Image Annotation
Images can be imported directly as a stamp without having to create and save the stamp. Any of the supported image formats (*png, *jpg, *jpeg, *jpe, *gif, *tif & *tiff.) can be used.
Note: When importing an image directly as a stamp the image will be converted to a JPEG and inserted as is.
Creating an Image Annotation
- Select the Image tool by clicking the in the Comment Tab on the toolbar or using the shortcut key Ctrl + Shift + I (⌘ + Shift + I on Mac)
- Use the file chooser select the image you wish to use

To create an image stamp that can be reused instead of an "on-the-fly" stamp, create a custom image stamp.
