# How do I draw on a photo and show a before and after?

Open a photo and choose Mark up to draw arrows, circles, boxes and labels. Choose Before and after to pair it with another photo, and the job shows the two with a slider. Marks never change the photo itself, so the original stays exactly as it was taken.

## Step by step

1. Open the photo and choose Mark up (on the web or in the phone app).
2. Pick a tool and a color, then drag on the picture. For a label, type the words and tap where they go.
3. Save the marks. Anyone you show the photo to sees them too.
4. To pair photos, open one, choose Before and after, say whether this is the before or the after, and pick the other photo.

## Good to know

- Up to 40 marks fit on a photo.
- A pair is shown to the customer only when both photos are shared with them.
- Marks and pairs appear in the PDF photo report.
