Layer Comps and InDesign

As a designer, you should take advantage of InDesign’s Object Layer options, which allow you to control layer visibility—including layer comps—in placed PSDs (but not layered TIFFs). With InDesign, you can access layer comps upon import, or at any time after the image is placed. To access a layer comp when placing an image into an InDesign document, perform the following steps:
1. Import the PSD into your InDesign document by using the File --> Place command (F/Ctrl+D). To access the Image Import Options dialog box, enable Show Import Options before clicking Open.
2. Click the Layers tab at the top of the dialog box to access the Layers panel. In the Layer Comp section of the panel, choose a layer comp from the drop-down list provided. Any layer comp comments that were saved in the PSD are displayed in the window beneath the Layer Comp list.
3. Click OK to place the PSD in the document. To display a different layer comp after the PSD is placed, choose Object --> Object Layer Options. In the resulting dialog box, select a different layer comp from the drop-down list. Select the Preview option to view your changes in the document as you make them. When you’ve finished, click OK to close the dialog box and apply your changes.
