Knowing how to place and access a native Photoshop (PSD) file in an InDesign or QuarkXPress document will allow you to take further advantage of your access to its components. You can also learn how to simplify your PSD images after you are satisfied with their content. Here is an outline of the steps you should follow to place, access, and simplify a PSD file in an InDesign or QuarkXPress document:
1. Place your PSD file in an InDesign or QuarkXPress document page.
2. Access the various image components in your PSD image file and change their visibility to suit your design needs. This can be done in InDesign by using the Object Layer Options dialog box. In QuarkXPress, you would use the PSD Import palette.
3. After you’ve decided how you would like the image to print in your layout, reopen it in Photoshop and flatten the content of your PSD document. Then save a copy of it in a much simpler, easy-to-print format, such as TIFF, leaving the layered PSD file in all its editable glory.
4. Relink the new simplified TIFF to your final print document.
