How do you add arrows, text, and callouts to your macOS Photos? With Markup!
Markup is Apple's extension for adding text, callouts, shapes, and more to images and documents and, with macOS Sierra, it's now built right into Photos for Mac. That means you can quickly take a snap shot, add an arrow, circle an area of interest, drop in some text, and then send it to a friend, co-worker, or post it up on the internet. All in just a few seconds!

- Launch the Photos app from your dock.
- Double-click on the photo you would like to edit.
- Click Edit in the upper right corner of the Photos window.
- Click the more button on the upper right of the photos window. It's a circle with three dots in it.
Click Markup.
- You can now make your markup edits on your photo.
- Click Save Changes on the top right of the window when you're happy. Your edited photo will appear in your library.
