So I am making a rather extensive tutorial for a site I frequent and I am using some pretty high def photos - around 10 mp. Anyways I batch processed them all from RAW to JPG and they look great still however, I am trying to draw arrows (for instructions) using SnagIt 8 and its export quality is shite. Does anyone know of a quick method to adding stuff like arrows and text to images? I don't want to use photoshop because being as slow as it is, using large pictures (80 of them) takes to long. Any help would be uber super. Thanks.

Paint will do the job just fine.

Photoshop )
Or possible find a picture of an arrow online, and paste it into SnagIt (not sure if that's possible..)

Quick shapes or something like that. It's pretty basic if you just look around a bit. I would check under insert.
