Is there a way to import the TIF into Photoshop with it's transparent background intact? Marc What you're describing is normal. A Bitmap Tiff placed into InDesign will have a transparent background. If you open it in Photoshop, the background will be white. You can edit the file by changing the image from Bitmap > Grayscale. If your edits and only black and white (i.e. no grayscale), change the image to Bitmap after editing it and it will still be transparent in InDesign. Why do you want the TIFF, in Photoshop, to have a transparent background?
