Does anyone know of an image markup tool integrating with Airtable?

Did you mean: 

We're annotating and marking up alot of images on a daily basis for manufacturing (arrows, dotted lines and text). This was typically done in Excel docs and then the excel doc would get exported as pdf and sent to manufacturers.

We've now tried to move all this onto Airtable. We're using documint to export the documents from airtbale and illustrator to annotate the images.

However our team that deals with marking up the images is about to "lose the will to live" as they say it takes too long to first download the images to their harddrive. Then open the image in illustrator, then make the annotations. Save them as jpg and then upload into Airtable. And if anything needs to be ammended they'll have to the whole thing over again (as it's fairly technical the annotations often has to be reviewed and amended by a technical team). 

Our problem is we can't annotate directly in Airtable as we need to use marked up images layed out in printed documents.

We've spend a good amount to time integrating airtable and documint. But this annotation problem starts to eat up the enthusiasm.

So I wonder if anyone would know of a workflow to make this more efficient? or a markup editor that somehow can work directly with Airtable?

Any advice will be hugely appreciated

Hey @Kim_Trager1,

Would you mind sening an example of a dummy original image, and the markedup versión of it? To get a sense of what is it that you are trying to achieve.

Hi @Mike_AutomaticN , there is no particular way of marking up an image as it'll vary from image to image. But the ability to add arrows, dotted lines, boxes and text... An example of a marked-up image is this:
