How to do it on Windows
Choose Open in image editor from the destination picker after capture, then annotate before saving. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.
- Step 1. Capture a region or window.
- Step 2. In the destination picker choose Open in image editor.
- Step 3. Add annotations and save the edited image as a separate copy.
How to verify the result
The saved file should include the annotations. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.
Common limitation or mistake
For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
