Yes I agree about the rectangle the only reason I would prefer the marker tool is because the effect would be more real. A semi transparent rectangle looks too "geometrically" perfectsjj1805 wrote:The way I would do this with any image editing software
(Paint shop Pro / PhotoImpact, Photoshop etc.)
would be to draw a filled rectangle over the text (or object) concerned and then reduce the transparency to allow the text (or object) to show through.

I don't have PSP X, so I'm not sure it has the Marker Pen. If it does, just use it, which uses an Art Media Layer. Draw over your writing, just like you're highlighting. Then in the Layer's Manager, reduce the opacity so that you can see through it to the layer beneath it. Viola, instant highlight pen...
If you do not have the Marker Pen, then just use the Paint Brush tool, and reduce the opacity (increase the transparency). It does the same thing as the Marker Pen..

Use the Paint Brush tool with a rectangular shape, hardness of 100, thickness of about 20 and size set to suit your text. Change the Blend mode to Darken or Multiply and change the foreground colour to suit. Now just paint over the words you want to highlight.
For a long, straight line, click at the start of the line, hold down Shift and click at the end of the line. (But just painting over the line might look more realistic).
It might help to change the rotation of the brush a little as well, to avoid too geometrically squared off ends to the line.
