Great explanations and suggestions Gary! It's amazing how Apple has been able to integrate tools like markup so seamlessly across devices. But it we really need and appreciate you and these tutorials to actually show the rest of us how to use them! 👍
I love using the markup tool. When I need heavy editing on my architect pictures I pay an outside editor, so I send them bunch of RAW images of the same subject, but the difference is the time of the day the images were taking, so I give them instructions of what I want remove, add or change by pointing out and writing on it. I hope this makes sense
Thanks for the great tips. I have been using SnagIt for years and the markup tools in that app are great too. Plus there are many additional tools like Edge Effects, Stamps. Number Steps and Blur. But for free, the Markup tools in macOS are pretty good.
Thank you very much, Gary for this and all of your other regular in-depth presentation(s). I have just switched from Windows to Mac and I continue to deal with the associated challenges. Having transferred all of my (thousands) of photographs from my PC to the Mac 'Photos' apps, I am no longer able to sort these jpegs by the names that I had given them in the Windows environment. Also and whilst I am able to add/amend 'locations' and 'dates', I do not know what to best enter under the 'Title' and the 'Caption' headings to allow my photos to be sorted in a meaningful way. I would be grateful if you would consider producing a video on these topics and maybe also on what 'delete', 'hide 1 photo' and 'cut' really means in the Mac Photos app. All more complex than in the Windows environment. Thanks again.
Hi Gary, I love your tips. So well explained! Thank you so much. Can I ask you something about Markup? Is there a way to outline the text? Cheers, Carol.
Can you explain what you mean by outline? Do you mean add annotated text in "outline" style (hollow letters with a border), or do you mean something else like highlighting? There is an easy way to highlight if you look at the tools in the toolbar.
@@macmost Hi Gary, thanks for your reply. I mean, to put an outline around letters, and do the creative things you can do with letters that you can do with the editing tools in Pages. When you say you can highlight text, do you mean add a shadow (the last option in shape style)? I can't see anything else.
@@carolglover4 So with markup text all you can do is bold, italic and underline. Maybe if I understood what you were trying to accomplish I could help. Markup is really mean for annotating things. If you want to design something of your own, you should do it in an app like Pages.
I have a question: If i use the rectangle or circle shape, we can only use one colour as provided. Can we use gradient colour on the rectangle or circle shape on iPhone?
@@macmost Thank you. I used typewritten (and colored) numbers in bubbles. I tried stickies, but the only assortment shown was dull… Thank you!!! Charts offer clarity, and I’d wanted to post on X as simply as I could the solution I found to eliminating those nuisance purple stars. Thanks to you expanding my horizons on Mark Up, now I no longer need the Snap MarkUp app that once was cool, but now is cumbersome! Bless you! Thank you!
Thanks for this great tutorial! I tried to follow you, but my Shapes feature gives me the dotted border but not the selected shape. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
Hi Gary! Can I place a photo - on a photo on Mac, using Preview or Markup? I have a old map photo and want to place a new map image on top of it (to show the changes over time). Is there a way to do this using opacity? I bought Photoshop but it was way too difficult to learn. So I’m trying to find an easier method (or app). Thanks for the videos! They sure help!
Not in Preview, no. Any image editing app can do it. Photoshop of course, but Pixelmator, Acorn, etc. Just put the other image in a layer on top and set the opacity of that layer to some %.
@@macmost amazing! Thank you so very kindly sir! I’ll download Pixalmator today. I’ve read through some of your comments, and it’s all true. You have the most concise, well articulated, straight to the point videos I’ve seen on RUclips. Your help is invaluable! Thanks again!
I've noticed that now in Ventura Photos crop function I no longer have the rotate capability on the right hand side of the photo but have Straighten, Vertical and Horizontal top right which are useful but rather quirky. I miss the old rotate. Of course, I can use Gimp or other apps to free rotate but it's a pain.
@@macmost yes, but I find it's a lot more quirky, it tends to zoom in and revert is the only way to go back. Same with Vertical and Horizontal, really annoying. I'm probably missing something :)
No. The Apple Pencil is a special precision device that connects to special hardware on the iPad. You can get a cheap "stylus" for the iPhone (just acts like your finger) if you like. But it won't be nearly as precise as an Apple Pencil.
Great video! Thank you. Very helpful hints for the many features for editing photos on your iPad, iPhone or Mac. But can you tell me WHY Apple refuses to add a ‘partial background remover or eraser’ to the editing tools? In order to do that one must purchase a photo editing app and I refuse to pay another cent after spending thousands already on Apple products. It can’t be that difficult to add this feature. Come on, Apple…enough already!
I don't think Windows has this either. It is a pretty advanced feature. You asked "why" and as a software developer myself, I can tell you that there are always new features to add. You have to draw the line somewhere. Getting third-party apps to do the things you need is part of using any computer and always has been. You'll get more value from your Mac if you get the apps you need to get your work done.
How do you bring layers to front and back!!!! It is infuriating when you go to put text on too of a shape and it’s behind the shape!!!!! Googled it and there seems to be no answer!
I always appreciate your videos but found this one a bit fast. I wanted to send a markup tutorial to name people in photographs but I don't think my friend will be able to follow this. I will however and will go bck and review it later. Thank you.
@@macmost Thanks for your answer, I know it’s no big deal but I’ve been using an iPhone for four years. I just got a Mac and it took me two days and asking somebody where the enter key was. I am not sure where the mic is to do dictation on it but I’m trying to figure out how to draw one line and then add to that line without moving that line.
Its amazing the number of things hidden in Mac that we would not know about if not for you. Thanks.'

Very useful tutorial on using Markup! Your videos frequently surprise me at all the great functionality built into the OS. 👍🏻

Nice to see you on the London Eye Gary!
Another great video! All these years of being an Apple user, I can't believe I hadn't noticed mark up tools on photos! Thanks...
A very useful video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️
Gary; never wrote before but you're a rock star. Thanks for all the great content.
Thanks!
Thanks bunches
Amazing, I had no idea about all these options!
Great video Gary. Thank you.
I had no idea colour tint could be done like that! Thank you
This was a fantastic tutorial!
bonjour Gary, as always excellent ... thanks to you ...
Clever stuff. Thank you

Can I rotate a text box or a drawn shape (square) without a track pad?
Can you do much of the same Markups on an iPad Pro. Haven’t looked for it before.
I have a question:
If i use the rectangle or circle shape, we can only use one colour as provided. Can we use gradient colour on the rectangle or circle shape on iPhone?
There's no option to use a gradient. You'll have to switch to a full image editing app for something like that.
Is it possible to open an attachment from iMac's ical on the Apple Watch?
Is there a way to move the loupe but still focus on a specific part of the foto to point at it? Thanks for the videos.
No, it focuses on what it is over.
Can you add numbers, as in pointing out at highlighted areas, a #1, #2, #3, etc. (or A, B, C) series of steps?
Sure. Use the "talk bubble" shape to do that easily, but you can also just add numbers and arrows. Try it and see.
@@macmost Thank you. I used typewritten (and colored) numbers in bubbles. I tried stickies, but the only assortment shown was dull…

Not sure. Start over and try that part again.

How do you reduce the size of a photo below 2mb, to use it as a thumbprint photo on a YT video?
I've noticed that now in Ventura Photos crop function I no longer have the rotate capability on the right hand side of the photo but have Straighten, Vertical and Horizontal top right which are useful but rather quirky. I miss the old rotate. Of course, I can use Gimp or other apps to free rotate but it's a pain.
Straighten IS rotate. Same thing.

Would love to see similar complete guide but for markup on iPhone. From what I know about using it, it’s clunky.
I always appreciate your videos but found this one a bit fast. I wanted to send a markup tutorial to name people in photographs but I don't think my friend will be able to follow this. I will however and will go bck and review it later. Thank you.
My markup toolbar looks a bit different - tools in a slightly different order and I only have 1 sketch line tool.
Which version of macOS?
@@macmost 12.1
@@duncandavies1966 It should look the same. Not sure why it doesn't for you.
You move to fast and never showed how to remove a line that you just drew
There's nothing special to removing a line. Just click it to select it (if it already isn't) and press the Delete key.
@@macmost I really like your videos, I figured out how to delete
