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.
Select the proof and the list of comments marked as to-dos will be revealed on the right-hand side of the panel.
Step 3
Select a comment to reveal the pin position annotated on the artwork.
Tips
Hover over the comment text and click the copy icon to copy the comment text.
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.
A comment can be replied to by clicking the reply icon.
If you have permission to do so, a private reply can be created by clicking the eye icon before the comment is submitted. Learn more about private comments.
Apply a filter to narrow down searching for a proof by clicking the filter icon on the left-hand side of the plugin panel:
