Hi,
I have a new Mac Book Air and want now to import a psb file into InDesign by using command+D function.

When doing so I can´t choose the psb files but only jpeg and others.
On Windows it is possible, does anybody know how to solve this?

Thanks!

Hi @Anne26161258femd , Try dragging and dropping the .PSB from either the Finder or Bridge:

Save as TIFF and import that. PSB is not supported under every condition in InDesign.

Hi Willi,

I disagree. PSB is supported. Nothing bad will happen if you find a way to place or import a PSB file.

On Windows, one could use the Place dialog and reset the filter for files to *.* so PSB files are visible while placing, on Mac and Windows one could drag a PSB file to the layout from Finder or file Explorer.

The real issue here might be importing files of the scale that PSB is meant to handle. InDesign tends to develop a lot of quirks when placing larger and larger image files, and if these are PSB to get around the 2GB limit, well... I'd start by questioning why such enormous files need to be placed in ID at all.
