- Hi, I'm David Blatner, the co-host of InDesign Secrets.com. And this is InDesign Insider Training: Working with Photoshop and Illustrator. Designers and production artists like me often live inside these three Adobe programs, constantly switching back and forth. And so it's critical to make these apps work together in harmony. In this course, I'm going to step you through everything you need to know, from the basics of saving files and placing them into your InDesign documents, to when you should use copy and paste, and more importantly, when you shouldn't.
I'll show you how to manage transparency and layers and how to get the best output by choosing the right files formats and workflows. Whether you create documents for print or screen, these tips will save you time and increase the quality of your work. I've been using InDesign since 1999, and Photoshop and Illustrator for over two decades. So, come along with me, and get the insider story on working with Photoshop and Illustrator.
