Annotating images
You can attach note annotations (notes) and audio annotations to an image in Photoshop. This is useful for associ
ating review comments, production notes, or other information with the image. Because Photoshop annotations are
compatible with Adobe Acrobat, you can use them to exchange information with Acrobat users as well as Photoshop
users.
To circulate a Photoshop document for review in Acrobat, save the document in Portable Document Format (PDF)
and ask reviewers to use Acrobat to add notes or audio annotations. Then import the annotations into Photoshop.
Notes and audio annotations appear as small nonprintable icons on the image. They are associated with a location
on the image rather than with a layer. You can hide and show annotations, open notes to view or edit their contents,
and play audio annotations. You can also add audio annotations to actions, and set them to play during an action or
during a pause in an action.
Adding notes and audio annotations
You can add notes and audio annotations anywhere on a Photoshop image canvas. When you create a note, a
resizable window appears for typing text. When you record an audio annotation, you must have a microphone
plugged into the audio-in port of your computer.
You can also import both kinds of annotations from Photoshop documents saved in PDF or from Acrobat
documents saved in PDF or Form Data Format (FDF).
If you need to delete the annotations in your document, select either the Notes or the Audio Annotation tool and
click Clear All in the tool options bar. All notes and audio annotations are deleted from your document.
