Photoshop layers in InDesign?
Is there a way to import a layered PSD file into InDesign (both CS2) and move the PSD layers about? I can see how to turn the layers on and off when importing, but I'd like to be able to do more, eg to stretch the background and create bleed.

"When a Photoshop file is placed in a document, all layers and layer masks are automatically flattened. These changes affect the file inside the InDesign document only--the original Photoshop file is not altered. If you save paths, masks, or alpha channels in a Photoshop file, InDesign can use them to remove backgrounds, or to wrap text around graphics. Graphics that contain paths, masks, or alpha channels act as transparent objects when imported." Sooo... CS2 isn't different; I thought maybe turning off "Maximum Compatibility" in Photoshop export would make a difference, but seems not. HW |

You wouldn't really want ID to bring in a layered PSD file as is, would you? I mean, what's ID going to do with Adjustment layers and what are you going to do with 30+ layers where one would do? __________________ Cristen |

I have never understood why anyone would try to set type in Photoshop. I know it has become more controllable over earlier versions, but it is really not a typographic tool. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |
