Annotations : IntroductionAnnotation buttonsAnnotating in Professional Workstation consists of addingtext and graphical objects to enhance or isolate regions ofinterest within an image.Annotations do not permanently alter the image; rather theyare stored separately from the image data, and are held in atransparent layer atop the image. (Think of a transparencysheet with writing laid over a picture.) Thus it is not possiblefor annotations to damage the original image data, and theycan be hidden at any time to allow full analysis of the image.All of the annotation tools described over the next severalpages have easy, one-click toolbar buttons to activate them.They are also available from the Image Context menu (rightclickon any image, choose “Annotate”), and additionally canbe found by navigating the menus in the menu bar.Each topic below names an image annotation tool, lists theways to activate it (toolbar button, menu entry, etc.), andexplores its usage.Save your Annotations!One of the most important reminders is to save yourannotations.After you have annotated images in a study, be sure tosave those annotations!
