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.
- Select the Notes tool in the Tool bar or choose
Window > Notes.
- 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.
- Click where you want to place the note.
- 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
- 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.

the text or delete the note by clicking the Delete Note icon.
