Photoshop
for Print
1 Choose color mode
and resolution
When determining a color mode
for a Photoshop image, consider
the printing specifications of the
design project in which the image
will be used. Photoshop supports
a variety of printing modes, from
standard CMYK to Duotone and
Spot Color processes.

These color modes can then
be separated and printed from
both InDesign and Illustrator.
Make sure to check the resolution
of your Photoshop file, as well.
It should be at least two times
greater than the line screen,
at the size it will be printed.
Bitmap images may require a
higher resolution.
Photoshop files are key elements of many types of printed
materials. The robust press-ready tools allow for flexible use
of these files in a variety of print scenarios.
2 Import into a layout
You can either place or embed
Photoshop images into
Illustrator or InDesign as
part of a print layout.
Placing a file creates a link to
the native file and allows you
to control the visibility of layers
and layer comps.
Illustrator layout
Embedding a file writes all image
information into the Illustrator
or InDesign file directly.
Both Illustrator and InDesign
give you the ability to place layer
comps from Photoshop. InDesign
lets you select layer comps and
show/hide layers without having
to return to Photoshop or alter
the PSD file.
