Placing Photoshop images in other applications

Using Photoshop images in other applications
Photoshop provides a number of features to help you use images in other applications. Because of the tight
integration between Adobe products, many Adobe applications can directly import Photoshop (PSD) format files
and use Photoshop features like layers, layer styles, masks, transparency, and effects.
Prepare images for page-layout programs
How you prepare an image for a page-layout program depends upon the file formats the program recognizes:
• Adobe InDesign 2.0 and later can place Photoshop PSD files. You do not need to save or export your Photoshop
image to a different file format. Transparent areas are displayed and printed as expected.
• Most other page-layout programs require you to save the image as a TIFF or EPS file. However, if the image
contains fully transparent areas, you must first define those areas using a clipping path. Check the documentation
for your page-layout program to determine the best format for importing Photoshop images.
