I'm a geek for digital technology and I love finding ways to work without paper. The less I use my printer, the better. In fact, every time I find a way to do something in my office that I would normally need a printout for and create a workaround, I get all happy and weird.
It's probably best that I work in here alone.
I've been trying to work around making revisions to client work without printing them. The problem was, I hated going back and forth between e-mail and Illustrator or Flash to make them (most clients just e-mail changes to me so we're halfway to Paperless Land already).
I always printed them out so I could refer to them just next to my keyboard, but I hated myself for it. Not because I'm a tree hugger (vegan is enough), but I knew there just had to be a paperless way.
Simple solutions are always the best (and come to me the slowest, apparently). Working in Flash, I decided to just create a new layer and paste the edits in from the e-mail right under my art board. Of course this works in Illustrator and Photoshop as well.
I just heard someone in the back row say, "Duh." Nice. Come on out and fix my Volvo blower motor, why don'tcha? Using only an iPhone for reference, of course.

I forgot to mention that rather than worrying about deleting that "Notes" layer, you could just make it a guide layer (Flash) or turn it off (Illustrator, Photoshop) before publishing/exporting/printing.
Enjoy.
