How do you guys handle images in Obsidian? I can't zoom or see detail on large screen shots for example. Pretty new to the application so maybe I'm missing something

I have yet to find a way to use Obsidian with images (sketches, diagrams) as easily as I would like. If there was a way to combine Obsidian's keyboard-based note-taking features (including LaTeX equations) with graphics and diagrams drawn in an app like GoodNotes 5 for iPad, that would be fantastic.

Have you tried the Excalidraw plugin?

Like mentioned, the excalidraw plugin is a game changer

Media management is entirely manual and very bare bones, unfortunately.

You can do:

If you want to adjust the width and height, then you can do this:

I use a plugin called Image Toolkit [0]. When you click on an image it opens an overlay that lets you zoom and do some light editing. I started including images in my notes inline, scaled down to about 50px (so they are still roughly recognizable), and clicking on them when I want to see them in detail.
