Good to know

  1. The video ends with the line drawn; tapping Save is not shown on camera, so this guide covers drawing only, not saving.
  2. The Draw hint in the editor explains that holding your finger down after drawing a shape straightens it automatically.
  3. The Recent grid also holds test-pattern thumbnails; the photo used here is an ordinary desk photo with no people in it.
