How to Draw Circles and Rectangles on a Photo in CrewBox

Boxes and circles isolate the area that matters — the defect, the fixture, the code issue — from everything else in the frame.

Draw a Circle

  1. Open the photo full-screen → Annotate.
  2. Select the Circle tool.
  3. Drag on the photo — the ellipse sizes as you drag; release when it surrounds the target.

Draw a Rectangle

  1. Select the Rectangle tool.
  2. Drag corner to corner — release when the box frames the area.

Adjust After Drawing

Switch to the Select tool and tap the shape:

  • Drag the body to reposition it.
  • Drag the handles to resize — the magnifier loupe keeps your fingertip from hiding the edge.
  • Change color and stroke thickness from the contextual controls.
  • Wrong shape entirely? Delete it (select → delete) and redraw — or just undo.

Circle vs. Rectangle — When

  • Circle: single point of interest — a crack, a missing fastener, a stain.
  • Rectangle: a region — a wall section, a window rough-in, an area of damaged decking.
