by Joyce Evans
Photoshop 6 has incorporated annotation tools for embedding
written design notes or recorded voice comments in your files.
Annotated Photoshop PSD or TIFF files an be sent to anyone
with Photoshop 6 or saved as a PDF with annotations and layers
preserved, which can then be viewed in Adobe Acrobat.
