Adobe Photoshop CS2 On Demand [Electronic resources]

Creating an Audio Annotation

In addition to text notes, Photoshop lets you create audio notes. To create an audio note, your computer needs to have the ability to record sound. The good news is that most computers sold today, especially laptops, have the ability to record sound. Besides being an excellent way to communicate information, audio annotations give a sense of emotion or urgency, which sometimes can't be communicated using the written word. Audio notes require that the receiving computer has an audio output, and while this might seem quite common with today's technology, you might want to include a text note along with the audio note.
