william, you are doing god's work. today I got into scripting for adobe products and quickly found out, that it is a topic that isn't documented that well so I can't wait to dive into your tutorials. please know that your work is heavily appreciated!!

Hi william , I want to ask you is there a script that convert photoshop layers to indesign layers ?

[@wc7]

None that I know of. Totally different applications that don't share how information is stored. Place images in InDesign to make layers of them.
