Photoshop has ties with other Adobe Software for media editing, animation, and authoring. The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality.

How do you change psd to indesign format?

You can't change a PSD file into an INDD file because the INDD format isn't an image format - they're text files. To incorporate the image into the InDesign project, you have to perform a Place (File - Place) to put the image into the ID project. The image file then becomes a part of the overall ID file when it's saved, but it isn't changed to the ID format. InDesign links to the image file for both project presentation and printing purposes.

How do you make a CSS template from a PSD file?

At present Photoshop does not support CSS when rendering a .psd file to HTML. The only way to use a .psd in web design is to create the image you want displayed (navigation and all) and to then "slice" it in Photoshop. A great tutorial on this is the div tutorial at this site: [http://celestial-star.net] Once you have created the sliced table of images, CSS can then be hard coded to replace the table, this task though would be a challenge for an expert CSS writer. you can also import that PSD file into fireworks and slice in in fireworks and export it as CSS and images
