'Paste remembers layers' between Indesign and Photoshop (CS5)?

Hello,
Is it possible to preserve layers from Indesign to Photoshop and copy them all in one copy/paste rather than copying each layer individually?
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
Cheers,
Leah =)

Not as far as I know.
Should no one else have better info and if the task is a frequent one you may want to look into Scripting for automating it.

  • Difference between InDesign and Photoshop PDFs for printing?

    Hi, rather new to the whole printing business, forgive me.
    I have both InDesign and Photoshop, but I am better versed in Photoshop. Is there a significant difference between the capabilities for saving a PDF for print between the two? Also, would someone else be able to tell which program I made the PDF with?
    Thanks in advance.

    Like most operations, one tool or the other is more appropriate according to the makeup of the task. It's not just about which PDF is somehow "better," (there are many ways to produce PDF's, and the quality of output isn't necessarily directly dependent upon the originating application), but rather which tool is the correct one for the job.
    For instance, a movie poster can certainly be done completely in Photoshop to good effect. But, if I was laying out the pages of a textbook, where images and longer passages of paragraph-based text were to be mixed, the typographical and document assembly capabilities of InDesign would be indispensible. That's just an example. The very essence of art and design is learning and devising ways to use the available tools alone and in combination to produce a particular result, effect, or solution.

  • Font layers between Elements and Photoshop

    We use Elements 4 and Photoshop CS2. When we open files made in the other program and try to edit text we get a dialog saying that the text has to be rasterized. Will this still happen if we upgrade to Elements 6?

    you could download the Elements trial and see for yourself, not very many people who use photoshop have Elements. You might get better answers in the Elements Forum where there are people who actually use Elements.

  • Can you Nudge Layers in InDesign like Photoshop CS5?

    Hello,
    I have been trying to find ways to nudge the InDesign layers by selecting the specific layer/layers in the layers pallete. At the moment, the only way I know to move the layers, is by selecting and clicking on the layer on the document itself. The issue was, that when I duplicate a group of layers, I could not just select the duplicated layers, but I had to select every component of the duplicated layers on top of the original layer, so I could not simply drag and drop a selection cursor.
    But the point being, is there any way to nudge the InDesign layers by selecting the specific layer/layers in the layers palette.
    Thanks

    Not exactly. You can't nudge the layers, but you can select all the objects on them (on a spread-by-spread basis) and move them all together. To do that click the small square to the right of the layer name, or Alt/Opt click the layer name itself.
    Layer in ID are more similar to layers in Illustrator than they are to Photoshop.

  • InDesign and Photoshop CS5 - so long

    Reduce the traffic on your network and don't download any large files over the network while it is downloading.  Beyond that it will depend on your connection to the Internet and your Internet Service Provider.

  • Interaction between InDesign and Flash CS5

    To all the InDesign/Flash users: I have a question for you...
    I've been asked something by a client: He would like to add a Google Analytics on a Flash file to track users. He cannot do it in the HTML ('cause he only creates the .swf file and doesn't have access to the HTML file), so he needs to do it in the .fla file. He has found the ActionScript code to do so, but there's a problem...
    From InDesign, he needs to export as .swf, because he wants to have the Page Curl effect (and I think some other features also) that he looses if he exports to .fla.
    The .swf alone works well. But as soon as we try to import it in Flash (in another .fla), it looses all it's attributes/codes and just import the layout (that keeps moving from page to page)...
    If I open it in a decompiler (SWF Decompiler), it shows me there is some ActionScript code, but even then, if I decompile it and export it as a .fla, when I open I loose all the interactions (like the imported .swf).
    It's the first time I see something like that. What does InDesign do to the .swf file? How can we solve that problem?
    Any help will be welcomed (I'm not a InDesign user...).

    Turn off the editable text option when importing the PSD into Flash to convert them to images. If keeping the text editable is important then you will have to re-create the look using Flash's life effects. It's a completely different thing from PS...

  • TIFF round trip between A3 and PS CS5

    Hello, I have one question that's been bugging me for the last few days.
    I set Aperture 3 to use 16 bit TIFF files for round tripping between A3 and Photoshop CS5. When PS opens it actually calls Camera Raw. I then open the file do the adjustments in PS and save the final image. However, when I go back to Aperture, Aperture does not update the preview of the final image. If I set Aperture to use PSD files the round trip works great, but with the PSD file I cannot invoke Camera Raw from within CS5 when using smart objects.
    Has anyone experienced this before? am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks!!!
    Mariano

    Photoshop in the normal course would not call Camera Raw for dealing with the TIFFs sent for external editing -- have you set something in Photoshop CS5 to cause all TIFFs to be opened that way?
    Since Aperture adjustments will do everything the camera raw display can to in Photoshop, it seems little benefit would come from then using the camera raw display in Photoshop for anything coming from Aperture for editing?
    I use TIFF as the format to send to PS CS5 for editing and all is working fine, btw.

  • Indesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 preferences installed as one.

    I have Indesign cs5 and adobe photoshop cs5 extended installed in my copmputer. I see those two programs as the largest installed applications in my computer. I just wonder that maybe some of the preferences of Indesign cs5 and photoshop cs5 are the same. I am thinking that these files are the reason why the two applications are very large.
    For example the Adobe Bridge cs5, i think that Adobe Bridge is installed two times in my computer. One from the installation of Indesign and one is from the Photoshop.
    I just want to know if there is a way to install the two applications having their preferences installed once and both applications could use them. I think in that way i can save a free space in my hard drive. Any help would be much appreciated.

    You cannot save space on your hard drive by combining portions of these programs, no.
    Their "preferences" take up a very small fraction of the space used by these programs.
    Furthermore, they already have an extensive set of common (shared) files that are used by both programs that are installed outside the program directories for each program.
    Under Windows, that is C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe. For Mac, /Library/Application Support/Adobe.
    But no.
    Also, hard drives are incredibly cheap. If you're worried about the size of these programs, you are doing something wrong and you're not going to be able to use them efficiently anyhow. In particular, effective use of photoshop needs many more times the size of the program in free space.
    It's probably time to go and out buy several hundred GB (or some TB) of space.

  • Compatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5.

    I am concerned about the possibility of incompatibility between Yosemite and Photoshop / Bridge CS5 so have delayed updating my Mac. Has anyone updated, experienced problems and found solutions? What does  Adobe have to say in this regard?

    I'm not sure I know enough to answer the question.
    The images are on my G5 on a second internal hard drive (not the boot drive).
    They are in a folder with a lot of images from the same shoot.
    That folder shows up in the Library in Aperture, also. I think I imported them. But, as best I can tell, they do not "only exist in Aperture" because I can see them, and their .xmp files in the original file on the second internal hard drive.
    Thank you so much for trying to help.

  • Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK?

    Can anyone tell me if you can back save from CS6 to CS5 Illustrator, Indesign and Photoshop OK? Want to upgrade to CS6 but must I must still remain compatible with work. They are using CS5.

    To clarify your answer for Illustrator.  The option is not in the "Save As" dialog box.
    The correct answer is
    Open you CS6 Illustrator file.
    File>Save As 
    The Save As dialog box opens
    Type your file name (DIFFERENT THAN ORIGINAL PLEASE!) and the Save as Type is still going to be Adobe Illustrator (*.AI)   **This is where the above instructions threw me, as the Save as type drop down does not list anything about versions to save fo)
    Click Save
    Once you click Save, the Illustrator Options dialog box will come up.  The first option is titled Version and has a drop down menu.  Select the version of illustrator you want to save your file as here, then click ok.
    Your done.
    I strongly suggest you give this file a different name than your original CS6 Illustrator version as you may lose some parts of your design in the conversion.
    Hope this helps.  Enjoy!

  • Color differences between Camera RAW 6.2 and Photoshop CS5

    Hi,
    I have got two problems:
    Everytime I open a raw file in Camera Raw, the picture is a bit darker than in Photoshop. The difference is very annoying...
    and, apart from that,
       2. The pictures in Adobe Bridge look much more saturated and darker than in Camera RAW or Photoshop. The result of my research was, that I have to go to "Edit -> Bridge Color Pre-Settings" and choose the right color-management. But when I klick on the button, it says that the function is something like deactivated. Someone said, I have to buy the entire Creative Suite to activate this function? Is that true?
    The color profile I work with: sRGB
    I already updated Bridge, Camera RAW and Photoshop. But the problem still exists...
    Does anyone know the problems and may help me?
    Thanks a lot!
    -Aldo

    Thanks for your replies.
    A few minutes ago I calibrated my display again. Now, the difference between ACR and Photoshop seems to be even greater.
    When the calibration was finished, the software offered a before/after-button (Before and after calibration). The "Before-image" was much more dark than the "after-image". Just as dark as the photo is in ACR(!).
    Maybe there's a connection. I think Photoshop uses the right profile (the profile generated by the Spyder2Express), but ACR uses some different wrong profile.
    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    Hmm, they should be the same.
    How did you calibrate your display?  Where did the display profile come from?
    The profile called "Spyder2express.icm" was saved in C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\color

  • Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

    Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
    I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100.  Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
    My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass?  When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening.  If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
    By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS.  I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
    Thanks for ideas.

    This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
    The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
    The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
    So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
    For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
    Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

  • Can't delete folder until I quit InDesign and Photoshop

    I'm sure this has been covered but I can't find it anywhere.
    I'm cleaning house; working in Windows Explorer on Windows 7. I look at files in InDesign CS5 and Photoshop CS5, close the files delete them but I can't delete the folder that contained them until I quit InDesign and Photoshop. I remember this from previous versions also.
    Is there a workaround?
    Thanks, Sidney

    I have that annoying problem too, have a look at this thread.  I haven't tried that fix because the trial doesn't work on deleting files, only copying and the website is terrible.

  • Layers palette disappears in photoshop cs5

    My layers palette disappears in photoshop cs5 (64 bit and 32) any time I click on another tab such as histogram or info. It also disappears after PS opens and CS live starts. The layers tab is still there but the layers themselves go away. I can get them back by clicking on the tab. A minor problem but is starting to get real aggravating as it disrupts workflow. I tried Ctrl+alt to reset. Doesn't help. Uninstalled Creative Suite Production Premium CS5 with the remove preference box checked at least 8 times as well as using the Adobe Creative Suite cleaner tool. I have gone as far as removing EVERYTHING Adobe on my machine and deleting every adobe reference in the registry, every file with the Adobe name on it. If it had Adobe on it it was deleted.Cleaned and defraged the drives and registry. My Premiere Pro also has problems with the start up screen. I just cannot get a clean install of CS5 no matter what I have done, short of wiping my hard drive. Any ideas?

  • Indesign and Illustrator CS5.5 crash on launch?

    Hi, since few days my Indesign and Illustrator (CS5.5 on OSX Lion) keep on crashing while launching. I de-installed and re-installed the entire CS5 Suite on my iMac already couple of times, but nothing changes. First I thought it might be a font problem, so I deleted all user fonts, but sadly this also didnt help. I already rang the Adobe tech support line but they are not very helpful at all... very frustrating. Anybody an idea what else I can do?

    Everytime I try to launch Indesign or Illustrator CS5.5 they start launching but then crash during launch with the comment "Programme quit unexpectedly". Strange thing is that Photoshop and all other CS5.5 Design Premium components are launching and working fine. I am working on the iMac 2.5GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 with 6MB with OSX Lion.
