Switch Indesign file into Photoshop

How do i transfer a indesign file into photoshop. i thought you used bridge to do something like this but im not sure? ive tried placing the indesign file into photoshop using bridge but it says the open options are incorrect. help?

ive tried placing the indesign file into photoshop using bridge but it says the open options are incorrect.
To my knowledge this is not possible, you can't place a .indd (InDesign file type) in PS nor open a InDesign document in PS because it does not support it. What you can do is the other way round, you can use Bridge to place a photoshop document or image in to an InDesign document. Most user do this via the MiniBridge panel in ID.

  • Problem loading .orf files into photoshop

    I have CC on both an iMac and a MacBook Pro
    .orf files will load into photoshop on the iMac but not on the MacBook Pro.  A popup appears which states need to update for latest RAW files.  I have run and installed the latest update but without success.  Since updating I've tried switching off and back on but with no success.
    What do I do next?

    Thanks partial success
    ACR was 8.3.  I've uploaded version 8.6 using the link provided and now able to read files into photoshop but
    1. Mini bridge does not show thumbnails only a place holder with no image
    2. The version on the iMac is 8.4 which I will also update but on both computers clicking on product update on Apple menu did not show the latest ACR update.  How can I arrange for auto updates without continually checking using the above link whether an update is available.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" fails to complete CS6

    Hi all,
    Hoping someone can help with the folling problem with Photoshop & Bridge CS6
    When in Bridge, after selecting 6 images (CR2) using the command TOOLS>LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS the first file will load into Photoshop, Photoshop will then generate a second blank layer and then read the second file. At this point the "script" will stop. I am left with a document with 2 layers. The top layer has my first image, the bottom layer is empty.
    At this point when I quit Photoshop I am prompted to save this open document which appears to be the only open document. I choose not to save this as a file. I then get a dialogue box prompting to save another open document. Photoshop has loaded the second file to place as a layer but as the "script" has aborted I am left with an open, but invisible file.
    When I first loaded CS6 on Snow Leopard, it would demonstrate this behaviour every time I attempted to run this command from Bridge.
    I did a clean install on a blank HDD of OSX Lion. Installed CS6. The command worked without fail for about a month.
    Then I would get the command aborting occasionally. Restarting Photoshop would let me continue for a few hours before this aborted script problem would happen again.
    Over the last week it has become more frequent, to a point where this workflow is unusable.
    A restart of Photoshop may fix the problem for the next batch of images, only to fail again soon after, or fail on the first attempt after a relaunch of Photoshop.
    A reboot of my computer will allow my to load one or two sets of files before again failing to complete the command.
    I have tried the following:
    In Photoshop preferences:
    disabling the "Use graphics Processor"
    Increasing or decreasing the amount of RAM available to Photoshop
    Changing the cache levels or changing the cache tile size
    changing the scratch disk
    Trashing the Photoshop preferences file (Photoshop Settings.psp)
    In Bridge
    Purging the cache
    Increasing or decreasing the cache size
    Resetting Bridge preferences (holding Command on launch) and deleting all cache files.
    In general system
    Quitting extra programs (Safari, Thunderbird, iTunes)
    Sometimes this will seem to then allow Photoshop to load a full set of images, only to abort again after a few sets.
    Rebooting the computer - again will work for a few images sets before again failing.
    Now the fact that it worked fine for several weeks without presenting a problem would indicate that it is not a bug.
    The fact that is slowly started happening then became more frequent would indicate something changing slowly over time - a larger cache folder perhaps, although purging known Bridge cache folders has not filed the problem.
    Really at the end of my tether here. Even considering downgrading to CS5 - but don't want to have to use the older Adobe Camera Raw.
    System is as follows:
    Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 Quad Core
    24GB RAM
    ATI Radeon HD 4870 512
    OSX Lion 10.7.4
    I have seen a couple of others have posted having a the same problem, both with CS5 and CS6.
    Hoping someone has an answer.
    Thanks.

    Hi JJMack - I just re-read your post. For some reason I thought you were suggesting to make sure "Open documents in Tabs" was selected, it was. Now I realize you were suggesting to turn it off! As another attemp to solve this problem I did de-select it today. Seemed to work for a good while. I was getting very excited, then, on the last set of images I had to do it displayed the same problem. But, it did go for quite a while without failing, and when it did I was thrashing about trying to make another app active. When loading documents like this - with "Open documents in Tabs" de-selected, Photoshop wants to put the loading images as the front-most window, no matter what other apps (Bridge, email, web etc) I click on in the dock. I think it is related to the bug you described effecting the "load files to stack" command.
    Hopefully Adobe is looking at this - mind you, I have read reports of people having this problem in CS5! Looks like that was never resolved sadly.
    I'll keep testing and post back.
    I am looking to upgrade my video card to see if it's a video memory thing.
    What is very weird though is the fact that this problem didn't present itself until after several weeks of working with this command with no problem. No additional apps installed, nothing changed. Why would it start happening only after a while?
    Thanks again for your suggestion.

  • Joining multiple inDesign files into one, can you solve this?

    OK so basically I work at a magazine, the creative's all work on separate spreads so all the inDesign files consist of between 1 and 10 pages then usually they are all spat out in there sets of PDF's and sent to the printers.
    Now I want to do an online addition of the magazine with the new SWF export feature in inDesign CS4 but I'm wondering how can you easily compile all of the separate inDesign files into one so that it can spit out one single swf with all 200 pages with the page peel effect?
    Is there even a way without a mass of work of manually adding all the pages into one file, that would be absolutely humongous? Anyone with any suggestions how to make this process the simplist and with the least amount of labout would be an absoulute legend, I have little time to spend on this which sucks so looking for the best and fastest possible way that we could do it each month.
    Cheers

    I migth have a kind of solution for you. I have made a solution named eDocBrowser. (I called it Magazine Browser in earlier threads here and couple of other forums). It´s a collection of files that you publish with you SWF-files you have exported from InDesign. With eDocBrowser, you can put several SWF-files together and end-user can use them almost as one single SWF. Heres little demo I made just few minutes ago.
    http://www.prepress.fi/eDocBrowser/
    There are 3 SWF-files, all of them exported from InDesign. They are originally separate indd-files. When you reach last page of Document1, small arrow appears, and text "Jump to next file" and name of the next file too. You can go there also by using next-button at the bottom right corner, one that you use normaly to go next page. Same kind of arrow appears also when you are in first page of document 2 or 3 etc... with it you can go back to earlier documents last page etc... All the documents can be seen also in a drop-down menu at top of the screen. Labels of that menu are customizable.
    Theres also a zoom. When you clic zoom+ button, your cursor changes to magnifying glass. With zoom- you can go back to normal view.
    Additional features are FullScreen-view, Printing current spread and customizing user interface, buttons and logo at the top-left corner. Text search is very exprerimental and requires indd-file indexing with script we have made too. It indexes every single word in indd-document to XML-file and put pagenumbers there too. eDocBrowser searches that XML-file and gives all the hits to small result window. Hits are also links to page where they point...Search is not in use with this demo..
    There is a small help-section in top-right corner...
    We also have a script called eDocMaker. It does everything for you. You just have to have indd-files in one folder. Script asks location of that folder when you run it. It also askes you which resolution you want to use with images, anything goes between 72-2400 (72ppi is indesign´s default resolution for SWF-export, using bigger resolution might cause bigger SWF-files, but images look better when zoomed)
    Price of the single licence of eDocBrowser will be 80euros (aprx. 100dollars). With it you may install one copy of eDocBrowser into your server and use as many SWF-files there as you want. There is no search feature in single version.
    Price of unlimited licence is 300euros (aprx.400dollars) With it you may install as many copies of eDocBrowser as you like. With it you also get all the indesign scripts including eDocMaker with resolution booster, search indexer etc. + goodies like user interface and button templates, indesign effect (3D spine graphic etc)....
    Product is about ready, we are just setting up a place to sell it. Now it seems that we are going to use a service called payloadz.com....

  • How do I convert an InDesign file into a PDF file, it won't let me do it when I 'Save As'. Help??

    I need help with converting an InDesign file into a PDF file.
    I've tried looking into the program and seeing if i can do it, but it is not giving me the option.
    I need to be able to do this for work purposes.
    Please help.

    Try Exporting. There are also number of useful Export PDF presets that come with design.
    What do you want to do with the PDF?

  • How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.

    How can I process a Sony A7 RAW file into Photoshop CS5.  I tried the file DNG converter 8.3, but it did not work.  I was able to download it, but upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5, it reads the jpg files fine, but not the RAW files.  I thought the DNG converter 8.3 was the right file, but apparently it is not.  Perhaps I need to do something in Photoshop CS5 to initiate it, or place it in a particular directory.. Please help.

    First of all, you should have used the Adobe DNG Converter 8.6, not an old, obsolete version.  Always use the very latest version.  8.3 was simply the first ACR version to support your camera model, that's all.
    Note that the DNG Converter works only on folders, not on individual raw files.  Put all your Sony raw files in a folder and run the Converter on that folder containing the raw files.
    I have absolutely no clue as to what on Earth you mean by : "upon reading the memory chip from Photoshop CS5".
    You also need to make sure that CS5 is fully updated.  You cannot rely on the highly and notoriously unreliable Adobe auto updater to tell whether you have the latest update installed or not.
    I still have no idea what platform you are on, Mac or Windows. Please read the following for next time:
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
    A screen shot could be very helpful too.

  • MISALIGNMENT PROBLEMS USING "LOAD FILES INTO PHOTOSHOP LAYERS" FROM BRIDGE CC

    I'm having a persistent problem which technical support was unable to resolve after being on the phone with them for 1.5 hrs. I was told the issue would be escalated... That was five days ago, and I've heard nothing.
    Here is the problem: In ACR working on a bracketed group of five images shot from a solid tripod in Bridge CC. I carefully synchronize all parameters incl. crop, transform, exposure, etc. Then I go to Tools / Photoshop / Load files into Photoshop layers, and the images open in photoshop in a layered file..., BUT some are knocked out of alignment. Actually they have been cropped slightly smaller than the original file, always by the same number of pixels. Sometimes all layers are affected, sometimes not.
    Photoshop CC & Bridge CC are both up to date, as is the camera raw plugin. I’m on a new iMac i7 4-core, OSX 10.9.4. All software was newly downloaded from Adobe two weeks ago. I have reset preferences, reset tools in Photoshop, even uninstalled and reinstalled Bridge CC 6.1.0.115 all to no avail. Any suggestions? I am desperate for some help.

    I run Windows 7 Ultimate, I have 2.00GB of RAM with 1.74 usable, and I selected 40 images, each about 2MB.

  • Adobe Bridge CC 'Tools Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' missing from menu.

    Hi,
    After updated to bridge CC the 'Tools > Load Files Into Photoshop Layers' has simply disappeared from the menu! Is there a plug in that I'm missing or is this something similar to how the Output module works, where you have to install the files manually?
    Thank You

    I uninstalled all Adobe products -> reboot -> reinstall; which didn't work.
    So I had to uninstall all Adobe products again, then use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner, reboot & reinstall everything again; then it finally worked.
    This seems to be a regular thing since the introduction of Adobe CC, almost every new update or new versions breaks functionality & requires a complete uninstall -> reinstall process.

  • "Load files into Photoshop layers" completely missing from Bridge CS6

  • Problems placing ai and eps files into PhotoShop CS3 on a Mac

    When I place any ai or eps file into PhotoShop using File > Place, the images are pixelated. It does not matter if the PhotoShop file size is 72 dpi or 300 dpi, the end result is still the same.
    Placing images used to work a few days ago, and now all of a sudden it does not. Are there any settings that may have been changed?

    I can’t reproduce the problem, but as with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program.

  • Why while in Bridge Load Files into photoshop Layers does not work?

    In Bridge, Tools>Photoshop>Load Files into Photoshop Layers does not work.  I have two images selected and when I execute that comman in Bridge nothing happens.  I exited and restarted both PS and Bridge and still nothing.  I am working in Windows 7 and Photoshop cs6.

    No I tried File/scripts/load file into stack and still did not work.
    There was an update to bridge and now it works.  Thanks so much.

  • Load Files into Photoshop Layers hanging...

    I have both Bridge CS5 4.0.4.2 and Photoshop CS5 12.0.2 x64 open and running on a MacBookPro... when I highlight a few files inside of Bridge CS5, then go to Tools, Photoshop, Load Files Into Photoshop Layers, when those files start opening in Photoshop and stacking as Layers, the process just hangs and stops processing after the first Layer is placed - any ideas why this happens, or just a bug? Thank you!

    any ideas why this happens, or just a bug?
    As I can’t reproduce the issue so I would assume it’s not a bug per se.
    Have you tried trashing prefs for Photoshop (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed)?
