I'd like to add textual notes to a Photoshop file, like the notes you can write when preparing a power point, not seen by the end user but only by the presenter.
I need to add quick notes about the layers, instead of having to flesh the whole idea or forget what it was all about. Is this possible?
Photoshop has a Note tool, that sits at the top section of the toolbar and is grouped with color picker.
Older versions of PS:
Note tool is located at the bottom section of the toolbar. Can't remember what it was grouped with.
In older versions the note opens up where it is placed and you can keep multiple notes open at once. In the newer versions (cs5+?), they all open up in a single panel when clicked and you can only show the contents of one note at a time.
I don't have a suggestion for a single layer but if you would like to write info for a group you can simply create an extra layer, write text in it and make it either invisible or drag it outside the artboard. I use this especially for fonts I use, I type the name of the font in an extra layer and make it invisible.
Another option may be naming the layers and groups well; there is no harm in giving them long names.
Also you may want to use folders for more complex artwork; when you have many layers (and groups) folders are very helpful in organizing them.
You can edit File info, under file > file info...
but i think i know what you mean and so i would recommend adding folders to group certain layers and naming them well, really well. Usually the layer pannel is small and can only fit a few words but if you like you can expend it how wide you want it to be so you can fit whole sentences.
hope it helps
