Description Dotan Cohen 2011-04-27 11:11:30 UTC 
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

Please add a feature for adding text overlay annotations to photographs. Thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Dotan Cohen 2011-04-27 11:13:11 UTC 
In addition to being useful for some workflows (such as annotating astronomy images), this feature would increase user interaction with the application, making Digikam more fun to use.

What do you mean by "text overlay annotations" exactly ?

Comments ? Tags ? Captions & Tags side bar is not enough (and already very powerfull)

Looking to Okular's "Review" feature for inspiration, one could overlay these objects  over the image:
1) Text note, perhaps optionally styled as a comic-book "word bubble".
2) Fixed geometric shape (square, ellipse)
3) Straight line
4) Arrow

These objects would not be part of the jpg/png encoded image, but rather overlayed and able to be displayed/hidden.

I personally would use them to annotate important details in astronomy and engineering photos, but I could image the wife using it to add funny "quotes" to people in photos.

I personally would like to annotate some accident photos so the viewer (insurance company et al.) can more readily tell what they are looking at.  :(
