Drawing on a posted picture??

Let's see if I can explain what I'm trying to do or learn.

I would like to be able to post a picture, but I would like to be able to put an arrow or circle or label something on the picture when I post it. Can anyone explain how this is done or what I might need to be able to accomplish this?

You can use a program such as microsoft paint to open the picture and draw on it. Any photo editing software should offer the capablility as well.

Print the photo, mark the printed photo to suit you. Take a pic of the marked up printed photo and then post the photo.

This is the quick and easy way but there are software programs but it takes a while to learn those, does for me anyway.

Photobucket also has a 'decoration' editing thing. You can add lines, circles, etc. Most other hosting software (fliker, etc) probably has something similar too.

Here's a trick that might roughly do what you want. Lets use the screen you're currently looking at right now, assuming you're using some version of Windows.
In the bottom left of your screen...
-Go to START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>PAINT.
-Open the "PAINT" program, then minimize it so you are back to this screen
-Hold down the CTRL key, then hit PRINT SCREEN.
-Maximize the PAINT program.
-On the PAINT program, click EDIT, then PASTE.

A picture of the screen you are looking at will be pasted into the PAINT program where you can draw simple lines, text, etc. You can do the same thing with some more elaborate programs that will let you do fancier stuff, but this is just an example and I figured you should have the PAINT program on you're computer. You can do the same thing with pics you're looking at, etc. Just be sure to save your changes in the PAINT program before you close it. Or, if you goof up just close the paint program, re-open it, and re-paste the screen. Hope this helps.

OK,
I found the paint deal and actually drew on the picture! Thanks that will come in handy!
