shapes, texts, and other visual elements. This is useful for a variety of use-cases.

The tool is easy to use and offers a simple user interface. And, you also get a variety of features to enhance the images you want.

## Installing Annotator in Linux

Primarily, Annotator is available on AppCenter for elementaryOS. But, fortunately, it is a Flatpak package, so that you can install it on any Linux distribution.

All you need to do is head to the AppCenter store’s link and then download/open the **Flatpak ref** file using the software installer. We have more information on this in our [Flatpak guide](https://itsfoss.com/flatpak-guide/), if you need help.

To build from the source or explore more about it, you can check out its [GitHub page](https://github.com/phase1geo/Annotator).

## Thoughts on Using Annotator

I find it useful for my work, considering we need to deal with various screenshots every day. And, the more descriptive, the better the images for our readers to understand.

Usually, I use Flameshot as my screenshot tool and add annotations available through it. There are other [screenshot tools available for Linux](https://itsfoss.com/take-screenshot-linux/), but I prefer Flameshot for its quick annotation features.

However, you cannot use Flameshot to add annotations to existing images.

Hence, Annotator came in handy to edit existing screenshots or any other images needed.

All of its features worked well in my brief usage, but I’d want to edit and re-size the text to be more intuitive. Other than that, I have no complaints.

I’d recommend you give this a try if you need to add highlights/annotations to the images on your system. Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below.
