Export feedback from verybusy as Photoshop layers to streamline your retouching workflow.

What You Get

A .PSD file containing:

  • Background layer: Preview of your original file

  • Individual markup layers: Each containing the markup, comment text, and reviewer details in the layer name (date, round, reviewer)

How to Access

On the image thumbnail:

  1. Right-click on the thumbnail

  2. Select Download Markups

Inside Markup View:

  1. Click the Download button

  2. Select Download Markups

Things to keep in mind for this Beta:

  • The background is a flat preview, not your working PSD. Use your own master file for edits

  • The overlay is sized to the verybusy upload dimensions.

    • If your working file is larger, drag the markup group into your master and Free Transform to fit

    • Or resize the PSD with the feedback to the master file's pixel dimensions before pasting into your working file

  • Text-only comments, replies, and attachments still require a quick look in the app

  • It’s one asset at a time today. Batch download is coming soon! We'll let you know when it's available.


Purpose-built for Retouching Ops

Bridging the gap between feedback and execution improves:

Speed and focus

  • Comments sit on their exact pixels in Photoshop, so you're not bouncing between the browser and your file

  • Only unresolved notes are exported, keeping it clean as a to-do stack

Precision

  • Each markup lands where the reviewer clicked - no guesswork about region, crop, or scale

  • Layer names include date, round, and reviewer for clear triage and attribution

Workflow control

  • Toggle layers off as you finish items, or color-tag/rename to track progress your way

  • Group or sort by reviewer or round using the layer names

  • Keep the overlay in your job folder for QA and handoff history

Handoff and collaboration

  • Send the PSD overlay to other retouchers without giving them app access

  • Great for training juniors by showing exactly how feedback maps to pixels

Bottom line: Turns review notes into actionable Photoshop layers, reducing context switching and removing guesswork while giving you simple completion tracking.
