THE USE OF TYPEKIT FONTS IN INDESIGN LAYOUT • Typekit fonts are now Adobe Fonts • Beginning in 2020 Adobe allows Creative Cloud account to access and download over 2,750 fonts • New feature automatically downloads and installs the requested font. A preference activates this option
• Beginning in January 2023 PostScript T1 fonts will no longer be supported by Adobe software. All fonts used in an InDesign document layout should be OpenType fonts • This impacts old publication files that will need to be updated to OpenType fonts

WORKING WITH PHOTOSHOP AND ILLUSTRATOR • InDesign layout incorporates images by linking to external files managed in Links panel • Links Panel allows direct access to Photoshop and Illustrator for editing • The best working filetypes are .psd and .ai • Layers created in Photoshop can be used in InDesign to reveal different versions of an image • A path drawn in Illustrator can be copied and pasted into InDesign document and edited as an InDesign path
• For consistent color, all images should be using RGB color mode and color settings should be consistent in all apps
• InDesign Transparency Blend Space should be set to RGB Color
