About notes



You can attach notes to an image in Photoshop. This is useful for associating review comments, production notes, or other information with the image. Notes 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 or show notes, or open notes to view or edit their contents.

Add notes

You can add notes anywhere on your Photoshop image canvas. When you create a note, an icon appears on the image.

  1. Select the Notes tool in the Tool bar or choose Window > Notes.
  2. In the Options bar, enter or specify the following as needed:
    Author
    Specifies the note author’s name.

    Color
    Selects the color for the note icon. Clicking the color box opens the Adobe Color Picker so you can select a color.

  3. Click where you want to place the note.
  4. The cursor will automatically be active

Show or hide notes

To show or hide notes, do one of the following:

  • Choose View > Show > Notes.

  • Choose View > Extras. This command also shows or hides grids, guides, selection edges, target paths, and slices.

Open, edit, or delete notes

To open notes:

  • Click on the note icon within the image. The note text will display in the Notes panel.
  • Open the Notes panel and click back arrow/forward arrow to toggle through all notes associated with the active image.
    Note: From the Notes panel, you can edit the note by changing the text or delete the note by clicking the Delete Note icon.
