Photoshop file to indesign

I made a a 8 x 11 inch photo in photoshop. but when i save it to .jpg and copy paste it to indesign the image got smaller.
what is the right way for me to make a photo in photoshop and save it and if I use it on indesign the size should be the same?

Save it preferably in a non-destructive format (tif for example) and in Indesign use File > Place
Copy/pasting images from Photoshop into Indesign is better avoided if one takes these issues seriously.

How does one convert a photoshop file into inDesign and maintain edibility??

I have an entire print file done by another person in Photoshop but would like to convert it into inDesign for fluidity. 1st of all, is that the best scenario? 2nd, is that a possibility? I've begun working with the files in inDesign by creating Photoshop PDF files for it to be linked to; however, that keeps all of the editing within Photoshop. And I would like to have the entire document in inDesign only. This is my dilemma, can anyone offer advice?
Thank you!
K.D.

You can't convert Photoshop to editiable InDesign (though there is a plugin from RecoSoft that claims to make editable ID files from PDF: http://www.recosoft.com/products/pdf2id/).
About the best you can hope for is to leave pixel information in the Photoshop file (where it really belongs) and place that into an ID document, then set any type in ID.

Can you open Photoshop files in InDesign?

Is it possible to open a file which is created by Indesign ?

Hello.
I'm not at my CS6 suite right now. But I would guess PS could not open an ID file in an editable way. You can try saving your ID project out as a PDF, then Photoshop should be able to open it rasterized (if multi-page, each page would become a separate PS document.) But vector and text would be rendered as pixels.

Editing Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6

I need to edit a Photoshop CS6 file using InDesign CS6. Specifically, I am editing a business card and want to make changes to the layered components (for example: changing color hues, changing logo, changing fonts) and I know nothing about InDesign. Can anyone give me some pointers?

The thing is, I don’t have Photoshop or Illustrator; I only have InDesign CS6 and I want to do the following:
Deepen the colors
Swap the logo for another one
Change the font
I am not able to access the layers because I used the place function to insert the jpeg file in the InDesign document. I remember once being able to access the layered document, but I don't remember how. I tried opening the Photoshop file using InDesign, but it doesn't come up as a readable file.

How to import a PSD file into Indesign WITH layers so it can be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

How to import a Photoshop file into Indesign CS6 so that it's layers show in InDesign and it can then be edited/saved as an InDesign file?

MyTienN wrote:
Someone had mentioned the possibility of saving each individual layer in Photoshop as a png file and importing into Indesign and adjusting it in there
What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.

Damaged file causes InDesign to crash and I can not open it now?

I was working on a document and tried to use the eye dropper tool to select a color for a box I was going to use.
I accidentally clicked on a placed vector image box and the document closed and InDesign quit.
After doing some searching online, it was recommended to find the recovery file and delete it from my system, however, I can't find exactly where it is.
I wound up deleting several items from the cashe file, but that didn't work.
I did an "uninstall" of InDesign and then installed a new version. That did not work either.
Where I am now...I can open InDesign and create a new document, but every time I try to open either the damaged file or the previous year file (which should not be damaged), InDesign crashes.
i.e. - The file that crashed was the 2015 version of my document. I went to archived versions of that particular document (2014 and also 2013 versions) and they all crashed.
(The files were all named different, based on the year created).
Help!

Emptying the recovery folder makes sense to me....as far as the plugins, font manager, I'm not sure if that would be the problem.
Of course, at this point, I'm striking out. I don't know how or what to do about plugins...do you have specific directions?
Because of the deadline, I'm having to start over on my project. I think instead of building the pages in InDesign, I'll build in Photoshop and place the Photoshop files into InDesign.
I can't remember ever having this problem and I've used InDesign for many years. I am on the monthly plan and have the latest versions of everything.

Photoshop File with Layered Set to Multiply Not Honored in InDesign CS3

I am placing a PSD file from Photoshop CS3, that has a reflection/shadow layer set to Multiply with an additional layer of the model set to Normal within Photoshop. When I place this PSD in InDesign CS3, the Multiply inside of the Photoshop file is not honored.
Is this Normal Behavior?
Thanks

Hey all,
I've encountered this same problem in CS3, and for the life of me, I thought I remember in CS2 that the layers were indeed honored--hence the advantage of using native PSD files in InDesign. This was so any effects (transparency or otherwise) would be carried over in the InDesign file, therefore removing the limitations of using legacy formats like TIFF or EPS, which did not allow this type of dynamic workflow.
Give us your thoughts on this, as it has hindered a couple of jobs in CS3 which required the effects exactly as explained above by the OP.
Thanks!

Really wierd stains when inserting photoshop files into my indesign document

Dear Indesigners,
I had encountered this problem before. Then I exported the file as JPEG and printed from there on.
But now it really bothers me what adobe is doing.
I am creating a birthcard. There for I designed the background (in indesign with simple lines & circles). Photo with ribbon I designed in photoshop. The circle pattern around the picture is also in Indesign.
Whenever I print this file from indesign I get really wierd stains on my Photoshop part of the document. You can verify this in the attachment.
If I export this and print from there, the stains are nowhere to be seen.
Is this some weird setting that I have looked over? The Photoshop document is in CMYK format.
This is the export file:
This is the scanned, printed file (increased contrast)

I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru eit

I used a Photoshop file as my background for a brochure in InDesign CS6 and when I print it thru either InDesign or via exporting it as a pdf it always has a white border. How can I eliminate this? I was on the phone with a tech for an hour and fifteen minutes. The answer I was given is that InDesign places white borders automatically. Need help, the white borders do not coincide with a mostly black background.

I am not certain you understood the technical support person from wherever you shought help.
ID will simply output what you tell it to. If you have designed a brochure that has a bleed and your PS file extends into the bleed, and you output a PDF with the correct settings, and send it to a service bureau (not certain about instyprint) that can print that size with bleeds, then trim it to size...phew. Seems like a run-on sentance there.
As for printing to the edge of a piece of paper on a local printer that supports it, you need to set up the printer to do so. At least that's how it has worked with the borderless printers I have used.
If you need an inexpensive brochure printed, try Quantum Digital. As long as you design it to their specs, it is a quick turn, the printing is fine for most inexpensive jobs, and they are pretty inexpensive. Offset quality they are not.
But your file better be constructed properly.
Take care, Mike

Are photoshop file format plug-ins supported by the InDesign SDK?

If not, is it possible to read new file formats into InDesign? Thanks,
Rob

I'm trying to import NITF image files. I already have a photoshop file format plugin that can read these images and was hoping that it could (somehow) be used to import images into InDesign as well. It appears as if this is definitely NOT possible.
My use case is that I'd like to read a NITF image into Photoshop. The images I deal with are typically single channel 16 bit images. I'd like to then use Photoshop to process the image (e.g., brighten certain parts of the histogram and/or crop the image). I'd then like an easy way to get the image into InDesign. My initial thought was to use a function that could just pass it over, but it appears as if that is not possible.
It looks like I'll either have to figure out if cutting/pasting is acceptable and, if not, save the image to disk and re-read it. Next I must find answers to these questions:
a) Does the InDesign's SDK API provide the ability add to the list of supported image types that can be imported?
b) Does InDesign's SDK API provide the ability to create new document save types?
c) Does it make any sense to use a 16 bit/channel image in InDesign? I notice that it can read a 16 bit tiff file, but there doesn't appear to be any photoshop like controls to adjust the visible dynamic range.
Thank you all for your help!

Opening InDesign and Photoshop files

Why can't I see any .indd or .psd files in my Gallery (Android)? I know they're there - can see them in my file manager.

Hi NeithLeigh
The native Gallery app is meant for just standard image formats and does not support product specific formats, not even Adobe products. If you have InDesign or Photoshop files you wanted to import into Adobe Debut; the best way to do so is to upload your .psd and .indd files to the Adobe Creative Cloud Files website https://creative.adobe.com/ from your desktop and then import them into Adobe Debut on your tablet through the Creative Cloud option.

Can an illustrator or photoshop file be exported into InDesign?

Hi,
I need someone to create a layout for me & he doesn't know InDesign, only Illustrator or Photoshop.
Once he's done the work, can int then be imported into InDesign if I want someone else to make changes to it in InDesign?
Thanks

Yip, Placing via File, Place is how you import AI and PS files into InDesign but cannot be edited. They will be linked into InDesign though so the edits can be made using AI or PS and they will update in ID.
If it is a simple drawing made in AI, without any special or AI specific effects applied, then you can sometimes copy and paste from AI to ID and then you can edit it in ID, otherwise it will paste as an embedded EPS.

Using Photoshop layers in InDesign?

Hi all, I'm having much more difficulty finding a solution than I thought I would. Any help is greatly appreciated! I have a designer that has put a magazine spread together in Photoshop. It has the background, graphics, and text. I'm looking to place or import the psd file into InDesign and have the layers be available. I know that I can turn the visibility on and off, but I want to be able to use InDesign to modify the text that was a text layer in the psd file, and to move individual layers around without needing to go into Photoshop each time. With all the propaganda on Adobe's site about integration, I thought this would be easy to accomplish so I'm probably missing something obvious.
To save people looking for the same answer in the future from reading unnecessary posts, let me just state:
Yes, I did search other forums and yes, I did Google it
I know I can edit it in Photoshop and update the link in InDesign, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish
I know Photoshop isn't desktop publishing software, but let's pretend
TIA for any help. BTW, using CS6.

There could be plugin or script to achieve this but can't be done natively with InDesign and Photoshop.
You could suggest this to be Feature request :- https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Why can't I preview indd files within InDesign's open file dialog box?

Hello all,
It is bad enough that Adobe doesn't add a plugin to preview any Adobe source file within Windows Explorer (well, except for PDF but I think Microsoft did that).
But I find it ridiculous that I cannot preview .indd source files inside InDesign's Open File dialog box. It just states, "No preview available". I am sure this failure is tied into what Windows can preview... still, not a good excuse!
This is also the same problem in both Illustrator and Photoshop.... neither Adobe program can preview their own file format!
WHY? OR How can I correct this?
[UPDATE: SageThumbs | SourceForge.net seems to partially work on many Photoshop files (works reasonably well as long as I limit the file size to 70mb), it doesn't seem to work on Illustrator files (despite the claim), and it doesn't work on InDesign.]
Still, the question remains, why isn't Adobe taking responsibility for this?

I think you all misunderstood.
I am referring to opening files *within* the Adobe software. Example: Inside InDesign, I click File > Open... I see a list of my .indd files and to the right is a window with the words, "Select a file to preview." If I select an .indd file, I think it is reasonable to assume that I will see a preview of the .indd file... but NO, I just see the message, "No preview available."
In my opinion, this is a failing of Adobe!
> Use bridge
Why would I want to open a separate program just to see thumbnails? Sure Bridge has its uses when I want to look at a lot of different images but I am only talking about quickly seeing a thumbnail before I open a single file within either InDesign, Photoshop, or Illustrator.
Q. If Bridge can render thumbnails, why on Earth would Adobe not place the preview code into the open file dialog of each program?
