Get the value out of your photographs. Professional image tagging, annotation, retrieval and sharing for photo artists. Annotate Expert allows you to tag images, place keywords and comments that are bound to certain parts of the image, to highlight parts of the image by placing "virtual crops" and to share your images with others very easily. Think about writing on a sheet of glass that is on top of your image. Your comments are stored in a non-destructible way into the header (EXIF) part of the image file in XMP format, not changing the image itself. The annotations you make in your images are only visible if you open the images in Annotate, unless you export the annotations and make them available to anyone.

Why Annotate?
1. You ask why you need to store comments in image header and not draw them directly on the images?
2. Creating comments with Annotate is fast.
3. Annotate is lightweight. You do not need to use complex digital photo editing software to put simple comments in your images.
4. Your comments are stored in the image as text.

Annotate Expert Features:
1. Highlight parts of an image and add textual comments (annotations) with one click
2. Keeps the original untouched - does not destroy or change the original image
3. Annotate multiple images at once
4. Annotations never get lost, because they are integrated into the image files (without XMP sidecar files)

Solution
1. Annotations are stored as a separate layer on top of the original image.
2. The image is not touched at all when placing "virtual crops" in your images.
3. Your comments are stored in a nondestructible way as text into the EXIF part of the image file.
4. Annotations are stored in native XMP format to ensure interoperability.
