>>>>>>Do you know how to add call-outs (though not sure this is the right term) to an image created with the snipping tool? For example, I can capture an application window but then I want to add arrows with the a short text in round or oval shapes. For example, the text in a shape would say "1 - enter ID", "2 - Click this button", and so on. Snipping tool has a pen or a highlighter but I can't make straight lines or round shapes with it.

>>>There are many options, these are some which I know are widely used:
>>>
>>>1. The program contains a virus (this happens much more than most people think)
>>>2. The program comes with advertisements, to get rid of the ads you must pay
>>>3. The company also makes more advanced versions which come with a price
>>>4. The company makes money tailor making the program for customers and/or for inclusion in other products
>>>5. The program is a hacked version of a commercial product
