How does Quark ALAP ImagePort handle Photoshop documents that contain effect layers?
If the Photoshop image contains an effect layer, Quark ALAP ImagePort attempts to use the composite image. The composite image, which is saved with the Photoshop image, contains the effects; however, only the layer is available in the Layers tab of Quark ALAP ImagePort. This layer is named “Composite.” To use effect layers in Quark ALAP ImagePort, you need to create the effect as layers. In Photoshop this task can be accomplished by selecting the layer that contains the effect. Hold the Control key (Mac OS) or right-click (Windows) on the effect icon in the Photoshop palette and select Create Layer. You are able to place your Photoshop image in QuarkXPress with modifiable layers.
