Apart from opening the gateway of customization with the addition of home screen widgets and offering a better way to keep the apps organized with the introduction of “App Library,” iOS 14 has also added several neat improvements including the “New Markup color tools.” With features like eyedropper tool, opacity slider, and Hexadecimal value support, you can now edit screenshots, photos, and choose different font and opacity thickness with more precision. If you are yet to use new Markup color tools in iOS 14 on iPhone and iPad, follow along to get started!

Whether you want to create a good-looking note, edit your photos, add some nice customization to screenshots, or even insert a digital signature to a PDF document, the Markup tool has a role to play. With the inclusion of several precision tools, it now offers you more flexibility to create attractive designs or annotate PDFs.

One of my favorite additions to the Markup tools is the super handy “eyedropper” tool located at the upper-left corner of the screen. What makes this tool so user-friendly is the ability to pick a color from any source on the screen.

  1. Once you have selected your color of choice you can use it to annotate a screenshot or PDF, write in notes, and more.

With just one grid of choices featuring a total of 120 colors, the Markup color options seemed quite limited in iOS 13. Thanks to the addition of some notable tools like eyedropper and hexadecimal support, Markup seems to be a complete package now.
