You can use ImageWell to send any type of file to the web quickly?
Not just image files......you can send quicktime movies, word docs, excel sheets, pdf's, as well as any other common file type. You can send other image types such as .gif and .png as well. All you need to do is set your location list to the server you wish the file to go to; then drag and drop the file over top the Send button. The progress bar will appear showing the status of your upload. You can then paste the url into a email or discussion board post for others to quickly go to and download. When you upload quicktime movies or sound files, you can paste the url into your browser to view/listen to it online.

You can place a draw object anywhere on your canvas while in the Edit window?
You no longer need to keep the draw objects within the boundaries of the image itself. ImageWell will adjust the canvas appropriately to include the draw objects. Once you have placed the object where you would like it to go (on the image, outside of the image, crossover between image and canvas, etc.), hit the Done button to return to the main application window. You will see the adjustment made to include your draw object.

You can enhance your picture by adding an elegant drop shadow?
This feature is only available on Panther (10.3.3) and can be accessed from the main menu under Tools. You can frame your picture with a shape and then add the drop shadow, or simply add a drop shadow without including a shape.

You can paste multiple url's/tags at a time?

You can put a shape around an annotated picture, not just the image itself?
First add a label, thought cloud, talking balloon, or any other draw object to your picture. Click Done from the Edit window to return to the main application window. Hit copy. Then hit paste to paste the annotated image back into the image well. Go to the shapes tab and add a shape. The shape will frame your image with the annotations included inside the shape border.
