I'm looking for a tool where I can quickly annotate my Photoshop/Illustrator designs with the distances in pixels between different elements and / or the edges, so I can then transform the layout into code without having to switch between programs and measure distances all day.

I've been searching Google for a while, without any results. Is there something like that?

RasterEdge provides annotation capabilities for users if they want to annotate, redact information on images and documents, it is worth trying.

You don't mention how much you want to spend for this tool, but OmniGraffle can do this.

Here's an example using a portion of this page. I set the page ruler units to pixels, then created line objects with labels that contain dynamic text. I double-clicked the bottom label to show the text variable used to show the pixel dimensions.



I'm using OmniGraffle Pro, but I imagine regular OmniGraffle has this feature as well; I don't remember dynamic text being one of the Pro features.

OmniGraffle is available on the App Store for .99; Omnigraffle Pro for 9.99. I like the software a lot - I imagine you'd find many other uses for it as well.

None, use an additional layer in Photoshop/Illustrator to contain all of you annotations. This way you can easily turn it on/off when you need to and it is all contained within the same document.

If for some reason you are not the creator of these files and you do not have access to Photoshop of Illustrator, try out Skim.
