Photoshop 6 for Windows Bible- P6 Chapter 3 ✦ Image Fundamentals 115 Note icon Open note Figure 3-21: After adding text-based notes or audio comments to an image, save the file in the PDF format so that others can access the annotations when viewing the image in Adobe Acrobat. When you save your image, be sure to save in the Photoshop native format or PDF and select the Annotations check box in the Save dialog box. Otherwise, you lose all your notes. For information on how to delete individual notes in an open image and how to customize and import notes, skip to the section “Managing annotations.” Voicing your opinionsPhotoshop 6 If you like to speak your mind rather than put your thoughts in writing, check out the audio annotation tool. This tool works like the notes tool except that it inserts an audio recording of your voice rather than a text message into the file. Of course, you need a microphone, speakers, and a sound card installed in your computer to use this feature. Also, Photoshop retains audio annotations only when you save the image file using the Photoshop native format or PDF, as with text notes. Be aware, too, that audio files increase file size significantly. The audio annotation tool shares quarters with the notes tool in the toolbox. Press N to toggle between the two tools (or Shift+N, depending on the preference you established in the General panel of the Preferences dialog box). Click in your image at the spot where you want the icon representing your message to appear.116 Part I ✦ Welcome to Photoshop 6 When the Audio Annotation dialog box appears, click Start to begin your recording and then talk into the microphone. Click Stop when you’ve said all you have to say. Photoshop represents your audio message with a little speaker icon in the image window. Double-click the icon to play the message. Managing annotations Photoshop 6 If you’re a solo artist and the only approval of your work you need is your own, you may not have much reason to use the notes or audio annotation tools. Then again, you may be an easily distracted sort and find annotations a terrific way to remind yourself exactly what you’re trying to accomplish in an image. And who’s to say that your friends won’t love being able to hear an audio clip of your dog Binky yapping at the vacuum cleaner when they view his picture in Acrobat? Whether you’re using annotations for fun or profit, use the following strategies to manage audio and text annotations: ✦ Use the Font and Size controls on the Options bar to change the font and type size in an open note. ✦ Click the Color icon to change the color of the icon and title bar for any new note you create. This option comes in handy if several people will be review- ing the image and putting in their two cents’ worth. You can assign a different color to each author. To change the color of an existing note, open the note and click the Color icon. This time, you affect only the open note — other notes by the same author don’t change. ✦ You can move and copy annotations between image windows. Just click the icon and use the Cut, Copy, and Paste commands as you do to move and copy any selection. ✦ If an icon blocks your view of the image, you can drag it out of the way. However, when you open the note, its window appears in the icon’s original location. Drag the size box in the lower-right corner of an open note to shrink the window if necessary. ✦ Choose View ➪ Show ➪ Notes to toggle the display of annotation icons on and off. Alternatively, choose View ➪ Hide All and View ➪ Show All to hide and display icons and other interface ele ...
