Evidence? Like actual evidence to be used in a court of law?

Sorry -_- wrong translation. "highlight".

I get it now, thanks.

What would be the advantage of this style of annotation over something else like drawing a circle or arrow, or using the highlighter marker tool? What's your use case for this?

    It was may fault for using the wrong word :) Thanks to you.

    I'll take some of my uses as an example. I often send screenshots of webpages
    to my children. Colorful webpages. To highlight the parts I want them to put their
    attention on, I use the rectangle tool. Sometimes with text. Almost always in red :)
    However, depending on the screenshot, I sometimes find myself with a low visibility
    highlight making it almost blend in the colorful page.

    Having a tool to make the screenshot into grayscale would put more highlight on
    the parts I want them to notice. Old photograph-style :) (no, sepia is not needed ;) )

Interesting idea, and thanks for clarifying. I'll let Noah decide.

In the absence of such a decision, I'm going to say no on this. It's an interesting idea but pretty far outside of the expected use case for a quick annotation system. A real image editor might be a better option here.
