Product feature suggestion - Add graphics toolbar for PiP
[Post New]
Apologize in advance if there is a thread for new feature suggestions, or if this has already been suggested.

Would like to see a simple graphics toolbar to be able to draw simple geometric objects (squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, etc.) as a PiP object, with ability to specify fill/no-fill, line width, color, etc. Purpose being to highlight certain areas on images or videos.

Thanks

I've not seen that suggestion before, rkeahey, but it's a good one. It's not long that we've had Paint Designer included & a welcome addition it is!

It would only be a short few steps to add the feature you've mentioned.

In the meantime, you can add colour boards & mask them with shapes - then modify opacity to suit your needs.

Tony - thanks for the tip.

Where/how do you add the border? I think I've figured out everything else in your suggestion.

Hey Tony - figured out how to set the border... right in front of me.

This solutions works pretty well for what I want to accomplish. Hopefully CL will take me up on my suggestion and add a separate toolbar for it.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Superfluous post below...

No probs Robert -

1. Select the image, clip or clour board
2. Click modify > PiP Designer
3. Add Border (which takes the shape of the applied mask)
4. Format



Cheers - Tony
