Photoshop Files

File Type: Raster & Vector Image

Adobe Photoshop files are generally written and read by Photoshop, however, there are several other applications that will read this format. Most page layout applications (except Adobe InDesign), do not allow native Photoshop images to be placed.

A Photoshop file will retain all of the original fileês attributes. Saved file characteristics include the following:

• Resolution
• Color space (CMYK, RGB, grayscale)
• Spot color channels
• Image bit depth

In order to use Photoshop Files, you must first convert them to a TIFF.
