I have Photoshop and keep hearing on the forum how it interfaces with Vegas. Can anyone in a simple way tell me the ways to utilize this? I know it gets complicated with layers etc.
Vegas will treat a .psd as a flat image, no layers, though it will handle the alpha channel (transparency) correctly. There's no direct interface, at least not in the sense I would use the term. Vegas is simply able to read a .psd file.
A programmer, Satish, is nearing completion on something that will allow Photoshop plugins to be used in Vegas, so we'll soon have another way to leverage Photoshop's power.
