Skitch has no resize/adjust nodes. For simplicity, Skitch acts like somewhere in the middle of vector and bitmap applications. Once you allow editing of objects in this way, complexity goes up a lot. That isn't to say we won't allow this in the future, but it required a lot of thought, and we decided to work on other features before that. Rob G, Currently, you have to redraw it.

(all of which are valid and we see it used like that too) It was always mentioned on the site, but what you say makes me realize it isn't prominent or clear enough. Thanks! We (plasq) built it to solve our own need. We all work from home and are spread around the world, as many work these days. Pointing out things that need adjusting and fixing was tedious - one can't just point at the screen. So Skitch was born. Now, I would hate to work the way we work, without Skitch :) Glad you got onto Skitch Alex
