Image sketching a new iPad app today that lets you to draw or visually annotate anything that appears on the tablet’s screen. So easy to grab a web page, photo, or screen shot, and mark it up. Just pulled up a federal regulation, marked up the page and sent it to a client.
Skitch previously launched an Android application that coincided with the company’s sale to note taking service Evernote in August. The app quickly becoming an invaluable tool for anyone who holds lots of meetings or conducts many hands on demonstrations.
The Skitch iPad app has a basic set of annotation tools, including an arrow tool, a paint brush (for scribbling/drawing), a text box tool, a shapes tool (ovals, rectangles & lines), a crop tool and a cursor tool (to move the annotated parts around the image).
There are, however, a few missing features in the iPad version that probably didn’t make sense for a touch screen interface. For instance, the app doesn’t have a tool for erasing, so you’ll have to select and delete anything you mess up on. Also missing is the paint bucket tool, the ability to change the font style in text boxes and fewer color options.
The app gives you plenty of options when it comes to importing an image into Skitch. You can pull up photos from your iPad’s albums, snap a new picture with the iPad camera (iPad 2 only), take a screenshot of another app running in the background or just scribble on a blank canvas. You can also take screenshots of a specific web page or a custom map. Any image you’ve altered is then stored on the app’s home screen.
