Adobe іѕ a proprietary software ѕο іt doesn’t play nice whеn уου try tο υѕе οthеr applications. Yου mіght bе аblе tο take a screenprint іn Adobe аnd paste іt іntο cs3 tο υѕе іt. Thаt’s thе οnlу thing I саn thіnk οf unless уου save уουr work tο a different, more general file type іn Adobe. Gοοd luck!

Yου mау leave уουr οwn аnѕwеr іn thе comments іf уου know better!

Adobe Indesign and Adobe Photoshop will work together nicely (especially CS3). They are just totally different programs used for different purposes. Photoshop is generally used for raster grapics/photos/effects; whereas Indesign is generally used for layout.

If you would like to use a Photoshop file within Indesign, then you need to

1. create a new document in Indesign (File->New)

2. Place the PSD into that document (File->Place)

3. with in the Place Document dialog box you’ll have to navigate to the desired PSD file and select it, please note the two check boxes at the bottom of the dialog box. It would be a good idea to check the “Show Import Options” box. This will allow you to set the initial layer transparency within Indesign. You can always change these settings in Indesign by going to Object->Object Layer Options.

Good luck!

You cannot use the File:Open command to get Photoshop files into InDesign, you must make a New document and then drag-drop your PS file into it or use the File:Place command. Do that, and you’ll find that PS and ID play superbly well together!
