If your original images are screenshots, I'd recommend 'flameshot'. Unfortunately, it requires Qt, but you've likely already got that if you run a G.U.I.-based configuration. Aside from that, it can do everything you ask: interactive drawing of text, arrows, shapes, etc. https://github.com/lupoDharkael/flameshot It's not currently in Portage, but can be found in a number of popular 'layman' overlays: https://gpo.zugaina.org/media-gfx/flameshot -- Ashley Dixon suugaku.co.uk 2A9A 4117 DA96 D18A 8A7B B0D2 A30E BF25 F290 A8AA
