Hello, I use photoshop cs2. Are you able to open Indesign files in CS3? I am considering upgrading.

Not normally. If they are saved as PDF you could...

Two totally different kinds of programs.

No. As Ed states, they are two different programs with totally different uses.

Now, you can Place PS files (any version of PSD) into InDesign (or AI). I have had a very few problems with recent PSDs, without Compatibility checked NOT opening in InDesign. Folk tell me that this is not an issue between CS3 InDesign & PS, but I cannot check this.

Do your layout work in InDesign and your photo work in PS. Only other option would be, again as Ed states, use a PDF, but it will get rasterized in PS, and will not be easily editable.

Are you on Windows or Mac? Sounds like there's confusion on your system as to what application is supposed to open InDesign files - but the solution will depend on the operating system.
