Summary

If you work with publishing-oriented graphics formats EPS, PDF, Illustrator, TIFF, and Photoshop created by mainstay programs like Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, Corel Photo-Paint, and Macromedia FreeHand, you'll likely have no difficulties importing graphics into or printing graphics from InDesign. But be sure to stick with common color models, particularly CMYK and Pantone.

And it's best to do any special effects in your graphics program InDesign has limited abilities to manipulate graphics beyond layout-oriented functions like resizing, cropping, flipping, slanting, and text wrap. To ease access to your graphics programs, InDesign CS now lets you open them from within InDesign.
