Abstract
Techniques for an ink experience with images are discussed herein. In various implementations, an image is displayed via an image management application for viewing and/or editing images. In conjunction with interaction scenarios provided via the application, an inking mode for adding inked annotations to the image is enabled. Input to apply one or more inked annotations to the image is obtained, such as via finger touches on a touchscreen, drawing with a stylus, camera-based gestures, or other natural input mechanisms. Responsive to obtaining the input, data blocks corresponding to the one or more inked annotations are appended to an image file as additional data blocks for the image.
