Another way to organize a project and help to remember diddly items about an image that you’re working on is to add virtual sticky notes to an image or even record a message.
To add a virtual sticky note to an image, follow these steps:
With the image open in Photoshop, select the Notes tool from the Toolbox (or press N on the keyboard).
Click in the image window.
A note window appears, as shown in Figure 1-7.
Figure 1-7: Adding notes to remind you of something.
Type your message, and then click the tiny Close box at the upper corner of the note window.
A small note icon remains in the image window. If you want to open the note, just double-click it. To delete the note, right-click/z +click on the note icon and choose the Delete Note option from the context-sensitive menu.
| Tip |
The small note icon is visible only in the image window when the image is open in Photoshop cs . If you print the image, the icon does not print. |
Follow these steps to add a vocal annotation to an image:
With an image open in Photoshop, select the Audio Annotation tool from the Toolbox.
Remember: You need a microphone plugged into your computer’s sound card.
Click anywhere in the image window.
The Audio Annoation dialog box, shown in Figure 1-8, opens.
Figure 1-8: Click Start to begin recording an audio annotation.
Click Start to begin recording your message.
When you’re finished recording, click Stop.
A tiny speaker icon appears in the image window. If you want to hear the recorded message, just double-click the icon. To delete the annotation, right-click/z+click the speaker icon and choose the Delete Audio Annotation option from the context-sensitive menu.

The speaker icon is visible only in the image window when the image is open in Photoshop cs . If you print the image, the icon does not print. |
