I understand your use case for overlays, and that seems entirely
reasonable to me.  But in my case, I didn't create any overlays, and
I didn't add any markings nor annotations.  I simply used the Pixel
Inspection Tool to inspect a pixel in the image, yet when I saved the
image, I found that the tool cursor (i.e., the small red box) had been
saved in the image!

Kind regards,
