Editing images

[danielaf2810]

Hello,

while working with Id (CC 2107, Window 2010), how can I edit images in Ps or Ai? I have tried with:

right click

edit with (PS in that case)

open, worked on the image

BUT ones I tried to save it, it didn't apply/update automatically the changing in Id, instead I was supposed to save the new version ot the image and upload again in Id.

Could you please help?

Thank you for helping, I really appreciate it.

If you saved it as a new version you would have re-place that new file. If you just saved the file then yes, it should update the link once you return to InDesign.

Thank you, but I didn't solve my problem, I just save the changes and the system save it as a new picture...

What kind of image is it? What kind of editing are you doing?

If you’re opening a JPG and adding layers or other items not compatible with JPG then yes, Photoshop will save it as a PSD by default.

so, what image format should I use when working with Id, to make sure that if a change is needed to the image I can easily edit it in Ps (not using Ai yet) and the change will get automatically done also in Id?

sorry, but is also a few days I am on Id...and a beginner with Adobe...)-:

Than you

Use native PSD files and AI files from Illustrator and you should not have these issues.

thank you, it works...!

could you please tell me where do I find the following?

"Option-Double-click with one of the selection tools"

Thank you very much!

You don't find it anywhere. You just do it.

Hold the opt key down (alt on Windows) and double click the graphic.

You shouldn't have replace the file. After the save does it show as modified (yellow triangle) in the Links panel.

right click

Have you tried Option-Double-click with one of the selection tools? That should also open the placed file.
