As a designer, it is quick and easy to create proofs directly from within Adobe Photoshop and send them out to a PageProof workflow. Then, when a to-do list has been returned, bring the comments back into Photoshop with the corresponding pins and markup displayed over your artwork file. Firstly make sure you have installed the PageProof plugin for Adobe Photoshop, then follow these simple instructions:

To bring comments back into Adobe Photoshop

Step 1

Open your artwork file.

Step 2

In the PageProof plugin, click inbox to see proofs that have been returned with a to-do list. Proofs that have been returned are indicated in green and will display a comments icon.

Step 3

Select a comment to reveal the pin position annotated on the artwork.

Tips:

  • Double-click the comment text to select copy.

  • Click the attachment in the comment to download the comment’s attachment. If there are multiple attachments in the comment, multiple files can be selected and downloaded at once.
