Screenshot markup

GGORG

Does anyone recommend a good app for editing screenshots right from the popup? Preferably open source and good looking. And of course it must support sharing the edited screenshot right there.

[deleted] two years have passed, and I still find it incredibly tedious to use. It's only good to quickly rotate or crop the screenshot.

I often use drawing or highlighting things on the screenshots, and now I'm at the point I never use GrapheneOS' app for this:
1) "undo" undoes EVERYTHING you do with a tool, not just last scribble(s) like Google's app does
2) it always defaults to 50% opacity, which is kind of infuriating if I had to several times undo (losing all drawing), choose tool again, choose opacity 100% again, make a small mistake because screen is tiny, undo again (losing ALL drawing again), choose drawing tool, having to set the opacity from 50% to 100% again.

I just... can't. Now it's either Aves or Google Photos for me.

I'd like something more like the stock Markup app...
Right now I'm just using Google Photos with revoked network access, but unfortunately every time I want to share an image I have to manually find it in the gallery after editing.

I just use Google's Markup app, downloaded from APKMirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/markup/

It doesn't require Internet and generally doesn't seem to be very privacy-invasive, if you're worried about that. I haven't run into any major quirks using it on GrapheneOS. I have the Sensors permission disabled for it (the only permission it asks for) and it works just fine.

This app can be downloaded from GOS's Apps.

Hat How to open this Markup app ?

Just hit an edit button on a photo and you'll be prompted to open the markup app.

Hat What about metadata ?

Are you asking if it'll add metadata? I don't think there's any metadata for it to get from screenshots or photos taken with the GrapheneOS camera app.

Yes, most apps add some saving files.

In my case the only way to open the app is through the camera app.
It work, I can save the picture but I get "An unexpected error occurred after editing" when I press the save button.

I don't know the answer to this one. Shouldn't be too hard to check, though.

yes, that's a known issue. The GrapheneOS camera app shares the file with the markup app, but apparently it only gives access to read the file, not to modify it.
