How to "edit" a screenshot and paste it back into an email Dear Apple, How do edit a screenshot and paste it back into an email (just like snag it app (for windows) does? I am able to capture a screenshot, edit it but then I have to attach my work as an attachment. I would like to paste the "edited screenshot" directly inside an email as opposed to an attachment. I know I can do Command+Shift+4 and keep pushing control+4 - to paste inside an email/ document it's command+V. This allows to only paste the current screen (you can't edit, highlight, point out anything) Thanks for your help in advance.
