This article covers the Image Editor available from within New Sales Experience Estimates only.

### **Opening the Image Editor**

You can edit any photo you've added to the Inspection page or Cover page of an Estimate. Check out [How Do I Create an Estimate in JobNimbus?](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-create-an-estimate-in-jobnimbus?hsLang=en) to learn how to add photos.

1. Open the Estimate and select the page you want to edit photos on from the **Pages** list on the left.
2. Select the **pencil icon** under the photo you want to edit.

*![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%201-36-42%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=670&height=300&name=Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%201-36-42%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)*

The photo opens in the image editor, with the toolbar across the top of the screen. The **Select** tool is active when the editor opens.

To edit photos on a Job's Photos tab instead, check out [How Do I Take, Upload, and Edit Photos?](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-edit-photos-in-the-mobile-app?hsLang=en)

 

### **Cropping and Rotating a Photo**

Cropping removes all markup on the photo, and this can't be undone. Crop and rotate the photo first, then add your annotations.

1. Select the **Crop and Rotate** icon in the toolbar. You can also type the letter x to start using this tool.   
   ![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-03-27%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=53&height=44&name=Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-03-27%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
2. If the photo already has markup, a **Clear annotations?** message appears. Select **Continue** to clear the markup, or **Cancel** to keep it.
3. Drag the photo to position it inside the crop frame.
4. Use the **Zoom** slider to zoom in or out, or select **Fit** or **Fill**.
5. Select the rotate icons next to **90°** to turn the photo a quarter turn, or use the minus and plus icons next to **Fine** for small adjustments.
6. Select the **checkmark** to apply the crop, or the **X** to cancel.

![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%201-47-05%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=623&height=641&name=Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%201-47-05%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

If you zoom out until the photo is smaller than the crop frame, the extra space shows as a white border.

### **Annotating a Photo**

Each tool in the toolbar adds a different kind of markup. Hover over a tool to see its name and keyboard shortcut.

![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-04-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=610&height=58&name=Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-04-39%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)

- **Select (V)**: Select a markup to move it. Drag a corner handle to resize it, or drag the handle above it to rotate it.
- **Pencil (P)**: Draw freehand.
- **Line (L)**: Draw a straight line.
- **Arrow (A)**: Draw an arrow to point at damage.
- **Circle (C)**: Draw a circle or oval.
- **Rectangle (R)**: Draw a box.
- **Text (T)**: Add a typed label.
- **Color**: Choose the color for your markup.
- **Stroke width**: Choose **Thin**, **Medium**, or **Thick** lines.
- **Undo** and **Redo**: Step back or forward through your changes.

To add markup to a photo:

1. Select a tool from the toolbar.
2. Click and drag on the photo to draw. With the **Text** tool, click where the label should go and type.
3. Choose the **Select** tool and select a markup to move or resize it.

 

### **Saving Your Changes**

1. Select the **Save** icon in the toolbar.
   
   ![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-05-45%E2%80%AFPM-png.png?width=47&height=43&name=Screenshot%202026-10-13%20at%202-05-45%E2%80%AFPM-png.png)
2. Wait for **Saving...** to finish. The editor closes, and a **Saved!** message appears briefly on the screen.

The edited photo shows on the page and in the Estimate when you select **Review & Share**.

To leave the editor without saving, select the **X** icon.
