Reply To: InDesign/Prepress Myths

Both tiff and psd are bitmap only, both can have layers, neither support vectors. PSD supports duotone but TIFF does not. Not sure if TIFF supports layer comps; perhaps not. The main benefit for TIFF is that you could more easily import it into powerpoint or quarkxpress 4, or something like that. The main benefit of PSD is that you can just leave it in the native file format.

Here's an old blog post that discusses this (especially in comments): https://creativepro.com/why…..-tiffs.php

As for EPS vs. PDF, here's one post on the topic: https://creativepro.com/my-…..llenge.php
