Hi Guys

When on XP, I had a handy drawing tool called Snippy, I could either draw a red line around subject, or by pressing shift, draw a rectangle.

Would appreciate advice on one, or even Snippy if you know the link.

Snipping tool can highlight and you can draw with a pen. No ability to add rectangle or text. For that, i use Paint.net. it is free and small.

The snipping tool is still built into Windows, Frenchman. I have it in my Quick Launch Toolbar for when I need it. In the Metro interface, start typing snipping tool and within the first three or four letters, it will appear. The path to it is C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories. That said, I didn't find it on my start screen. :(

I click on it (from my toolbar) [press enter when your cursor is on it in search], click New and the screen dims. The line around the "object" can be square or rectangle, according to how you draw it.

Hope this helps.

Paint.net or Manga Studio would be good enough.
