I'd like to use the pen more.

I can think of all sorts of things to do with the pen but I don't know the best way to go about doing them. One thing I'd like to do is make notations on jpg photos. The only way I figured out how to do them was to insert a photo into OneNote and than hand write some notes on the photo. It seems that in most cases a yellow shows up best. I than resize the photo in OneNote to fill as much of the screen as possible and use SnagIt to mark off and capture the photo again and save it as a jpg.

Has anyone else found good and/or unique uses for the pen? If so, could you give a little detail of how you accomplished it?

For annotating photos, perhaps try paint? Photoshop? Something along those lines.

I use it a ton just for web browsing - much more accurate than with my fingers. Been through multiple batteries already

@ctitanic, your handwriting is way too legible. Makes mine look worse than chicken scratch.

Well, I knew that's how you get to Carnegie Hall. Didn't realize it was the key to good handwriting as well.

For those that don't own SnagIt you can use the snipping tool as well and it has native Ink Support....

The only problem is that it's only for Desktop.
