InDesign Notes

Notes:
When working in photoshop, some layers can be transparent, to build up type and images, these layers can still be preserved in InDesign if saved as a PSD file. 
When saving as a TIFF file, he transparency is no longer apparent.
In Photoshop - double click on the background in tool to to change layer to transparency layer (layer 0).
In photoshop select image (cut out with selection tool) then invert. - File, save as, PSD, (check layers box)
Because in commercial printing, TIFF files are older, and do not support layers.
Place in InDesign, image selected, go to text wrap palette, options for layout (wrap around box, object shape, alpha channels etc).
