Exporting from InDesign to Photoshop

Nov 19th, 2011 by Max Tokman

There's an Apple Script that does a wonderful job, http://www.zenodesign.com/forum/PageToPSLayersV3.zip

 

 

Another solution is an eight step process for converting InDesign artwork to Photoshop format, which is what is ultimately used in web production.

 

 

1. Open the .idd file in InDesign


2. Export from InDesign as EPS


3. Open the EPS file in Illustrator


4. In Illustrator's "Layers" palette, click on the single layer which houses all the artwork and click "Release to Layers (Build)"


5. Move the newly formed layers to the same level as original layer


6. Adjust the layered artwork as necessary to match the original .idd file


7. Export from Illustrator as Photoshop, with layers preserved.


8. Open in Photoshop and edit as necessary
