indesign brushes????

[inquestflash]

hello forumers.

is there a way to get ps brushes into indesign?aint it a great disadvantage for indesign not to have brushes for some extra designing.i notice there is a pencil....

but brushes for sure are more essential for designing a few extra nice looking pages.

thank you

Short answer: nope.

Long answer: this ain't Indeshopastrator!    Do it in P'shop and place it in Indesign....

maybe it will be a feature for cs6

thanks

Well it would be quite nice but don't hold your breath.  Even a few more arrow heads would be cool but I'm expecting most of the focus to be on e publishing.

InDesign is not Photoshop, nor is it Illustrator.

Better stop using tranparencys and effects then - it is a fair question and probably the next legical step for adobe.

Then why not leave InDesign as it is and make both Photoshop and Illustrator "better" instead?

[Lionelhart]

Ok. While we're at it - let's go back to using Quark as well.

Come on guys - who honestly dislikes the convergence of indesign into Photoshop and Illustrator territory? For me it is a definite time saver and mostly produces great results.

To the extent that it distracts the InDesign team from the core features of InDesign that we need, it is a problem.

And it's really hard to assess how much it does, but I think it is probably significant. How many times has InDesign crashed for me in the past day? It's non-zero but I can count it on two hands. But I would like that not to happen.

it's not a stupid question I was wondering the same thing cuz I need to annotate work I cant print off and moving everything into photoshop would take too long
