When I try to insert a photo into a Pagemaker document, all I get is a photo icon with the file name of the photo. I can't seem to get the photo. Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong, or is the problem in my Pagemaker settings?

You need to save the image out of photoshop with a preview.
ETA: Pagemaker does embed the image it links to it just like QuarkXpress

What version of PageMaker? Your best bet is it convert a Photoshop file to TIFF first -- you will have far fewer problems.
You can change the PageMaker preferences to determine at what file size a photo will be automatically embedded into the PageMaker file, rather than linking; you can always force embedding by using the Element Info dialog -- this is advisable only if you are sending the file to someone else for printing.
Don't be disturbed if the image preview looks like garbage on the PageMaker layout -- if it's properly linked or embedded it will print fine. |

Back in the day when we scanned images we would convert to DCS and supply our client with the preview files. Allowing them to do the layout without the hi-res files so the layout went faster.
We would link to the hi-res on output to our image-setter. But since digital cameras and the advent of the medium format sensor even that has changed.
