Samsung GALAXY S5 Complete Manual page 113

your finger or an S Pen is generally the quickest and easiest way to
get started, but if you look at the top of the screen then you will
also see a range of other options to choose from, including a 'T'
symbol that allows you to turn handwriting into text and a shapes
symbol that enables you to draw shapes directly onto the screen. In
addition to this, you can insert images too.
Handwrite text and use brushes
When writing on the screen, you might at first
only feel confident writing ordinary words
and sentences. To get past this, it is perhaps
important to bear in mind that you can
transform your scribing digit into all manner
of writing and drawing implements with the
aid of in-app pen and brush settings. Tap the
pen icon and you will see a range of settings
appear on the screen that let you choose
different brush types, stroke thicknesses and styles, not to mention
ink colours. You can save anything that you particularly like as a
preset so that you can use it as often as you like.
Add images to notes
A picture says a thousand words – at least that's what people say,
anyway. With S Note, you can combine words and images into a
single item, bringing them together in order to help emphasise your
point. You can draw in images from the Gallery app, as well as use
Maps, a wide range of built-in clip art and shapes, and even videos.
Plus, you can record videos and take photos without leaving S Note.
Once you've placed an image onto a note, you can resize it so
that it fits your requirements, rotate it, and then apply a range of
different effects to make a photo look like as though it has been
hand-drawn. The scope to get creative is immense.
You can make use of the
sketch effect in order to
give your photos that nice
hand-drawn look
