Typography in Photoshop is horrid, I’ll be frank. It can be great for adding backgrounds or images that require this type of editing and precision. Referring back to the list above, Photoshop is best used for photo retouching / manipulations, 3D effects / rendering, texture, shading, and depth. Here are some suggestions about when to link files between these 3 programs: If you need to make edits to your Photoshop background, it can be updated in your InDesign document with one click. You can drop that image into your IND document as a linked file, then add your text over the top, for a crystal clear, seamless cover design. For example, the background of a book cover design could be a detailed rendering of photos, shading, and texture created in Photoshop. Any updates you make to your PSD or AI file will be updated on your IND file. The best part about linked files? It keeps your overall file size down for your IND document. Linked files are simply outside files that are directly linked to your IND file, but remain independent as well. Photoshop and Illustrator can integrate into InDesign via linked files. A common question I get about InDesign, is how does it relate to Photoshop and Illustrator? A lot of designers seem to know that they can work together, but they’re not sure how.
