Hi all, I know I have done this before, but I dont remember how I did it, can someone please help ?

All I need to do, is to put a pointer/arrow on top of a JPG picture to point out something on the picture.

I have done it before and I probably still have the App that I did it with before, but I'll be dammed if I can find it OR know what it's called !.

The one I like is Skitch. However, the newest version since Evernotes acquisition is a little stunted. Due to customer outrage, the older version for Mac is available from the drop-down there in gray. Grab the older version and you can draw your nice arrows..

Thank you everyone for replying, "a devil you know is better than a devil you dont know" so I now know it was SKITCH that I used before with some success, I had the old version which I remember was adequate for me, and then I slipped up and upgraded to theEvernote version and I deleted it completely.

So thank you Raz0rEdge for putting me on the right track :( brill.

It'd be nice if whomever designed and approved Preview knew the difference between a "line" and an "arrow".
