How to Download Markups & Comments in a .PSD File

Beta feature: download feedback from VeryBusy in a Photoshop file

Updated this week

Export comments and markups from VeryBusy as Photoshop layers to get image feedback right where you need it.

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 the Markup Interface:

  1. Click the Download button

  2. Select Download Markups


Things to keep in mind:

  • This feature is in its beta release

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

  • The overlay is sized to the VeryBusy upload dimensions. If the pixel dimensions of your working file are larger, drag the layers into your working file and transform to fit

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

  • Soon you will be able to download a PSD for multiple images in VeryBusy at one time. We'll let you know when that feature is 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 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.
