Annotate a photo with icons and custom balloons

Written by on December 4, 2012

Have you ever needed to point out something important to a client with a photo in the report? WinTOTAL and TOTAL make it remarkably easy to add icons or balloons to a photo.

Double-click on any photo to open the Image Optimizer. In WinTOTAL, go to the Annotate tab, and choose your option from the pull-down. Here are some pointers:

  • To add an icon, click the icon you want to use, then click on the photo where you want to place it.
  • To add a custom balloon with text, choose your balloon and font colors, then click on the photo to place the balloon.
  • Double-click a balloon to add your custom text, then click and drag the balloon and pointer into place.

Click Finish when you’re done.

That’s it! You’ve just added a custom balloon to your photo. Try this out in your next report, and if you don’t have WinTOTAL or TOTAL yet, click here for a no-strings trial.
