Text based annotations Merged

Please, please, please add the option for text-based annotations rather than having to crudely scrawl words using the trackpad on top of images. Often my clients will provide specific retouching requests, or I spot something I need to remember to do in post-production, but having to try and create words using the trackpad, especially on pressured shoots, only adds to the stress. Often I give up and type notes in my phone which can cause confusion.

Just a simple text box you can place on the image and type into, perhaps with a draggable arrow to point to a specific area of the image. Honestly, this would be an absolute game changer and lots of other photographers I know have the same frustration. I have held off upgrading for a few versions but I will absolutely go to the latest version if this is implemented.

Current workaround

Using the trackpad to write words is incredibly slow and innacurate (often illegible), so I often end up resorting to clumsy and unprofessional methods due to time pressures which can lead to confusion further down the line.
