I like this software, but I noticed that after you snip--->save--->close the software, you can't open the image again with SnippingTool.exe
Is there a way to achieve this?
I've tried to use the alternate menu right-click "open with" but it's not working. It just open a new SnippingTool instance without the image I want to open.

No, Snipping Tool cannot open an image.
Use Snipping Tool to capture screenshots - Windows Help Sometimes the easiest way to make a copy of something is to take a snapshot of your screen—this is what Snipping Tool does. Use it to save and share news stories, movie reviews, or recipes.
Capture part or all of your PC screen, add notes, save the snip, or email it right from the Snipping Tool window.
There is no mention of reopening snips in Snipping Tool Help. There is no "Open" command in the File menu.
Use the Microsoft application Paint to open or edit images you saved with Snipping Tool.

I saw that there is no open command, that's why I'm here. Maybe someone know a hax to achieve this. Paint does not have the yellow marker I want to use. – Ilovelinux – 2016-12-12T19:08:34.490
As a workaround, open an existing image in any program and re-snip. However, a better solution would be to use a more powerful image editing application like GIMP or Paint.NET. – Steven – 2016-12-13T00:20:26.993
You could always screenshot the image.... then use that to highlight. – Journeyman Geek – 2016-12-13T00:25:06.897

I found that by copying the 'snipped pic' and pasting it into Word you can go from there as to what you want to do.

How do you go from pasting the image into Word to opening the image again with SnippingTool.exe? – Scott – 2018-03-05T03:22:14.147
