For example, if you ultimately need the final image at 600 width and 400 height, then set your artboard dimensions to this, and then scale your layers inside the new artboard dimensions. Then export as a .psd file (make sure you match RGB or CMYK and select "write layers"). You can then export as a .psd file with layers preserved.

I've been opening the tiffs with Illustrator, applying the vectors on a separate layer and then exporting the files in psd format...Works just as described here. But some of the files are so big that I get a "not enough memory" error when I try to export. Any ideas of how to get around this?

Problems exporting as layered photoshop from Adobe Illustrator CS2 Found the cause of our dilemma. Actually one of our designers, Blair, found it. A very complex illustration was temporarily removed from the page and then the export was successfully layered into Photoshop. Then we simply pasted the illustration onto a new layer in the PSD file. My advise is to poke around and delete either complex images or maybe an unusual font so that when you export - make sure that the "text editabilty" selection is NOT greyed out. Which was happening to us. Update! Problems exporting as layered photoshop from Adobe Illustrator CS2

In InDesign i place it once with clipping path and once without. The two images i align on top of each other. The image below - without clipping - i set to mulitply, and the image above is the normal clipped image. Group them. You now have a movable object that has a nice shadow on every background.
